Sony Can't Spell

Filed in archive Console Wars on June 14, 2006

Wow, this has to be one of the biggest goofs in the history of the interactive entertainment industry.

At Sony's Ginza Showroom at E3 this year, they had a PS3 on display with the new motion sensing controller and all. It's a sleek looking console and all, but there was just one problem....

A majorly embarrassing spelling error on Sony's part. Notice in the pictures, 'Select' is spelt, 'Serect"

How do you do that Sony?!? I mean, I know that you rushed to get that controller in for E3, but seriously.....That button has been marked 'Select' since like 1997.

Here's another close up image:

You're probably thinking that this is just a really impressive photoshop job, but apparently it's real. These images come from Kotaku, who were able to confirm that Sony did in fact make a horrendous spelling error.

Listen, I'm not one to criticize on spelling and grammatical errors, because I make them all the time....but this is like handing in your Dissertation with your first name spelt wrong.
