EA Smacked Down For Using X360 Footage to Sell Wii Game

Boing Boing offshoot blog Offworld is reporting that EA can no longer air a Tiger Woods commercial in Brittan after engaging in deceptive advertising processes. In the commercial, Tiger is seen waggling a Wii-mote around during the commercial, in which 360 in-game footage is shown. EA tried to weasel out of it by writing “Game is available on all formats”, but the Brittish public ain’t buying it.
Honestly, I posted this so I could A) link to Offworld, and B) use the awesome image they put together.

Jeezus that comparison is hilarious. Sadly I can’t name the 2nd game and I’m pretty sure I’ve played every golf game ever made.
