Meshugger Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I still remember the ad "Welcome to the third place", with film noir camera angles and a talking duck. Nothing new to see here folks, move along now.

metadigital Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 The second one seemed to be invoking the obelisk from 2001: A Space Odessey. Maybe the message is that the PS3 is soooo amazing that it brings inanimate dolls to life?

GreasyDogMeat Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) Sony needs to hire someone other than Maralyn Manson to create their commercials.

Darque Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 What the heck did I just watch? I mean, I know what it's supposed to be (I think) but what the heck was that? I think someone in marketing is smoking something they shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lare Kikkeli Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) Those are great commercials IMO. could be its because ads can be art just the same way as anything else. i really dug the second one. all chris cunningham fans should rejoice, maybe they'll go to the maestro himself next and give him enough funding to do the neuromancer project that was cancelled a few years back.

LoneWolf16 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Cowardly swede. Creeped me out a bit, but....ya sure as hell take notice of it, which is what ads are supposed to do.

thepixiesrock Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Well, really, they are supposed to make you take notice of the product, and generate some interst in that product, and should at least showcase the capabilities of the product. These ads may get your attention, but they don't really so much else.

Hell Kitty Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Ads that seem to have little to do with the products or services on offer are nothing new. in Australia at least, banks seem particularly bad in this regard. I guess they just follow the philosophy of "if it gets noticed, it's done the job", and it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a... uh... Is it coming to kill them? It seems to me to be referring to Independance Day (or any other such movie with long "here come the alien ship" scenes). Invasion of the PS-3, I suppose? Agree the other is a take on 2001. Definitely creepy that 2nd one. Kinda cool artistically/technically, but creepy. “Things are as they are.

The question is how these particular ads deliver anything that sells a PS3, other than mystique. They might make cents, but they don't make sense.
