New commercial for the PS3 in the US... Seriously, WTF...

 

[Jennifer Walters]

WTF?! Was that like an ad for a new Omen movie or something?

 

[imdaly]

Yeah, I saw that. Pretty rediculous.

Have you seen the ones for the UK, too?

These are ridiculous! At least with the XBOX360 "Jump In" commercials, they were fun, entertaining, and got the message across very quickly that the X360 is the system to get if you want to be able to play with people from all around from all ages etc.

These ads are lonnnnng, borrrringgg, and just painful to watch. These do not make me say "Hey! That looks like fun! I want in on that!"


And I love the tagline "This Is Living". Anyone been to www.thisiswaiting.com yet?

I think that baby just stole my soul.

 

[imdaly]

Dude, you don't HAVE a soul! What are you talking about?

 

[Mr. Credible]

that baby makes me want to crap myself... in a bad way.

There's a good way to crap yourself?

By george, I have to try this!

 

[Avalanche]

I kind of liked the second ad, with the exploding living room and all. The first one not so much so. It did drag.

ETA: Just saw the US one. Quite cool. I can see how it will work as an effective advertisement. The type that gets people talking.

 

[Darkdd]

That baby sounds like the grudge boy

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Oh my gosh these ads SUCK.

 

[Ice-man]

These commercial's seem to be more of subliminal messages.

I think the commercial is trying to get out a point that this is not your ordinary toy, And the whole deal with the baby is its a plastic doll but its seems so alive, so maybe there trying to say ps3 is more than just a game console, its the future, its alive, its ps3

Thats my view on the commercial, what do you guys think?

 

[Aiden]

I think it's weird and might possibly be the single worst advert I've ever seen...

 

[jaydawg]

Dude, you don't HAVE a soul! What are you talking about?

Only because the baby stole it.......

 

[Speedball]

These make me hate it even more...

 

[kytrigger]

The weirdest part is that Sony is usually known for having really neat ads. I still love the Bravia one with all the bouncing balls...

 

[Axid]

 

[Mentok]

More pretentious advertising **** from SONY. Honestly, do they really think if they keep pushing this **** that people will start to think that SONY are an upmarket brand or something?

Its a ****ing video game console you ****ing morons.

You want to advertise it?

SHOW THE ****ING CONSOLE AND THE ****ING GAMES

Oh... then SONY wouldent be able to go with the 'POTENTIAL' bull**** that they are so in love with

 

[Ice-man]

^ someone here likes to curse

 

[Mentok]

I wanted to see if there wasd a limit like the 8 pictures in a post limit

 

[SouLeSS]

Man, Sony doesn't need to fire the people. Look at what it's doing.

Look at how you guys are reacting. You're saying "HOLY **** LOOK HOW BAD THAT COMMERCIAL FOR THE PLAYSTATION THREE WAS!".

You may be puzzeled, but think about it. A commercial is to simply sell you on a product, and hopes to cause talk about said product amongst peers.

They're geniuses.

Funny then how it's the baby that's getting all the attention instead of the PS3.

 

[deathshead2]

Holy crap that scares the crap out of me. Really creepy makes me afrid to buy a PS3.

 

[Ice-man]

If you dont buy a ps3 that little demon baby will visit you at night.

wow imagine waking up do that.

Yeah, it's definately sublimnial messaging because Krazy Ken got you to think that the PS3 is "the future."

How does this ad sell anyone on the product.. While any press is good press, people talking about how terrible an ad is doesn't mean that they're geniuses. If anything, IMO, it shows off their cockyness. They feel as though they don't need to show games and can go with an off the wall ad like this makes me feel as though they can put a dead kitten in a box, call it Playstaion 4, and still have it outsell Microsoft.

But it still does get people talking. You have to remember that most peop earen'tas clued in to the graphics/hard drive/everything else that the people here on teh game forum know. They simply know the name Playstation. The ad gets them talking about it, but probably doesn't come off as cocky or anything to people that don't really know what Krazy Ken's been saying. They simply see the ad, say"wow, that was weird/creepy/whatever" and then simply remember that a new Playstation is coming out.

And as for the dead kitten thing as a Playstation 4, that's just silly. That'd only outsell Microsoft in Japan...
