Splinter Cell Surprise Tools Revealed
Laptop Battery Ubisoft has today announced a product promotion deal with Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications that will see Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow players taking on terrorists not only with guns but with a P900 smart phone and a T637 camera phone. The latest Sony Ericsson models will be used by central character Sam Fisher not only to communicate with his superiors but also to switch weapons and photograph suspects. A tie in that does make sense but on the other hand can't the government give our poor Sammy something better than a camera phone? I mean he's a secret agent, sheesh! Ubisoft's and Ericsson's comments are below.
"The innovative technology featured in the P900 and the T637 made these the perfect devices to add to the intense realism in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow," said Dewey Walsh, product marketing director for Sony Ericsson North America. "The Sony Ericsson P900 smart phone is the ultimate complement to help Sam Fisher complete his missions. With its combination of PDA, phone, and camera features, it combines the latest and greatest in mobile technology, outfitting our hero with everything needs to combat evil."
"The Tom Clancy Splinter Cell franchise has a strong history of product promotions that have really paid off--with the original game selling more than 5.2 million copies to date," said Jill Steinberg, Ubisoft's director of media and promotions. "More and more brands are beginning to realize that TV viewership is down and that reaching the male 18-to-34 demographic from all fronts can be achieved by teaming up with a video game publisher. We are pleased to have Sony Ericsson join our group of A-list partners for this unique opportunity."
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
