It's official! I've never even played it, but I stand by my opinion. I think you'll agree with me after you click this link:

It's that big blue room on the other side of the glass. Or, so I've heard.

Sometimes it's a big black room, though. But I think that's when the lights are out.

Well, you do have to go outside (or at least open the door to the outside) to get the pizza.

From all the pizza and inactivity, you'll end up having to type "/911" when you have a heart-attack.

I doubt it....Pizza Hut would have too many prank orders it seems. Plus, why isn't there a big press release about it. Just that one page from a weird address.

EDIT: I just found the actual Sony web page.....I'll be damned. I totally thought it was a joke. Pizza Hut is gonna make a fortune off of this.

I take it Pizza Hut is a nationwide chain.

Pretty clever.

Does /beer work?

It automatically bills your credit card that you used to sign up for Everquest II.

As one of the few here who does play Everquest2, I can confirm its real... when you load the game, you get that stupid advertisement. I find it amusing, it usually contains game information but instead since yesterday's patch, it offers pizza.

Edit : I just tried it, a browser window pops up at the ordering site. I was surprised at how quick it popped up, but then again, the interface is all in Xml so its nothing difficult, some people made a few changes to have an ingame web browser.

Alot of kids can get in trouble this way. They talk their parents into letting them use their card for EQII and then see a bunch of pizza charges on it. Seems like a cool idea, and like I said they're making a fortune off of this, but I can just as easily use the phone to call for pizza. Then again, I guess if you only have dialup, it helps.....
