Today,thatvideogameblog, via4chan, discovered that at least one of the “My Gamerpad”pictureswas a fake. A user over at the (mainly) humor website found a deviantart render that looked suspiciously like the background utilized in theMy Gamerpadportrait.
This is the originalMy Gamerpadpicture that appeared on June 26.
And this is deviant art usersaffiq’s“3d kolej sains” which was uploaded on April 30 this year.
The resemblance is certainly uncanny. After the Intellisponse leak, almost every fuzzy picture looks as credible as the other. If you missed it, one of the more provocative things that came from the leak was a portrait of Microsoft’s“Avatars” service. Allegedly,Avatarswill be the new representation for users on the LIVE service and a pretty good rip-off of the Mii to boot. With that knowledge in hand, it certainly lent the tiny bit of credence theMy Gamerpadpictures needed to emerge from the bowels of the Internet.
I wonder, are any of you disappointed that Microsoft will apparently not have aHome-like service?
