Korean banks profess love of PS3

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 13th 2007 at 10:00PM }

The Shihan Bank in Korea is home to a brand new promotion that shouts out loud: WE LOVE PLAYSTATION. The "Bank Zone" allows bankers to play PlayStation 3 games while they wait. Maybe Sony's thinking that these Korean consumers wouldn't mind withdrawing an extra ~~$599~~ ~~$499~~ 518,000 won to pick up a system.

That ain't bad at all considering they are getting the 80gig version w/ Video on Demand feature.

Yeah i think it is interesting indeed. When people deposit their paycheck they will instead deposit part of it :). Some businessman might see it being really cool and buy it for his children...

I've been begging for someone to implement timekillers like this in the DMV or other places with ploddingly slow lines for decades.

Only at a bank in Korea. :)
