What was so wrong about the "white is coming" ad? You oversensitive people... j/k ;P

A white PS3 would seem like an interesting ad to my lineup... it woud match my Wii. I prefer white.

nothing really it wasnt racist or anything to me, but it just didnt make sense to me and was just waiting to be criticized.

Let me start by saying that I'm very open minded and against kneejerk reactions from the taboo-crowd. But the only way to make that ad more racist would be to have a skinhead explicitly kicking a black guy's ass (or vice-versa).

Let's be objective and look at what the ad explicitly depicted: a white human dominating a black human. That's the central message of the ad, it's not even a sidenote or anything. It can't get much more racist than that! If any pimple-faced teenager can understand that message, why can't a marketing company (supposedly ran by adults) realize it?

To release such an ad is just begging for trouble.

On-topic:

Having read the thread about the possibility of thin supply of the 40 GB model during Christmas, I think they should worry more about producing PS3s than about different colors. Unless their strategy is to claim they sold out... but shouldn't their priority be to sell as many PS3s as possible? They should stick to their priorities. You don't see Nintendo releasing different colors yet, since they're having supply problems it's better to just remain focused on churning out one model as quickly as possible.

This sounds like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
