The craziest thing I’ve heard this week: Sony + Apple = Wolverine Lovers

By Joe Fourhman | May 17, 2009

PlayStation.Blog had a weird one this week: a co-pro between the PS3 version of X-Men Origins Wolverine’s Adamantium Rage Movie Revenge X-Men (or whatever the game is called) and the iPhone.

There’s a claw icon on the back of the PS3 box, and if you take a picture of that icon with your iPhone (via a free iPhone app called “Feral Senses”), you’ll unlock movie content on your iPhone. PlayStation.Blog revealed there are five icons to find… starting with the game box, a second one on the PS Blog itself, and three others presumably scattered across the internet.

It’s not too earth-shattering – all you’re getting is a bunch of movie screens and trailers and whatnot – but it is kind of a neat use of technology. And sure, you could just take a picture of the game box without buying it, or visit Sony’s flickr gallery to see all the icons, but where’s the fun in that?

Perhaps what is most interesting is that Sony worked with Apple on this… doesn’t the PSP have a camera attachment? My PS3 certainly does.
