I fail to see how Sony plans to attract any customers with this ad.

Basically, all the kids in that video are getting sold into slavery, so us foreign devils can afford to feel honoured to pay for the PS3. I think. Is that what Sony mean?

aye.

The PS2 was popular enough that they don't really need to attract cusotmers - they just have to hope the price tag doesn't scare them all away. ;) But yeah that was a terrible ad. They should just rip off Head On's ad campaign it's so damn effective.

PS3, apply directly to your credit card

Wow, I would not even have known that that was a PS3 commercial if the title hadn't said so. At the end I thought it was a trailer for Spider-Man 3 based on the font...

That was lame.

I wonder how many PS3 fanboys lost their e*******s over their beloved console during that commercial.

I kid, I kid. ;)

This ad makes as much sense as charging $600 for a game console... good job Sony.

It doesn't make sense!! If you want a playstation 3 you don't stand on a roof! You pull out your life savings.

They should have made it realistic. Kid wakes up goes onto his computer logs onto ebay then proceeds to cry.

Why does Sony even have to advertise that it is coming. Unless you have been on Mars, in a cave, with your eyes closed and your fingers in your ears, you know its coming. The games are what sould be advertised,

And that kid should be in school.
