According to Aftenposten, a newspaper in Norway, who wrote an article about Little Big Planet yesterday, LBP is now the game with most TV adds ever in Norway. It beats the amount of all other Ps3 ads combined.

The average over the past 2 weeks is 54 minutes of ads a day. It has adds on 3 channels, so an average of 18 on each. In Norway, there are roughly 8 minutes of ads pr 30 minutes of TV (at least on these channels). That means that there are about 7 hours of ads on TV on each channel, on 3 channles that's 21 hours.

That means that roughly 1/24 of the ad time on those channels are from LBP. Insane.

It should be noted that the writer of this article is a complete idiot, and that his facts aren't 100% reliable. They should be relatively good though, seeing the paper had 2 big pages on it.

You may know I don't own a Ps3 and haven't posted in this forum before, but I just thought I would let you know.

Its probably true, i saw 31 lbp commercials in one day

That's crazy.

And people thought this game would be niche. I said it countless times: a great game combined with great marketing = success.

 I think Sony are using this game in a great way. Norway is a country that buys pretty much both Wii and Ps3 (they're virtually tied), and this may kick them ahead. I would also believe Norway is a great country to get domination in, seeing as most people buy games for over 50% more than in the UK. It's also one of the areas in Europe with highest attach rate, so despite the consoles being at ~ 60K each, there might be more money in that than one would believe.

funny how, here in france, there is no PS3 ads

actually according to dagbladet ps3 is crushing the wii:)

w00t!

8 minutes of ads for 30 minutes of television?

I couldn't bare that, not at all.

Thank fuck for the BBC.

 That's just these 3 channels though. One of them even has 10 minutes pr 30. Some are at just 2-3 minutes pr 30 min, but getting ads for those are also much more expensive, so that's probably why Sony didn't get LBP on those.

post the ads!!

i wanna see them
