The baby was actually a quite clever play on the look of the PS3 and the movie 2001. You should watch it sometime. I really enjoyed the original PS3 commercials. Then again, it wasn't a big shock to see them fly right over the heads of most viewers. 2001 isn't exactly a consumer-friendly movie, but I thought the black monolith idea with the PS3 and baby at the end was very clever. Edit: Good God, most of you call yourselves gamers (and many of you sci-fi fans) yet you haven't seen 2001? The parallels between the movie and the PS3 commercials were obvious. |
I got the reference. However I still thought the commercials were stupid, creepy and annoying. Though granted if I had to rank them it would be Annoying, creepy and then stupid. It's a classic case of not driving home the points about the system the people care about because Sony thought all people cared about was "Playstation."
Now they are actually focusing on what matters, the games... but also using up time for Blu-Ray. Which while a plus obviously isn't even on the radar of your normal consumer.
