I saw a pretty good one today. It went on something like this:

"Play on the worlds most powerful console" then they showed motorstorm + other games

" the only console with the ability to play blu ray, the next gen format that brings you superb HD"

then showed some movies

"the choice is easy"

Before it ended with the Ps3 logo

Well I have seen more and more Sony advertising as of late which is good to see.

the problem is how the ad is gonna end?? starting from 399$???? they need a price cut first

They ran this ad during Monday Night Football. Instead of price they focused on versatility. Its about all they can do at this price point.

The never tell you the price of an Iphone in the ad...they just show you how cool it is and all the cool things it can do.  

better late then never. now that they started to make a profit this year off the ps3, i don't see why they shouldn't advertise.

it's a good idea. push the capabilities of the PS3 along with the games. price doesn't have to be discussed.

i don't know for sure, but i doubt the cost of advertising would equal the loss they would incur from a price cut.

I still remember some of the ads for the first PSX, they were incredible.

I think advertising is important because all that I see is basically Microsoft commercials. "Xbox 360 has more than 200 family games including kung fu panda and indiana jones. Both free when u buy an xbox 360." I've seen it soo many times that I practically have it memorized. Although price drop is the most important thing, more advertising is (almost) just as good because they can't let ppl forget about the PS3 and their games (this will be way better for the games).
