I don't think anyone here has ever denied that Sony's marketing machine isn't the best in the business...

It's a good thing they know where to concentrate their efforts.

Cosign.......those were three amazing commercials

It's not what we think, but what the general public thinks... Sounds pretty convincing IMHO.

MS should make one and throw EVERYTHING they just said back in their face.

Heh, its funny to here you people complain that a company is saying thier product is the best, MS does it in every press release every company in the world (who aren't dumbshits) do. And Sonys marketing machine is awesome, when they do commercials trailers or ads its always topnotch. That some sony bosses are super stupid is a whole another story.

In all honestly how can anyone see those commercials as amazing? Not unless your amped up and excited about the PS3 launch to start with.
Herbal Essences (womans shampoo) have more exciting and more to the point adverts than those.

compare any of the Xbox 360 ads ( http://www.majornels...ox-360-Ads.aspx )

plus show it to some non-techno people, see what they think is better.

come'on

Yea I thought that was funny...

The commercials would've been better if they left out the gameplay. Resistance is not exactly the best graphics ever (I have nothing against the game, I was just never impressed by the graphics). If they left everything to imagination and kept all that over-the-top commentary it would pique my curiosity a lot more make me wanna buy it.

A little off topic.....but has anyone seen the GOW commercials? Those are also some amazing commercials

Ok I finally get time to post back on these forums.

Does the PS3 even support 50GB Blu-Ray disks, I'm sure I read they only just came out. And when the compare to HD-DVD (it's 15GB the normal disks right) I thought they were realising a 35GB version.

And back to the Cell, there's a difference between SPE's and Cores. I'm not Cell guru but if you run Linux on Cell I remember reading Linux wouldn't see them as 8 actual SPE's, only "extensions" were as the X360 does truly have a 3 core CPU (kinda like your Dual Core AMD/Intel CPU's).

I watched the videos this morning before uni and I just swam my usual 60 lengths a week so I'm a little tired, but I'm all for PS3, but when marketing is bullshit scum like that it just annoys me. Oh and did I mention that I think it's illegal in the UK to compare against your competitor in advertisement in the same industry? Well I think they changed that law recently.

I'm only typing from memory, I may be talking like Sony

It is true that people just see what they wanna see. I just watched those three commercials again and not once are they comparing or saying anything about microsoft or the xbox360. And here keep in mind that hd-dvd belongs to toshiba no one else MS has nothing to do with HDDVD. And If you also listen to what they say in the commercial they talk about game content. Sony is the only console to use a HD storage medium for games. But my hearing might also be faulty.
I'd thought you would all approve of them using actuall gameplay, guess not.
These commercials are very nice though, I wonder if the realistic games trailer is made by the same guy that did the bravia one.

MS should give Spike Jonze a job, that would be a sweet sweet ad. SJ with unlimited resources

Well i wasn't speaking from a game fan/ fan boy point of view. It was just constructive criticism from a marketing point of view. Its obvious by "exagerating" the ps3 features it would grab everyones attention. That they did effectively, but by putting that footage at the end they have done a disservice to themselves. The comments now seem hard to believe. They hyped it up and then killed the hype. Im just saying if ur gonna lie, do it effectively.

Marketing is all about lying as far as im concerned so im not gonna hold it against them
