The first bit of mischief from the Xbox 360 house went down at the Midnight PS3 launch in Paris, where a big Xbox 360-branded boat sailed passed queuing punters with the message "Xbox 360 heart you". We don't know what it means either, but we're sure the cold French punters got the message.

An hour later (thanks to the wonders of time zones) more naughty pranksters descended on the official London launch event at Virgin Megastore Oxford Street. As you can imagine the chilly London weather isn't ideal for a street campout, but luckily some friendly chaps were on hand giving out free camping chairs.

Further investigation revealed the chairs were branded with the message "Shouldn't have kept you waiting" and the internet URL www.shkyw.org (http://www.shkyw.org/). We'll let you check that site out yourself to discover who the mischievous do-gooders really were.

Not that PS3 really needed that extra insult. They should've used that effort in bigger launches like the Wii where people actually came! XD

Some more pics, straight from the scene, look at how empty it is :p .

So far the UK, French and Australian PS3 launches seem to have failed :D .....
