The first thing I thought when I saw the pics of the PS3 was Spiderman. Sure, Spiderman is Sony pictures, but c'mon.

...Oh, my bad, they changed the 'Y' ever so slightly. x_x

Yeah same here,when I saw the long PS3 logo from E3 last year, I was wondering about the similar font thing. I smell a lawsuit (yes, Sony suing itself).

The prosecutor, Sony, defended by Kyle's Dad, would like to sue the defendent, Sony, also defended by Kyle's Dad, for Copywrite infringement.

Sony is counterclaiming, saying Sony infringed their copywrite. No matter who wins, Kyle's Dad will come out rich.

It is fitting that Sony opted to use a font similar to that used for the Spiderman logo... especially since Sony have been casting a web of deceit about the PlayStation 3 for the best part of a year.

And both Peter Parker and the PlayStation 3 have to hide their true identities to protect their reputation.

Why do a lot you wear the avatar "Club Ninja is a Rad guy"?

golf clap!


as for the club ninja thing it's an off topic sig fad (it's a thread about mesesta or something).

I was going to jump in with my "Club Ninja is a Bad guy" but I got lazy.

How about... "Club Ninja is a Gonads kinda guy"? (said with love and good intentions).

I personally started wondering about this when I saw an advance viewing of the original Spider-Man movie, back around 2001 or 2002 ;)

But all the txt and graphics could still be all promo material, i wouldn't be surprised if it were to change closer to the release of the system?

It's always possible. The case design has changed quite a bit since the early mockup, though, remember that?

I'm not sure why this would be a problem. Typefaces aren't copyrighted, any one that pays the licensing fee can use them for whatever they want.

i always notice that. kinda like how the xbox font and the font from all the harry potter books are constantly ripped off.

edit: who the heck is kyle's dad? is it another word filter like "paris hilton" or "nicole richie"? bill gates possibly?
