creepy man....just saw this on TV.

I saw that a while ago. I thought it was kinda funny. In terms of commercials, Gears of War makes me sad:cry: That guy was being super cool dodging and running, then the big spider thing comes out of the dark like a wanna be ninja. i wouldve owned the spider's ass. Wouldve like stuck a grenade in his eyes or something coo,l like that
wow, thinking of the wrong video.
It's creepy. And I fail to see how it'll sell systems.
*sigh* That's... that's even dumber than the last PS3 ad.
EDIT: Gears of War? Mad World? What?
Im a bit shocked that they adverstised Gears of War and that microsoft even had the brawn to do it. Since it could fall within ESRB guidelines, but the violence prolly wasnt.
As for the commercial, its spawning a generation of chuckies! Quick! Buy a wii, save a homicidal doll! :P
I posted at the ENTIRELY WRONG FORUM with my original post, hence why I edited it. xD
Obviously, a shooter set in a generic post-apocalyptic cityscape rendered entirely in dull browns and grays, whose protagonist is another generic square-jawed space marine, is certain to appeal to the arty Donnie Darko crowd.
Big burly men with even larger guns is what the general public seems to go for nowadays.
Of course it is. What I am saying is that it is incongruous with the pervading music chosen.

Mad World is the song
This has been established due to my ineptitude.
How about we get back to the original topic? What kind of advetising does Sony think its doing? I dont think creepin people out is going to sell much, and even if they are going with a surreal twist ad, it doesnt work too well. For instance, what is with the tears and images, and then the retreating tears? The entire thing to me is daffy and creepy.
Looks like a pretty low budget for a gaming console that costs $600. And I don't see how it'll make people buy the thing.
Of course, I'm buying it anyway.
They've used up all their money on the console, so they can't afford good commercials :p.
On a side note, the Gears of War ad was kinda neat. Also, I don't think that song was made for Donnie Darko, they just happened to use it.
