Korean banks profess love of PS3

The Shihan Bank in Korea is home to a brand new promotion that shouts out loud: WE LOVE PLAYSTATION. The "Bank Zone" allows bankers to play PlayStation 3 games while they wait. Maybe Sony's thinking that these Korean consumers wouldn't mind withdrawing an extra ~~$599~~ ~~$499~~ 518,000 won to pick up a system.

That ain't bad at all considering they are getting the 80gig version w/ Video on Demand feature.

Yeah i think it is interesting indeed. When people deposit their paycheck they will instead deposit part of it :). Some businessman might see it being really cool and buy it for his children...
