Oh the spoofs to come.

Aeon712 · (10-15-2006, 09:53 PM)

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

M3wThr33 · (10-15-2006, 09:54 PM)

Is that a gamecube picture on the door?

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

Doc Holliday · (10-15-2006, 09:54 PM)

wheres that song from?

Mason · (10-15-2006, 09:57 PM)

Is that Sigur Ros? Where have I heard that?

Y2Kev · (10-15-2006, 09:58 PM)

Something about standing on rooftops that makes me think Nocturne.

Awesome ad.

Surreal · (10-15-2006, 09:59 PM)

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

Uncle · (10-15-2006, 10:01 PM)

Reminds me of the rooftop scene in Independece Day.

DreamMachine · (10-15-2006, 10:02 PM)

it's awesome in the theatre..

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

Kroole · (10-15-2006, 10:02 PM)

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 · (10-15-2006, 10:15 PM)

That was great. I felt good watching it.

JonathanEx · (10-15-2006, 10:19 PM)

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

Rody · (10-15-2006, 10:23 PM)

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

Elios83 · (10-15-2006, 10:24 PM)

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

Bad_Boy · (10-15-2006, 10:26 PM)

cool ad, very soothing for some reason. O_o

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

RiZ III · (10-15-2006, 10:27 PM)

wow that was an awsome commercial.

btrboyev · (10-15-2006, 10:27 PM)

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

mckmas8808 · (10-15-2006, 10:28 PM)

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

The ad was great.

f_elz · (10-15-2006, 10:29 PM)

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

temjin · (10-15-2006, 10:30 PM)

Sony have an awesome advertising team.

Deku · (10-15-2006, 10:30 PM)

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.

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

Zombie James · (10-15-2006, 10:34 PM)

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

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

Maridia · (10-15-2006, 10:35 PM)

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 · (10-15-2006, 10:37 PM)

yep. 'jump in' was better than this

patrickthehedgehog · (10-15-2006, 10:41 PM)

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

Speevy · (10-15-2006, 10:47 PM)

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

Doom_Bringer · (10-15-2006, 10:47 PM)

OMG SPIDERMAN 4 ON NOV 17!!!

Zombie James · (10-15-2006, 10:48 PM)

Sweet, thanks.

Maxwell House · (10-15-2006, 10:49 PM)

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

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

Aisenherz · (10-15-2006, 10:50 PM)

maybe in your dreams

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

BIG BUBBA · (10-15-2006, 10:51 PM)

Looks like the kid from the Rayman Wii promo ads

"The wait is over" "Playstation 3"

yeahh... spiderman...something something

DMczaf · (10-15-2006, 10:52 PM)

Nice Spider-Man 3 commercial.

WalkMan · (10-15-2006, 10:52 PM)

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

Wollan · (10-15-2006, 10:53 PM)

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 · (10-15-2006, 10:54 PM)

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

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

EphemeralDream · (10-15-2006, 10:55 PM)

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 · (10-15-2006, 10:59 PM)

spiderman 3 is coming?

DMczaf · (10-15-2006, 11:02 PM)

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

Duderz · (10-15-2006, 11:04 PM)

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 · (10-15-2006, 11:06 PM)

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

Branduil · (10-15-2006, 11:07 PM)

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 · (10-15-2006, 11:09 PM)

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

Reilly · (10-15-2006, 11:10 PM)
