The PS3: It Does What Now?

Along with a smaller, sleeker form factor and a new price of $299.99, Sony is about to turn its recent efforts to rejuvenate the PS3 into a full-on Oh-Nine relaunch with a new TV advertising campaign. The company's main marketing man Peter Dille just took the wraps off the new series over on the official PlayStation Blog, and here's the first installment.

The dude sort of sounds like Jonah Hill.

You still can't hack it. D:

The Internet? Nigeria!?
 
Gah, these are great ads.

That was actually kind of funny.
 
Hm? Im sorry, you said something?
 
Ahh old people make me laugh.
 
And how do you get a job as the Director of rumor confirmation?

lolz this is dumb

lol that's kinda funny. 

it does everything.... Except play mother effin PS2 games GODDAMN!!!

This price drop and new model pushed me over the edge completely. I was on the fence on whether to buy one for a couple of months praying for the rumors to be true. 
Can't wait for my PS3 Slim to arrive...

Hehe, sweet ad. Still don't like the new PS3 though

lol That's a great commercial.

" it does everything.... Except play mother effin PS2 games GODDAMN!!! "

now I wanna buy one :(

I think I like the second one better.

It's a PS3. If you want to play PS2 games, buy a PS2. 
 
So long as the PS2 is still on the market, there's no real reason for Sony to bother with BC.

lol nice

It looks like her boyfriend still hasn't put his pants on either.

Its a good commercial, I think it might grab some people's interest.

" @wordsgohere:  apart from the claim that "Every ps3 comes the entire library of ps2 games" that kaz made at the ps3 launch. "

I think the only thing that really draws me in is Nostalgia for my PSX and PS2. Especially the newly-filtered but retro "PlayStation" at the end. That and the PS logo in the bottom right makes me feel like I can have my old PlayStation back in full glory.
Still: Their starting price is unforgivable, all the extra features that jack up the price don't interest me (ie Blu Ray), and it won't ever be my PSX or PS2.
 
I already have a Wii, and I already have a 360. On top of that I don't play games as much as I used to, when they give PS3s away I'll pick one up if backwards compatibility is solved, until then it's just a mini-fridge with a fake banana in it.

I like the second one better but they're both brilliant.
 
Awesome to see Sony push this thing.

Do they have a ways to go with the exclusive games lineup? I personally feel that their 09 lineup can't be matched, and they have some pretty strong guns saved up for 2010.

Yeah I dig it.  I think I will go ahead and pick one up. 

" @wordsgohere: yes it does, it means they are bullshitting and are holding back on software emulation just to make a quick buck. "

Maybe I'll buy one.
 
Damnit I say that about every console.

Love these ads, they are really good ^^

I do want one now since it's cheap but still gonna wait...

That was amusing.
 
I want to pick up a PS3, but damnit, a Canon EOS 450D looks damn hot in my eyes. I cannot choose between my two biggest hobbies.

I'm sorry, I didn't catch that, I was too busy playing GTA III on my launch-era 60 GB PS3 to notice.

I know. The XBOX 360 has great stuff coming too but I still don't understand this "no exclusive games" sentiment. I really don't. "

I don't have $300 burning a hole in my pocket, sadly.
 
Good commercial though.

The ad was pretty funny. I'm going to be getting a PS3 slim come X-mas. 

i already have a ps3 and enjoy it a lot, i hope that some of my friends who only have an xbox will give the ps3 a shot. (i am not a sony fanboy i own all three next gen consoles) (if the wii counts as next gen)
THE WII IS STUPID

I ordered a slim on Amazon. 
Should arrive any day now.

"Otherwise I'd be a Nigerian millionare by now"
lul!!1! How clevar!!!1

I just want Netflix and Playon.   I already have an xbox that will do that and I won't buy blu-ray.  So I guess its going to have to be big titles to make me leap, which I don't see happening :( 
 
I actually like the Ps3 too, I'm just too pot commited with the 360 now that I can't justify the expense.

Amazing ad, Sony really does need a good marketing push for the PS3, I just REALLY hope that they do that style of commercials here in Europe instead of that bizzare "This is Living" shit
