SONY: How can I help you today.
ME: Hi, I was just reading an article in EGM where Jack Tretton says he will give anyone who finds a PS3 on a store shelf in North America for more then 5mins $1200.
SONY: Ummmm, Sorry sir I know nothing of that.
ME: Well, he did I have it in print right in front of me, I just need to know where I can send the video tape of the PS3's sitting in my local walmart for more then 5 mins to claim my $1200
SONY: Sir, it isnt an actual promotion
ME: No **** its not a promotion, its more a PR nightmare. But he did say it and I have the proof.
SONY: Sir, there is no promotion stating that you can send in PS3 stock video and get $1200
ME: I know this.. listen to me really carefully mmk?
SONY: Sir..
ME: Shhh Listen
SONY: SIR I CANN
ME: LISTEN. JACK TRETTON OF SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT AMERICA STATED THAT THERE ARE NO PS3's TO BE FOUND IN NORTH AMERICA.
SONY: Yes sir, please calm down.
ME: Sorry, he also stated that if someone could find a PS3 on a shelf for more then 5 mins after delivery then he will give the $1200.. WHERE DO I SEND MY PROOF AND GET MY MONEY.
SONY: Sir, I am going to hang up
ME: Why?
SONY: Because I told you there is no promotion of that type. The PS3 is currently the best selling console and will remain the dominant namebrand this generation. 
ME: Wow, your worse then Sony fanboys... are you all brainwashed? Seriously.. this is going to be a legal matter now.. Your in for some crap. Whats your name
SONY: I dont see why that is relevent sir.
ME: NAME!
SONY: Brian.
ME: There now wasnt that easy?
SONY: Would you like me to transfer you to our legal department?
ME: No thanks.. my lawyer will be in touch...
SONY: Is there anything else I can help you with.
ME:.........
SONY: Sir?
ME: Your kidding right?
SONY: No sir...
ME: Good bye

As bad as he is at lying, it can't be as bad as that Jackass Tretton.

Actually there is nothing here to suggest that this did not happen. Pretty much the reaction you'd expect from an inbound customer service rep

"5 million units sold with no games" = True.

"1200$ for 5 PS3s sitting on shelves" = False.

Sony says some extreme BS, but this isn't one of them.

I thought Jack said "I will give you $1200", meaning he will give the guy at EGM who was interviewing him $1200. I dont think he said "I will give everyone $1200" Did he?
