Desperate. It's all a numbers game for Microsoft and Sony. They will literally give consoles away like that (essentially, they did, and then some) just to say they sold more consoles. Microsoft makes all their money on software, and Sony makes all their money on TV's, hardware, la-de-da-de-da, whatever else they sell, so it really doesn't matter how many they sell...It isn't for money, it's for numbers. It's why they're both losing money per console sold anyways. Microsoft loses $100, I think it was, and Sony loses $200. A very dumb man once said "Yep, we lose money on every job, but we make it up in volume!"...True story, a guy that my dad knew said that, reguarding his business. It was funny. :lol: I have to say though, I would have bought a PS3 for the free HDTV. I can't imagine how lucky those guys who got one felt. I would have been so grateful. ...Then, I would have put the PS3 up on eBay, and even sold it at a loss, if I had to...Which according to current eBay sales of PS3's, I would of had to. I agree they were reeeaaly lucky
