Look for it. With the new tag line:

"PS3: Game it to the max in a flaming dragon skull with a nail sticking out on fire in space hell"

We feel this tagline will speak to hardcore gamers in the most appropriate way. :thumb:

(we considered adding "...full of lead" but thought that was overdoing it.)

You mean "I'm a PC?" with people telling their stories/functionality?

The one where the red head girl is given $1000 and she goes into Apple store, says there's nothing to buy except for a 13" laptop and sighs that she's not cool enough to get an Apple. So she goes to Best Buy and finds a PC and is really happy. It's a documentary commercial that Apple is worried will make it cool to like PCs now.

What??!! You people don't want to pay for quality???!!

Does she buy an XBOX arcade as well? (then has to pay for online, has to pay for a wi-fi adapter, has to pay for an external HD....)

If someone is retarded enough to buy an Arcade and then buy a HD afterwards, they deserve what they get. You see, what M$ did, was give people a choice of different packages with the features they might want or not or ones they can possibly afford. To poorer people, Xbox Arcade > nothing.

And with all due respect, the $4 a month XBL subscription > Sony's online.

I agree about their BS wireless adapter policy, though.

I don't know why anyone would game on these consoles wirelessly. Wired is the only way to go.

So then, I bet you still get up from the chair to change the channel on your TV then? (and adjust the rabbit ears??!!)

:DNope, but I do go to the trouble of sending the cables through my walls so they are unseen. You know, I put in the extra effort.:D

Well, for example, I'm living in a 5 bedroom house with 4 other dudes, there are 3 360's between us and they're on different levels of the house (1 in the basement). It's not feasible to connect them all to the router, so 1 just sits disconnected from XBL. :(

Does the new ad campaign feature the high quality work that led to me mailing my PS3 off in a coffin this morning after 10 months of light use?

My XBOX took damn near 3 years and had easily twice the amount of use.

Just sayin'.

I've read the failure rates on the Wii and PS3 are <1%. XBOX 360 may be higher than 30%.

Well, I wasn't gonna say anything, but I had them do that to yours so you will step it up in the CPBL contest. Once BigRadChief starts exercising, it's gonna get tight. :D

Uh, why? It's not more expensive. The 60 gb starter pack is $100. If you buy them separately you actually end up 5 free arcade games, a 3 month live sub, and the free game that comes with the arcade for the same price. If anything you are getting more value by buying them separately.

The arcade is fine for people who don't need a HDD and just want to play games. And they can always upgrade later. The arcade has come a long way from the "tard pack" of old.

I haven't seen that one, but my wife loves the one with the little girl editing and e-mailing a picture of her fish. "I'm a PC and I'm 4!" She'll sometimes stop Tivoing through commercials to watch it.

This isn't 2005. The 360's failure rates are nowhere near that high.

So after tomorrow the PS3 will be affordable and worth its short shelf life before it is replaced by the next console? I honestly hate M$, but $200 for a 360 has me starting to want one... Tint, do you get in promo goods (like a PS3) for free, that I could possibly buy off you cheap.... after all I do vote for your ads, and that puts money in your pocket some how, right?


edit: Oh yeah, can I have a job, or internship or something?

Uh, what?I have to have my router in the same room as my XBOX and PS3 to get any decent online service at all. I just took the extra time to run a wire through my basement and into the wall. Problem solved with minimal work.

That would not be content. That's called Hardware. Content would be Software (Infamous, God of War III etc.)

Sometimes we get early info. in order to market the things, but I do not share info. because I value my client relationship and my income.

Speaking of content, you haven;t weighed in for the Biggest Loser contest. :cuss:

man up.
