World's Worst in Videogames: Sony E3 Edition
E3 is a huge place, often holding valuable equipment. Heck, every 360 or PS3 station has a HDTV to show off the 1080p games (or whatever is the highest resolution a game has). So security is certainly a consern. So why does Sony get this award? Because they got the police to do it.
As Joystiq reports (here: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/11/lapd-at-the-ps3-booth/), only the Sony booth has LAPD officers doing security. While some were confirmed as off-duty, which would be fine, but other booths don't have this kind of protection.
While the article never confirmed how many are actual on-duty officers, it certainly implied (with the bolded words "some of us") that there were at least a few.
I'm willing to retract this if found otherwise, but Sony going ahead and taking tax-paid officers, who are supposed to serve the city, not a corporation, is just terrible. Sony, get your own guards.
And with that, Sony gets the Worst in Videogames award.
