Although I like these spots I think Sony shouldn't advertise so abstractly and creatively. In my opinion it would make more sense to show people the great game lineup and to make them clear what the special qualities of PS3 are (such as blu-ray).

Are these on in US or in Europe?

They're on in US. Over here there are some spots of different games such as Singstar, Motorstorm, Resistance 2 and of course LittleBigPlanet.

The 2nd one actually shows their game lineup so I dont see the problem.

Somebody who doesn't already know the games before he sees this commercial doesn't know them afterwards either. The titles of the games are not even mentioned.

Sony just has to show a 15 secound gameplay scene from the leviathan battle in RESISTANCE 2, and thats it, they sell.

Stop trying to make them trailers

sony cannot just show footage. That is what MS does, if they follow that kind of trend they will not only be beaten by a larger game base, but the audience might actually become confused and attribute game footage to the console that has explosive action footage ALL THE TIME.

people could forget what games belong on which system.

At least in this commercial they are distinctly different from the others. They separated themselves from the pack and have a better chance of people remembering who they are, aside form other factors.
