health insurance is only 720p

This health insurance? Try 480p.

 

[WolvenOne]

.....oiy

Funny, but oiy. XD

 

[rdrr gnr]

Goddamn. That marketing campaign sure is working.

 

[F-Pina]

This is excelent news for Sony. Obama used the word "PlayStation" as in refering generally to videogames which means that the brand got really a good grip into general culture. I wonder if next time some of his advisers will tell him to be carefull and refer to videogames more generally or try to balance out things by saying "Xbox"?

If this was the 90's would the president have used as an example " like a Sega" or "like a Nintendo"?

 

[Rootbeer]

Obama endorses Playstation. I love it.

Wait, or does Sony have their own lobbyists who arranged this?

 

[Spinluck]

Dat Sony moneyhat.

pre 95 nintendo, playstation after then

 

[airmangataosenai]

Are there still people on GAF convinced that the general public isn't even aware that new systems come out next month?

 

[Deband]

That brightened up my morning.

 

[koutoru]

Not surprised, apparently Obama and PlayStation have an ongoing thing for awhile.

 

[fizzgigg]

Hype train

 

[Doomshroom]

Someone make a gif off him saying the PS4 will sell out and then cut to the woman fainting part.

Top Conservatives on Twitter Outraged at President's Pop Culture References, Vow to Purchase Xbox One

 

[kvk1]

Outstanding.

 

[killer rin]

Nothing to see here. Obama already name dropped Xbox a few weeks back.

Ewwwww the salt...

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Obama got the NPD sales reports already in

PlayStation Europe just tweeted about this: https://twitter.com/PlayStationEU/status/392950605573922817

And Shu retweeted this:

Obama has mentioned Xbox at least a couple of times before this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0qeq3BISWHw#t=12

So I'm guessing he's switched to PS4.

 

[Acquiescence]

Kaz got friends in high places. The prez is a big fan of his gifs I'd wager.

 

[keuja]

Confirmed what we all secretly suspected!
Playstation owners tend to be democrats and XBOX owners Republicans!

Obama's people are current with tech news it seem hah. I would distance myself from Xbox too, especially if that NSA + Kinect rumor stuff would have taken off.

 

[Binabik15]

I think he wants to create awareness for PS4. That will result in higher demand. With higher demand, he can raise the price on all the PS4s he reserved internationally for scalping purposes, getting him more money to fix your broke ass country. And a Porsche for himself of course. Anybody complaining about scalping will get a visit from the CIA or the military, depending on your location.

That's some Iluminati shit right there.

 

[Birathen]

Xbox One is going to sell out too. Not sure why Obama forgot to mention that.

Xbone allready sold out.

Spoiler

To the NSA

 

[ЯAW]

In these dire times, Obama is promoting forgein product over domestic? Class act.

He want families to save $100. /s

It's American product, you pay little extra, but it's for quality. Maybe this kind of sell out is ok in Kenya but not in the USA!

 

[Diablo Rosso]

This has to be a joke surely? They're both made in China.

Somewhere a bridge is being left undefended.

Just joking. Let's resume posting awesome Kaz gifs.

 

[TheRealTalker]

It is funny since at the beginning of the government shutdown he was talking about the success of the latest Xbox.... How times have changed

 

[JoeBoy101]

I guess since this implies Obama's endorsement, that will mean PSN will be done for a couple of months at launch.

 

[betterman]

You don't want the President acknowledging the XBox after all the recent NSA stuff.

of course.

 

[Eggbok]

Obama knows it will sell out?
illuminati.

 

[Hexa]

Dayum. Sony wasn't kidding when they said they would go all out on advertising.

 

[thiscoldblack]

I chuckled. Point taken, Mr. President.

Oh wow

 

[Love Deterrence]

Microsoft: Thanks, Obama!

 

[ab.aeterno]

There's a joke in here somewhere about the president liking all the extra power.

 

[Ceadeus]

It's free here in Canada Québec.

 

[hohoXD123]

Sony's biggest advertising campaign. Didn't think it would be so big as to include the fricking president.

 

[Senor Kami]

I wonder if Repubs and Conservs will go out and buy like 3 X1 just to spite something that Obama said.

 

[thehillissilent]

A foreign born Pres hyping a foreign made system. Shocking.

Dude, he was born in Hawaii (http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/04/27/president-obamas-long-form-birth-certificate).

 

[robertsan21]

Xbox One is going to sell out too. Not sure why Obama forgot to mention that.

I think its great that he didnt mention xboned, cause we dont want it to sell out, it has to flop cause this will be the only way that companies will understand that WE CONSUMERS are not going to accept being screwed over.

 

[Usobuko]

This is really hilarious, top comment on Youtube delivers.

 

[Nyoro SF]

PS4 now officially endorsed by the US government.

 

[Little Old Man]

No surprise about Obama switching to the PS4. The NSA probbably told him about COD and Titanfall running at 720p on XB1.

 

[BloodMoney]

thanks for the laugh.

 

[Neuromancer]

Obama: I'll give you $1,200 if you find a PS4 on shelves

Good callback. Oh man those were the days.

 

[flkraven]

lol @ people complaining that Obama didn't mention Xbox One. He is not part of these 'console warz'.

 

[Muzy72]

I always knew he wasn't born in America, that's he won't promote American made products like Xbox.
