Sony Doesn’t Want You To Play XBOX 360 On Sony TV’s


Official XBOX Magazine won’t be getting any Sony TV’s to review as the console wars heat up.

Here’s where it gets weird. Murph contacted Sony’s PR to request a set for review, and was told…no. It would appear that the console wars extend further than any of us realized, but that’s the reason given — we’re a Microsoft-focused (but not -owned, I should point out) publication, and they are a PlayStation-creating company (but not the same business division, I should point out), so…just no. “I have to support our friends over at our sister company,” said the representative.
