Video Games New PlayStation ad campaign breaks tomorrow...

**TinyEvel** · 04-06-2009, 10:32 PM

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.

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

It's EXTREME.

Like Mountain Dew.

TinyEvel, do you like that new PC ad in the documentary style? Do you think it's any good?

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.

All they have to do is lower their ridiculous prices.

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.

I assume it's like normal hell, but more EXTREME.

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 reeruned 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.

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 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??!!)
