Over the last couple years Sony has gotten away from the funnier more customer friendly adds, and have adopted a more shock/remembrance factor to there comercials. Such as the SixaxiS eggs, the Rubix Cube paint grenade, And my favorit the Crying satanic Baby calling out mama. Thanx to a new marketing push they are now going more mainstream and bring back the funny humor adds with there new comercial pitch man Kevin Butler. (PS: i dont think thats his real name.)

Anyways there new comercials are bring out the old school Sony from the PS1 days. Back then they had a guy dressed as Crash Bandicoot Screaming at Sony reps with a microphone. All in all Sony's PR is looking up and the sales don't lie. Do you like Sony's new commercial stratagem

Yep the numbers of adds for both have gone up. Sony to really rally there new product the PS3 slim and Xbox360 to try and sway the opinion of which console is better. Wii I don't think they really care. ( (Wii) ==> lets just sit back and watch the fight.)

Prefer the UK ones where we are told 'the game is just the start' and im pretty sure there was an iplayer ad for it (ie it advertises the fact it has the iplayer in it in order to catch up with TV shows) ciourse that could just be in print

I just like that I am seeing adds period! For a while there, there were next to none.

I did like the original launch ones, they definitely pushed more to the hardcore gamer. These new ones are great though, pretty damn funny imo. But, I dont think they need to get away from the original style to much. It would be best if they found a good balance in there somewhere :)

MeRcEnArY, yeah, and oh so shockingly that ad was pulled. Not really sure what they were thinking when they did that, they had to realize how it would be interpreted.

:lol:

I love 'em. I'm just glad they're moving more consumer friendly.
Now just start selling PS2 games and I'll happily re-buy the Kingdom Hearts games.
