Forums - Sony - Strange ad for Afrika: It will bore you to sleep

I don't know if I can embed gametrailers videos, but here's the link.

Shouldn't an ad make you want to have a product, instead of showing how bad it is?????

Isn't it called Hakuna Matata here? xD

Another gold for PS3 ads I guess!



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I saw this ad on ps3fanboy.com and thought two things immediately.

Sony sucks ass at making television adds. And apparently I don't understand Japanese culture enough, but I can't see how this isn't a stupid commercial. Anyone from Japan help me out here?



...

Not a really great line to take in an ad, I agree.

However, those hippos are cute! I'm pretty sure I'm going to get this game. Thank god for PS3 being region free.



that was a crap advert for a game, who ever is part of marketing should be fired

Maybe that Japanese are so industrious that they can never sleep without outside assistance, so they're marketing this game as a sleep aid.

If that is it the case (and trust me, it is) this game will sell over a million in Japan alone.



As in go buy us some coffee.

I found it humorous.



I don't get it at all.



So can any of the Japanese speakers help us out here?
