PS3 TV Commercials

All right, so you all know I'm the Sony "Fanboy", if you will, but I just have to say those weird spacey commercials I keep seeing aren't going to sell any more PS3s. They're fucking weird, and more importantly they don't tell us how much the PS3 pwns other systems. What, do you want people thinking the PS3 makes rubix cubes explode? Or spawns evil babies?
According to the interweb you want to steal everything from Nintendo, but why didn't you steal their commercial format? Hell, this is almost as bad as if you had called PS3 the Pii.
I've had some good times defending your honor Sony, I felt like I had to for all those thousands of hours of entertainment you gave me, but I can't keep defending you if you're just going to be retards.

I think their plan for those commercials was for people to talk about them at the water cooler.
"Hey did you see that really strange commercial?"
"Oh yeah that Playstation ad"
"I don't know what it does, but I'm going to buy one"
"Me too"

Reminds me of TLC's Life Lessons commercials. What the heck are they ? Trinkets you can buy or the name of some program thats going to air.

I think there OK. But I have to say they have done one of the smartest ad idea's. The ding noise at the begining of every Playstation commercial is genius. I remember being in the other room and hearing that ding and running into the room to watch the commercial. I must say that scared me a little

Microsoft is doing the same thing with Windows Vista. Now whenever you boot, there is an un-disableable noise that tells you when your computer has booted. Not when you log in, but when it has booted up. Same concept I think.

With Sony's current financial situation, plus the fact they are losing money for every PS3 sold at this point, perhaps they wanted to wait until they start making profit before they bother paying someone to make their commercials.

What's Sony's financial situation? I can't imagine they've got anything to worry about. Companies always lose money on consoles when they first come out.
And they have to have commercials, that's important. But they shouldn't have such wacked ones.

Sony has been losing a lot of money across the board. The battery recall hurt them a lot as well. Since April (I think) Sony stock has fallen 25%. No they are losing money on PS3's so they don't have the PS cash cow. If Blu Ray fails which history is against Sony I think they will sell off the Playstation brand. I don't think this will happen any time soon though.

I will have to look up these ads on YouTube.com if I want to relate, since the PS3 doesn't even come out until next year here, and there are no pre-PS3 ads. We still get PS2 ads Vs. 360 & Wii ads. The Wii came out just a few days ago here, a great move as it'll sell well this Xmas.

This
Is OK... I wouldn't buy a PS3 because of it. But the nice thing is it dose tell me that the much cheaper HDDVD has 30gig. A BluRay fanboy was telling everyone at work, oh HDDVD isn't any bigger than a normal DVD. So thank you Sony, I can now shut him up
But then I watch
With the same boring dull voice.... and now I think they aren't OK. They are REALLY boring. I agree with him when he says "not very exciting is it"
I can't be bothered looking up any more now, because it's only midday, and I don't feel like a nap.... is the PS3 smarter than you? Oh yes, people want to hear that their video game console is smarter than them. Leon is right. These ads may even do more harm than good.
