What's this about a thumb penis? O_o I don't get it.

This one wasn't actually horrible though. Bad, not not nasty/weird like Sony's.

Your retinas were not burned by the thumb penis ad Sony did for the PS3?

'tis better this way, Soriku ...

yeah.... it was pretty bad.

And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360...

I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

SnakeEyez, that's a bad link. Did you look before you posted?

*rolls eyes.*

Anyhow, a simple Google search comes up with a ton of results that show it.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=playstation+3+thumb+ad&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=playstation+3+thumb+a

And every single one is terrible. If the thumb was more erect (lawl), then it'd probably have been more obviously a thumb, and therefore less disturbingly creepy.

LOL, damn. No I didn't look, I just took the source picture that Kotaku linked to and copied that, my bad.

I wouldn't call it weird, I'd just call it bad. The article sums up pretty well why it's just a bad commercial.

Yeah that was a pretty bad ad lol.

Even though it is super old and banned lol my favorite Xbox 360 ad was still this one:

Sony Bravia ads are also cool as hell, can't say much about their wierd playstation ads though haha
