hmm.... are you not using Netflix because there are no Sony Movies?

Netflix = Streaming $8.95 for over 33,000 movies

OR 

PSN or XBL= Rentals are $1.99 - $5.99 each...

why someone would not use Netflix as opposed to XBL or PSN movies is well... beyond my understanding..

well maybe I look at it from a mortgage / family point of view, were price is key.

I like this ad,,,let's hope they get it on tv

its about time they start pulling out some samurai swords. now just keep cutting.

This commercial started out with a brief mention of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift and Resistance 2 and ended up with the PS3 being a downloadable movie service for chick flicks. What's up with that? They should have said something like the PS3 has some games and it is the only blu-ray device where you can play Metal Gear Solid 4 and then watch The Dark Knight. Are the people in Sony's marketing and advertising department mentally challenged?

I think this could be part of a potentially great marketing move by Sony.
Different ads advertising the different features of PS3 at different times on different channels.
I.E advertise games on teen/post teen channels (Nicol., MTV etc), Blu-Ray on tech type channes (Nat. Geo, Discovery etc.), Downloadable movies on general interest channels.

Targeted ads to targeted groups, make make different groups aware of the different aspects of the system some people either didn't know about or would generally interest them.

Trying to advertise everything in one ad would just be too much overload

figure this, if this advertisement is the reason some purchases are made in the next few weeks consider it a successful advertisement. There is no way we will ever know but still we will see.

Remember 3% of all ads are successful. While this is the number shown in college textbooks I look at it as if there are some sales pushed through because of an add. Even if its only 3% for the entire time the ad has been ran, it was successful.

So...we're going to see what we're never going to know? Great paradox.

Don't they already have a commercial like that?  LBP+Resistance 2+Motorstorm PR+ the Dark Knight at the end, it just doesn't have MGS4.

Way better than other ads I have seen trying to sell ps3s. Some are so unclear with their subject matter that you're left wondering how sony manages to sell any ps3s. This shows the fact that it has features beyond video games, while still mentioning some of sony's ps3 software offerings. While you could make a case saying they're not putting video games first, at least sony made a decent ad.

here is one ps3 commercial in particular where it's not clear at all what you're getting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn6czV9HC2s

Isn't it over 12,000 movies not 33,000?
