How fast is CELL? 'PLASTIC CUP SPEED!'

Sony yesterday launched the marketing push for the PlayStation 3 with a series of online video "stories" featuring six, three-minute high definition video clips. They were created by Stream, the branded entertainment arm of TBWA/London.

The first two - called "Real-time" and "Blu-ray" - feature a boxer and an avid collector respectively.

In the boxing ad, the short film dramatises the power the PS3 has to learn and counter a player's moves.

The film featuring the collector aims to illustrate Blu-ray technology's capability for storing information.

Other films include a children's craze called "speed stacking" to show the processing speed of the PS3; BMX trick riders to demonstrate how to play using body movement; and a behind-the-scenes look at King Kong and Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson's special effects studios to underline the console's cinema-level production quality.

The advertising has been pulled thanks to the release date slip and the marketing is now under review.

Yes CUP STACKING is pretty cool... Still... Not the best way to get the point across

LOL........NOW 'SONY' WANTS US TO BELIEVE THEIR "SUPACUMPUTA" CAN ACHIEVE 'WETA' LEVEL GAMEPLAY GRAPHICS. THAT'S PRICELESS. up:


BTW, I (UNFORTUNATELY) SAW THE "BOXER" ONE YESTERDAY, WHEN 'LIZZY' TRICKED ME INTO DOWNLOADING THAT F***ING 100 MB VIDEO WITH THE 12 SECONDS OF 'R:FOM' FOOTAGE. IT MADE NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.........MAKES THE BIZARRE '360' AD CAMPAIGN LOOK LIKE PURE GENIOUS.

Going to WETA to talk about the 'console's cinema-level production quality'???

Sounds alot like a promise of playing games PS2 with TOY STORY quality grahics in game

SONY would never do that

Speed stacking is awesome. I don't think it's a bad way to get the point across. Some of these people move like a blur. They're amazing.

STILL, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW TERRIBLY UNDERWHELMING THAT "SPEED" IS, COMPARED TO THE CALCULATIONS OF EVEN AN OLD COMPUTER/PROCESSOR. IF THEY WANT TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE 'PS3' IS ACTUALLY A "SUPERCOMPUTER".....LIKE THEY'VE BEEN SAYING IT IS.....THEY NEED TO BE SHOWING SOMETHING FAR MORE AMAZING THAN SOME KIDS STACKING CUPS. A BETTER REPRESENTATION WOULD BE.......I DON'T KNOW......MAYBE SHOWING A TIME-LAPSED VIDEO OF AN ANT COLONY BUILDING AN ANT HILL.

I see what you're saying, but that vast majority of the public don't need to know the degree of speed. For them, the fact it's fast is going to be good enough.

Plus, speed stacking is more hip than ant colonies.

Cup stacking and Exploding Granny will make great launch titles!

I think at the end of the new generation that we will see graphics close to WETA level from both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360

No im not. Its a similar stupid move to try and con dumbasses into thinking the PS3 will spit out something that WETA would be proud of.

I REALLY HOPE YOU WERE BEING SARCASTIC.

BUT, IF YOU SERIOUSLY THINK ANY CONSOLE WILL BE CAPABLE OF THIS " **** ", THEN I MIGHT AS WELL PUT YOU ON IGNORE RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE I KNOW YOUR IGNORANCE WILL ONLY CAUSE PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE.

Nope... Just being a SONY FAN. Upset that people are dumping on SONY he looked for the closest thing to try and dump on.

IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS TO MAKE SUCH A SILLY STATEMENT. 'WETA' IS WORLD REKNOWNED FOR THEIR GROUNDBREAKING EFFECTS, AND ARE LARGELY CONSIDERED THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.........AHEAD OF 'DIGITAL DOMAIN' AND 'ILM'.

MAYBE HE THINKS THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHlTFEST, THAT WAS THE 'PS2' VERSION OF THE GAME.

I love you ya big monkey Blas
