Sony Graffiti Proven a Hoax

GameSpot UK exposes Sega of Europe's press release and pictures as nothing more than an annoying prank.

Comments
In what will no doubt top the list of lame PR stunts of 1999, Sega of Europe released a doctored image of the Sony Computer Entertainment Europe office building with anti-PlayStation graffiti on it. Sega of Europe sent the photo in an official press release, claiming that this graffiti was the work of a "mystery Sega fan." However, the image proved to be a hoax. Based in London, our UK editors saw firsthand that no alterations had been made to Sony's Great Malborough Street office. Nice try, Sega.
