Christ, this is so childish.

Spoiler

PEW PEW PEW

Hilarious but the pose of that guy playing looks both stupid and uncomfortable.

 

[Majine]

And now we wait for the official Natal thread.

Don't worry, normal people can still sit down.

KB's imitation of the boxing was so great that it almost took me a whole minute before I noticed how much the guy in the background is beating the other character in the game. The details in these commercials are one of the best things about them, like the Tretton photos, the 3D glasses or the Kratos slurpee in the God of war 3 ad.

Kevin Butler for PRESIDENT!! :lol

Hope so. Console fanboys act like wrestling fans anyway, so it would be nice to have the companies joke around with each other.

I dig the Bad Company 2 knocks against MW2 as well.

 

[Rad-]

That was pretty good actually. Expect these gifs to make return in November. Used by who, that will be seen then. :lol

 

[Metalmurphy]

Kevin Butler ads used to be funny

 

[Violater]

So we are looking at the same shitty game footage in the future?

I love these uber-company cat fights... When billionaires fight billionaires, everyone wins :lol

Well this isn't really an ad. But it is funny.

QFT!

 

[Grampa Simpson]

This is pure gold. Absolutely fabulous.

 

[so1337]

Fun ad.

I wonder if Sony should really mock the Wii Remote though...considering, you know...

 

[slider]

If Mr Butler (Kev to me) ever puts a foot wrong (that I notice) I'll be upset.

 

[Stike]

From the other thread:

The grenade lobbing was possibly executed with a second wand instead of the subcontroller?

Examine the still frame I snapped here:

Dual Wand Shooter confirmed?

 

[Jtrizzy]

"buttons...which turn out to be important to the handful of millions of people who enjoy shooters" etc:lol

also it was slightly too long, should have ended it with the pew pew pew.

 

[Slayer-33]

A reply I never expected during the disturbing crying doll days. U-turn if I've ever seen one.

I still don't want a PS3 if that's what you are trying to imply :lol but I recognize when shit is properly done. :lol


They should have hands down gone with this sort of marketing at launch, $599 USD or not. You had to show that you are the industry leader that is witty and says what he wants while at the same time ridiculing your competition with sarcastic humor.

This sort of marketing works.


Brilliant shit

 

[GeoramA]

Sony has taken me back to the 90's with this ad campaign.

So fucking brilliant!

Voted!

 

[Iknos]

Seem too worried about Natal. Not worried enough about taking market share from Nintendo.

Doesn't show people how this is any better than the Wii. People are going to think this is a copycat idea.

It's the sub controller, you can tell when he's holding it in front of him.

 

[DukeSucks]

lol, the kid in the back giving the beatdown is my favorite part

 

[Chris R]

These are all good, but to the ending needed to be him picking up a muffin and jamming a straw into it :lol

They already do, like in that 100+ pages thread of the announcement.

Freaking violent! He should be painted red like Kratos.

 

[Goldrusher]

Brilliant!

 

[Hussaro]

They need to play that during some big sporting events.

Just :lol

 

[iceatcs]

Wow that's funny.

I hope it isn't one off. I would like to see more like series.

 

[anonymousAversa]

I thought he was going to do something with the OJ and muffins too, but why that?? lol

 

[Diortem7]

Wow, this is kind of risky. If Move fails Sony's going to look like an ass.

 

[SolidSnakex]

KB also mentioned on his Twitter that Destination Playstation is going on right now. There might be some news coming out soon.

 

[thcsquad]

Who IS Kevin Butler? Is he a Sony employee? Did they just find him one day and decide he's really funny? Does he work for a marketing agency?

Do you mean the actor? It's Jerry Lambert ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lambert_(actor) ). If you mean the story of the 'Kevin Butler' character, I think we can only speculate on the origin of his awesomeness.

 

[Haunted]

wow @ potshots :lol

keep em coming!

Is that a demoscene category?
Great video. though it doesn't really show how it's different than Wii.

 

[-PXG-]

The Jack Trentton photos aren't new. I think they're in every commercial. Still funny though :lol

 

[Fox Mulder]

I thought he was going to do something with the OJ and muffins too, but why that?? lol

because people drink their food through straws in the future.

Well, they already announced the MGS PSP bundle.

 

[Man]

Hilarious. :lol

 

[commish]

Someone in the biz told me that it's a lot more accurate than the wii thingamajig and that, after 15 minutes, "is like using a mouse." I still have no interest...

 

[deepbrown]

Wow, this is kind of risky. If Move fails Sony's going to look like an ass.

Really? It's comedy not a serious commercial. Who cares if they "win or lose" - they win with this ad. :lol

 

[Gino]

I love these uber-company cat fights... When billionaires fight billionaires, everyone wins :lol

It's not a cat fight when only one side is fighting. Nintendo continues to shrug off everything Sony throws at them and I haven't seem Microsoft comment on the move at all.

This is throwing stones from glass houses in my opinion. Making fun of using your hand as a gun like it's any worse than pretending a dildo with a glowing ping pong ball is better.

Spot on.

Folk on forums fixating. Here and now it raised a chuckle. I'd imagine it's all about reception. Not the post-mortem and how the history books will view * advertising campaign. Not that anyone was saying that of course.
