Sony Puts Pizza Ordering in Videogames

Fri Feb 25, 7:29 AM ET   Technology - AP
 
PETER SVENSSON, AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK - Demonstrating a deep understanding of what its computer-gaming audience, Sony has built the ability to order pizza into its latest online multiplayer game.

Type the command "/pizza" while playing Everquest II, a fantasy game with 330,000 active players, and get the Pizza Hut Web site, where you can place orders for delivery.

Chris Kramer, spokesman for Sony Online Entertainment, said he believes this is the first time a game accepts orders for real-world items.

Sony plans to integrate the pizza function more tightly into the game, so players can charge pizza to their monthly game subscription bill.

"The goal for the future is to eventually let people do more things like this," Kramer said. "They could type /harry potter and get the new Harry Potter (news - web sites) book delivered or /star wars and get the new Star Wars DVD."

Many games incorporate ads and product placements, but such opportunities are limited with fantasy games like Everquest.

Though the new pizza feature might satisfy appetites, caution is required as the game doesn't pause while you're ordering.

"You wouldn't want to order pizza in the thick of combat, but anywhere that's safe is a good place," said Kramer.

They would never do THAT at HTC.

Make it wings, beer and ribs and you might have something...although for me and many others the food may be tad cold by the time it arrived.

When I lived in Pittsburgh, If we couldnt make it to the Distributor in time, we had to have our beer delivered.

Usually only a couple dollars more with the tip. I was of age to buy alchohol, but they never carded me once, I guess its really not worth carding for alchohol when you deliver it.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Dumbest idea ever if you ask me. Whats so hard about picking up the phone?

Kids with subscribtions also may end up ruining their poor parents with this stunt. Easy to order something that you dont have to pay for right there.
