Major Nelson Fires on Kevin Butler’...

4.6
Earlier this week the face of Sony PlayStation's marketing campaign Kevin Butler accidentally promoted Geohot's infamous PS3 jailbreak code - thanks to a Battleships-related misunderstanding on Twitter.

Now Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb, director of programming for the Microsoft gaming network Xbox Live, has gotten cheeky about Sony's fictional marketing man.

Hryb yesterday posting a tweet which read: "Anyone up for a game of battleship ? ;)".

Not be the most professional thing to do, granted. But that doesn't mean it hasn't raised a titter.


Sony and Microsoft previously traded in the online sarcasm blows around the launch of Kinect, when an internal-only chart boasting that the Kinect was the 'cheapest motion control' device on the market leaked.

Sony's Kevin Butler fired back by releasing its own chart in which it compared Microsoft's Kinect peripheral to a hoop and stick.

1-1, it would seem. Game on.
