Yep on both counts. I get why people want ads with gameplay in, but if they are going to omit it, this is the very best thing they can do instead.
Especially if they are trying to hark back to the PS2 era.

I hate it when Sony does this big melee of gaming imagery, thinking that the sheer quantity of it all will bubble up into some great consumer frenzy. They did it with the Vita ads here, where there was some really strange mixed messages including World War Two battle scenes, and adventuring, and then some football just thrown in.
It's like making a meal with every ingredient you own because more stuff equals better taste. Sometimes the simpler ideas are better, unless you're going to have a baby crying again.

New update folks. Sony has officially trademarked the term "Greatness Awaits"

I think it sounds lame, to be honest.
But then again, I liked the crying baby ad so what the fuck do I know?

Coming 2013? Confirms EU Launch then no?
That was immediately what jumped at me.
Well, not confirmed necessarily, but advertising that in a European country specifically... might be new thread worthy?
already? interesting, I guess they might do a TV ad in UEFA Champions League final then.
OH SHIT! 2013 EUROPE LAUNCH!? GET HYPE YOU LIMEYS!

I don't think Sony will let xbone get the upper hand.
Look at that. A next gen console focusing on people who play video games.

Sony has a knack for really bad slogans that seem like they come from the 80's or something.
I mean if you told me that slogan out of the blue I'd just know it was from Sony.

Remember reading this thread thinking it probably wasn't going to good. But they surpassed all my expectations. The feels I cannot describe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOdW1OuZ1U0

It's too bad that thing went south for them. The Kevin Butler angle is some of the best advertising Sony's ever had and I think it's something they could have just kept doing forever.
This "Greatness Awaits" campaign looks like a sony ad, alright. It's... okay, I guess. But they could do so much better.
