Sony tries to secretly wiki-diss Halo 3 and fails

Posted Sep 4th 2007 1:15PM by Dustin Burg

Our friends over at Sony HQ must be at their whits end with all this
Halo 3 talk, because they devilishly and secretly stuck it to the Halo
franchise with a ::gasp:: Wikipedia revision! Using WikiScanner, it
was discovered that an IP address originating out of Sony's UK studios
edited the Wikipedia entry for "Halo series" dissing Halo 3's
graphics. Sony's Wiki revision poked fun of the game's graphics by
saying that they "wont look any better than Halo 2". Ouch Sony, just
ouch. But don't worry Halo fanboys, because the Halo series wiki entry
has since been corrected and set to a semi-locked status. Take that
Halo haters!

But in all seriousness such Wikipedia revisions are quite common and
aren't a huge deal. Although, when it comes to business, these types
of online tactics are somewhat sophomoric and sad. Maybe Sony will
learn from this and hire someone from outside their company to do
their Halo 3 hating. Oh snap!

FFS, do you *ever* bother to check if someone might have posted the same
thing before you?

3 and a half hours before you. Again.

It does show what an utterly fucking useless resource Wikipedia is for
reliable information.

Sadly, some pillocks still quote it as being verbatim.

Forget Wikipedia. What you need, my man, is a good dictionary.
