Get your dri... er, game on with the Stella Artois PSP
Nothing goes together like drinking brewskis and the PlayStation Portable, right? Apparently, that goes doubly so if you're a sales representative in the land down under. Stella Artois is the number one international draught beer, but they haven't cracked the Australian market. So, instead of sending boring brochures and glossy guides down to the land of Oz, they sent 50 custom-made Stella-branded PSPs to the sales teams.
Not only were they in hand-stitched black velvet Stella bags, but they also had Stella themes loaded on them, and were packed with information about the beer. Plus, since they have wi-fi built-in, they can download updated beer data when they aren't playing God of War: Chains of Olympus or listening to Kylie Minogue MP3s. Now that's a marketing tool we can get behind. We wonder how long it'll be before one of these babies is up on eBay.

As if both the Playstation and Stella Artois brands didn't already need to shake off their brands' Chavtastic image; these just go to compound the problem.

Now if more booze manufacturers did---
...ah screw it, it's easier for me to just buy the alcohol. It makes everything temporarily beautiful. :\

Maybe the reason Stella is having a hard time breaking through in Australia is because it tastes like garbage.

Stella Artois in one word:
Overpriced.
I can get a much tastier beer for 2/3 the price, thanks.

Stella is a good beer. And now they own Budweiser - something our politicians swore they'd block! Hooray, my beer-drinking preference has helped a foreigner purchase an American company!

That's really cool, but if they wanted it to be more authentic, they would have given it a gold trim, just like the official Stella glasses.
