I was just getting ready to post this.

Makes me think that if I buy a PS3, I will become a zombie.

Yeah, I don't get it. It's like they think it's opposite year when it comes to advertising...

That was just plain weird. I don't get what they were trying to say there. I think thats what is pissing me off about this ad. I can't figure out the point or message or any sort of reasoning.

That doesn't make me want to get a ps3, in fact, when I first saw the beginning, I thought it was for the wii or xbox 360 on an effort to bring it down.

Actually, now that I think about it, it's an extremely successful commercial. It has us all talking about it and talking about the PS3. Doesn't matter what we're saying or that we didn't like the commercial, we've all now got the PS3 on our minds. Mission accomplished.

That was freaky and to be honest I just don't get sony's marketing ploy whether its the ps3 or the psp - but then I'm not the market segment they're after (40+ people)

So is the point of this ad to say that you're going to have to sell your soul if you want one this year?
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Thats not really successful then, is it? Yeah we're talking about it but if anything its had a negative impact. Its not an issue of getting the product in our faces but that this particular ad has made it less favorable.

Uh. That was pointless.

The only thing about that commercial that made me raise an eyebrow was the end: what is 1117 supposed to mean?

I agree... that was the weirdest freakin' commercial I've seen in a while. Haven't a clue what the doll had to do with anything.

Re: 1117. Is it being released on the 17th of November?

I hereby submit this as evidence of bad spellism.
