I guess it's nice and all, but I just want to see in-game footage. D;

We'd show you what our product is... but we'd like to smurf with you.

The commercial moved me. I'm now buying three.

How wonderfully pretentious. Someone obviously graduated from film school with high aspirations.

actually, dating back to the first ps2 ads, they have always been that bizzare.

I like the ad.

The first PSP ads were all about people rockin' out and playing games--sometimes both at the same time! What we have here is comparatively dull material.

I thought it was a good choice of song, im surprised sony would acknowledge someone like Brian Eno.

uhhhh what makes no sense, they would have to shorten it first of all though most commercials do get cut.

What is it with Playstation and it's messed up advertisements? As if the PSP commercials were bad enough.

Seriously, the commercials are like cheese you can listen to...outside.

Huh. I liked it, personally. But the fact that there wasn't much in-game footage was disappointing.

That commerical was retardedly gay.

Lets take a close look at what this commerical is really saying.

Kids are so damn bored that they have nothing better to do that skip school for the next month and wait for the PS3. That is what it is all about. Kids getting up...putting on the cloths and backpack and going...smurf SCHOOL! I gotta wait on the roof for t-eh PENIS3!!!1 I think we should sue Sony for corrupting our youth.

Remember that PS2 ad about how they were gonna make a PS9? Man, this was less informative, but at least they gave you the date.

Yeah, pretty much the only thing going for the PS3 is FFXIII will be on it. At E3, when they actually showed game footage, it sucked. Nintendo was like, "Look, our controller doesn't suck, and our games are fun!" and Sony's like, "um sports gaems lol"

Oh, right, I never got on that band wagon so I didn't notice. I might one day since everyone seems to like that franchise.

Has anyone seen a Nintendo trailer? what do they do? do they actually show their games?

I kinda liked it, but I do think that there could have been much more that actually had something to do with the PlayStation 3 besides the big "3" shadow at the end. I've seen commercials worse than this one.
