Pretty cool

brandonh83 · Oct 15, 2006

:lol :lol :lol

Oh the spoofs to come.

Aeon712 · Oct 15, 2006

Like every PS3 ad/banner I'm gonna need this one explained to me. Why can't they just use the dust balls

.

M3wThr33 · Oct 15, 2006

Is that a gamecube picture on the door?

Also, 3 is huge, LOL! And Spider-Man 3 launch date?

Doc Holliday · Oct 15, 2006

wheres that song from?

Mason · Oct 15, 2006

Is that Sigur Ros? Where have I heard that?

Y2Kev · Oct 15, 2006

Something about standing on rooftops that makes me think Nocturne.

Awesome ad.

Surreal · Oct 15, 2006

Cool commercial, can't wait to see the rest. Sony's advertising is always interesting.

Uncle · Oct 15, 2006

Reminds me of the rooftop scene in Independece Day.

DreamMachine · Oct 15, 2006

saw, this ad in the theatre before the departed..

it's awesome in the theatre..

thought it was a movie ad for spider man 3 at first lmao.. j/k

Kroole · Oct 15, 2006

So I guess PS3 is for... suicidal kids?

Nah.. Quite a nice ad. Calm before the storm.

28 days later, I think. Kinda creepy hearing it in the theater.

Wollan · Oct 15, 2006

That was great. I felt good watching it.

JonathanEx · Oct 15, 2006

I love the artistic metaphor of the perception of the fact the philosophical meaning behind this piece means that it was utter bollocks.

Rody · Oct 15, 2006

Awesome. The "3" formed by the shadows of the clouds... Brilliant.

Elios83 · Oct 15, 2006

Cool ad but for us european the wait isn't over ^^''

Bad_Boy · Oct 15, 2006

cool ad, very soothing for some reason.

Take a ride on the PS3 Hale Bopp comet with us.

RiZ III · Oct 15, 2006

wow that was an awsome commercial.

btrboyev · Oct 15, 2006

shitty ad (is sony gearing this for kids?) but the music was nice.

mckmas8808 · Oct 15, 2006

Great ad. I felt calm watching it. Peaceful even.

The ad was great.

fse · Oct 15, 2006

bleh, i couldn't tell what they were trying to sell in the ad.
Many would not know its the ps3.

temjin · Oct 15, 2006

Sony have an awesome advertising team.

Deku · Oct 15, 2006

It's a feel good ad and it serves its purpose.

Except for that 9 year old, the wait very likely won't be over come this november. lol.

btrboyev · Oct 15, 2006

The ad was great.

actually no it wasn't..at least show some sort of product. The only great about it was the music.

Zombie James · Oct 15, 2006

I really liked it, the background music was really nice.

Illuminati · Oct 15, 2006

Uncle said:

Now I remember what it reminds me of. The comet approaching the planet in FF7, the music sort of sounds like that too.

Maridia · Oct 15, 2006

Wow, domination of post-rock loving nine-year-old demographic confirmed. Brilliant. Reminds me of the way they locked down dustball fetishists with the PSP. Anyone have time to do a parody? I'll save you the conceptual stage. Kid looking at sky.

THE WAIT IS OVER

11/17/06

PLAYSTATION 3

*cut back to skygazing third-grader. it starts raining*

$600 US DOLLARS

*kid cries*

The Faceless Master · Oct 15, 2006

yep. 'jump in' was better than this

patrickthehedgehog · Oct 15, 2006

that song is "An Ending (Ascent) by Brian Eno from Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks

Speevy · Oct 15, 2006

I just prefer ads that show the games. Maybe I'm crazy.

Doom_Bringer · Oct 15, 2006

OMG SPIDERMAN 4 ON NOV 17!!!

Sweet, thanks.

Maxwell House · Oct 15, 2006

Way too many people are going to think Spiderman 3 comes out 11-17-06.

Also, why do the kids have red backpacks on???

maybe in your dreams

Yeah, awesome ad. I like it. Show me some more

BIG BUBBA · Oct 15, 2006

Looks like the kid from the Rayman Wii promo ads

"The wait is over" "Playstation 3"

yeahh... spiderman...something something

DMczaf · Oct 15, 2006

Nice Spider-Man 3 commercial.

WalkMan · Oct 15, 2006

Awesome ad. I can only imagine how it was shown in the theatre, but really needs more mention of an actual Playstation 3.

Wollan · Oct 15, 2006

Maxwell House said:

It's the theme color for PS3. Black and Red.

Edit: I'm amazed on how much people are taking this Spiderman font out of proportions.

alterego · Oct 15, 2006

Very cool ad. There's a sense of something grand approaching.

Anyone else notice the time on the wall clock - almost 3.

EphemeralDream · Oct 15, 2006

I thought it was a cool ad but the look is really misleading.

You could easily replace the end text with:
11.17.06
War is coming

I don't mean console wars but a real war. Add in zeppelin-like imagery flying overhead, bleak gray landscape and it's a rather grim and odd ad.

polg · Oct 15, 2006

spiderman 3 is coming?

DMczaf · Oct 16, 2006

Wollan said:

Which is also the theme color of Spider-Man 3!

Duderz · Oct 16, 2006

Pretty cool ad. I like all the subtle 3's it gives, but I can see people definitely thinking this would be a Spider-Man ad or something. It is way too ambiguous, and shows nothing of the product at all. More of a teaser than anything else.

Nice music, too.

Karma Kramer · Oct 16, 2006

Someone should change the title to this thread to "Spiderman 3 ad," and see how many people fall for it.

Branduil · Oct 16, 2006

I hate these commercials that don't show anything of the product. It was cool one time, when Apple did it in the 1984 commercial. It's not cool anymore.

TobitheCat · Oct 16, 2006

I hope that kid has $600+ in his backpack.

Reilly · Oct 16, 2006

youtube isn't loading for me
