    Talking Win a Sega Mega Drive in time for Christmas!

    This had me in stitches.

    The Daily Mail: Win a Sega Megadrive! Or ... not



    The good old Daily Fail, never shy about its ignorance when it comes to videogames. You see, despite taking any opportunity it can to talk about the "sick filth" that is violent videogames, The Daily Fail seems to have very little understanding of them. This is exemplified when the British tabloid lists a Sega Megadrive among the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii as a current game console.

    The headline reads "1,000 Free Game Consoles: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Sega Megadrive, Wii, and more ..." Yes, only Daily Fail readers will have the opportunity to win a Sega Megadrive! Or not ... there is no Megadrive on offer, just that Blaze plug n' play machine with 20 old Genesis games on it.

    This contest offer is also right above a headline that talks about babies being beaten to death. You can expect The Daily Mail to combine both stories by tomorrow morning. Because it is a rubbish newspaper that doesn't understand anything it talks about.
    Seriously, I don't care how big a rock your news paper is written under-- how can you not realize that Sega Genesis is 20 FREAKING YEARS OLD?

    um, do you think they may mean the Brazilian MegaDrive, that was just released?

    /edit OHHH! It's the handheld AtGames thing. I read the article, for the "Blaze Sega Mega Drive" and saw it called that (never heard it called that before) in a youtube vid.

    /edit edit DOH! Why do I skim-read?? double DOH!

    Not usually a big fan of UKR myself - ran by a big whiny fanbaby with an update schedule consisting of fortnightly 'things that look like the Dreamcast logo' - but you're right

    Maybe not for the sake of having another one, but saying you actually got to WIN one, in 2008 no less.

    What a mistake from the Daily Mail. The Sega Mega Drive should be top of that list.
