Their postal-advertising is first class.
Since registering my PSOne ages ago, and my PS2 when I got it last year, I have recieved so much funny advertising mail.
Some time ago I remember getting a Tomb Raider envelope filled with loads of letters, photos etc.
I also got a Syphon Filter mock spy kit, with a little piece of red plastic to read secret messages.
A couple of weeks ago I got a WRC necklace thing with info about the game inside.

Then today I get a blank birthday card. Hmmm, strange.
So I open the plastic wrapper, and inside are stickers with various apologies inside, with which to stick inside the card.
You are supposed to be so addicted to your PS2 games that you have ignored the special people in your life, so you send the apology card.
Very original.

Their TV adverts may suck, but in terms of their advertising junk mail, Sony rule.

I got that blank card today too.

On that competition card, surely everyone will just tik all 8 boxes for the games? I mean if you've got the same chance of winning, why not take all the games? Even if you don't like them you can sell them.

Past few years i have had a Christmas and Birthday card from Sony. How thoughtfull!!

My name wasnt on the card obviously, but i had the likes of Lara Croft, Clair Redfield, Jak and Daxter and so on all wish me happy returns.

Come to think of it......this was some advertising ploy wasnt it!?

Oh well, the demo discs and free stuff they send cant be bad.

Probably expecting some 'The Getaway' stuff to be posted before long.

Hohoho. And still I get to roll out world class processes and methods, manage the finances of a £342million project, and do my christmas shopping.

The world needs more people like me.
