Sony has the worst ad department in the world.

The greatest thing about this commercial was the girl with the gorgeous ass. But i agree with one of the comments this would make a interesting movie, despite it having to do absolutely NOTHING with the ps3.

Better than those damn annoying PSP adds with the racial stereotype hairballs and squirrels.

They teach you in ad related school that the best way to advertise a product is not to show the product and inform, but to make a memorable image not relating to the product. We discussed a little of this at my film class in USC when we discussed ads. Most people don't remember specifics about the product, but would remember things like a hot woman drinking beer, or even more so (I'd assume) a naked woman. Its more about psychological connections than, "this product does this many gigaflops."

I rarely connect with advertising, so I'm not even going to comment on this particular ad regarding what I think. I rely on research of whatever product I'm purchasing.

Its funny that the stuff that pisses us off about things is usually the stuff that attract the majority of people.

This is reminding me of the PS3's creepy baby commercial. Except I think that worked the wrong way and uh...scared people off the product.

I was speaking as a consumer who doesn't have one, and just finished watching this awesome spectacular magical amazingly non-homosexual piece of advertising.
