Good thing I missed this thread.

But to sum it up:

Sony's Ads for the PS3 are great. They actually show the games (Which when it launched, they had the commercials be really abstract and not make a point), and they tout the Blu-Ray player in it, which, since it's essentially won the war, is another good selling point. They also point out the PlayStation Network as it is growing and evolving, especially with the help of Home. I rather like the commercials, as they show why the PS3 is such a good console, among other things.

In comparison to other commercials:

I haven't really seen a lot of XBOX 360 ones, at least not as much as Ninty and Sony, but the last one I saw was of Guitar Hero 3 on XBOX 360 but that sold more on the PS2, so I don't know how much that one helped... Nintendo's commercials are really plain, but to the point to. Here is our first-party game. Play it. It is good. Which are all true, but the whole "Wii (We) would like to play" pun is getting quite old. But a problem with Nintendo's commercials is that you don't see any third party commercials showcasing a game and the Wii (Except Tomb Raider, but that game bombed big time). But I do applaud Nintendo for getting right to the point in the commercial, the game. No music or anything, just play our game, and it hits the point home extremly well.

I have a slight bone to pick with you... matter of fact two.

First, Sony has targeted it's audience as the "hardcore", but they also have targeted the casual with the blu-ray commercials. And as HD penetration rates are increasing, and the number of HD players (Read: Blu-Ray Players) increase, the PS3 being the cheapest one will definetly help them with the "casual".

Second, we don't yet know if Killzone will or will not deliver. But the E3 showing, while it wasn't the 2005 E3 beautiful, was still stunning, and as long as the gameplay is as good as Guerilla would want us to believe, I do think that that game will deliver on all of their promises.
