I'm not sure it's for PS3. Look closely at the second controller in the second pic. The bottom triggers look like the previous Dualshock triggers and not the actual L2/R2 trigger buttons Sony provided with the Sixaxis and Dualshock 3.

Click on the pictures to see them in full. It says 'Playstation 3' in the top right hand corner of both pictures.

The artwork does look great but they are not very focused ads and they don't do much to sell the PS3.

I think the best way to advertise the PS3 would be to put it in the arms of a girl in a bikini while she jumps up and down. While this is happening the words "BUY A PS3" would flash several times. No one would have a choice.

 

QFT I want a commercial like that.

 I was just saying, they don't have a wire attatched or anything...but those aren't the new L2/R2 triggers, lol.

I don't get it, why are these Nazi soldiers constructing a giant statue of a baseball player?

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

the best PS3 ads :

the black octopus + good music = VERY GOOD

others were quite bad ...

ye the black octopus version was an amazing advert for ps3, although the new gt5p bundle advert is simply to good

the worst was that sticky type guy jerking about with his face painted, what a joke



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

I looked at those pictures and just as I thought the helmets are CLEARLY different. (More like an American or British WWI helmet actually...) And the banner flag is obviously the X button; there's also a flag to the right with a Triangle button and the foreground soldier's shoulder patch is the Square button. I don't know how touchy the Germans are but I think the rest of Europe is gonna be OK. But then I don't live there so ....

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I think I got the answer to what the banners mean.

They are obviously trying to say that the actually like their customers.

Their new slogan: "Buy our PS3, and we will build a 5-story statue of you on your backyard....guaranteed or your money back!!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Statue made out of 45% sugar and will melt in rainy day. Must purchase PS3 to know how good it is and what it can do. PS3 can never be returned......all your money belong to us......at request of a refund, your statue will be destroyed or sent to starving children in Africa.

I am a Pakistani.....my name is Dan....how hard is that? (Don't ask about the 101...apparantely there are more of me out there....)

Wow those pics... it looks like Hell likes the PS3... and we all know Hell = evil so by that logic does that mean PS3 = evil?

I mean seriously every PS3 commercial has depicted something that you could relate to being in Hell... there was that one that had that God awful and over played "Ladies and gentlemen" and all it was 2 second clips of games and the rest being nothing but fire and black stuff everywhere and then you seen the faces come through the black crap like it was demon possessed which reminds me of a horror movie that I can't remember the name of...

I mean Sony hasn't made a good commercial since the racially offensive squirrels...

I'm pretty sure that would only work on guys.
