Rumor: Paris airport gets some serious PS2 and PS3 lovin'

All Paris PS3 fans would be wise to book all future flights out of Charles de Gaulle International Airport. According to a translated story off PS3 site Playfrance, on June 27th, 14 PS3 consoles will be connected individually to Sony Bravia 1080p HDTV sets in the "Galerie Parisienne" terminal. A slightly easier-to-read translation mentions the stations will be spread amongst "three comfortable" sections and "able to accommodate up to 28 players simultaneously." On an even harder to swallow note, "80 PS2 consoles" were deployed in the same airport, in order to allow a new generation of potential gamers to "discover the new plays of PlayStation 2." Wait, 80 PS2 consoles already deployed, and now 18 PS3's connected to 1080p Bravia HDTV's? Hmm ... something sounds awfully fishy about this. Until we can confirm it with more reliable sources, we're labeling this as "rumor." Although not the first case of gaming in airports, if it proves to be true it would certainly make flight delays a whole lot more enjoyable. By chance, would any of our French readers happen to be on their way to the Charles de Gaulle airport? Screenshots, or it never happened!
