Major Nelson just caught Sony in a major faux pas. On the PSP Connect site -- a site that offers downloadable goodies for PSP owners -- there is an ad for a new Gran Turismo HD trailer. There's only one problem though, the image used for the ad is from Project Gotham Racing 3. Seriously, check out the original image on Bizarre's website. Looks like someone didn't get the memo that GTHD and PGR3 are, in fact, different games. And just in case someone wises up and changes the picture, Major Nelson caught it on his Flickr account. We won't even go in to the hilarity of mistaking a year old 360 launch title for a brand new "4D" Playstation 3 game. Oh no, we couldn't do that. It would be too low. Check out the incriminating evidence after the break.
Wow. Just wow.

Good god... how could ANYONE make that mistake? This isn't some computer error... some "artist" actually pulled out a PGR3 image and put GTHD on it.
Wow.

I still can't believe that site is an official Sony site. As a web developer myself every piece of content that goes on our sites passes through artists, editorial, legal and then to me the programmer. I say there is a deviant Sony employee behind this. I think someone is sticking it to the man. LOL it's really funny though.
