PS3 Powered By Apple?

Untrue web rumors spark over homepage image.

July 7, 2006 - Earlier today, message boards across the web were set on fire with the latest PS3 rumor. Was it a new system configuration? A newly redesigned controller with tilt sensing AND rumble? Perhaps even a new price point for the PS3 itself? No, the genesis of the discussion came from a curious addition to the official PlayStation 3 website.

Astute visitors to the next generation console's homepage witnessed smoke and an Apple logo prominently displayed between the system's PlayStation 3 insignia and the controller for a half-second or so. This promptly spurred rumors that Apple and Sony might be working together on the system. A few hours later, the PlayStation 3 homepage was updated, with the smoke and Apple logo removed entirely.


The image that ignited the firestorm.
Was this cause for conspiracy, or a poorly loaded Flash plug-in? Sony representatives told IGN this shortly after the fiasco was corrected: "In a recent update to the PlayStation 3 section of the playstation.com website, an external error was made during the upload process and the Apple icon was mistakenly placed on the site. We immediately fixed the problem and apologize for any confusion this may have caused."

In more specific terms, the Apple Flash templates weren't entirely exorcized of all their layers (including the one with the Apple symbol) when they were initially uploaded to the official PS3 website. The result was the temporary Apple logo while page loaded and the mania took off from there.

Mystery solved.
