t may be a bit early for April Fool's tomfoolery, but one interweb joker has gone to the trouble of creating a fake GameSpot page falsely reporting that Sony has canned the European PS3 launch. While the page itself looks authentic enough, the dodgy URL (http//rowo87.tripod.com/gamespot.html) and broken links give this away as being nothing but a harebrained hoax. Nice try, but no cigar (apart from maybe a joke exploding one).

:rofl: I honestly feel bad for whoever had that much time and were so board that they made a fake site just to screw with people accomplishing nothing...

It actually doesn't take that long to make. I mean, he probably just copied the source and changed the article. That's why the links are broken. The links are trying to add to the end of "HIS" url, not gamespots.

Somehow...I can see that actually happening in the next few months/years. One more feather and it'll be over the edge.

What a prick, now he's gonna show off to all his friends he managed to make people think for a few seconds their life was over and that his little prank is famous in the PS3 world.

Ah well, I say it's an April Fools joke way too early... tut tut!
