The last three are a sign that 11/11 is the release date for the PS3 in Japan. Oh and Afrika looks good as hell.

Whatcha think?




All thanks goes to 'one' at B3D
 
Sony have really done an awful job with the design of the everything involving fonts when it comes to PS3 imo. And I can't say I am a big fan of the black + red.

HAHAHHAHAHAHHHA! So they show people all excited, then show a shitty screen of Africa, and that's ment to NOT be comedy?!??!

It's almost like Sony is just joking with the whole PS3. On launch day in Japan they will come clean and proclaim it to be a joke to sell more PS2s. The real PS3 is still 2-3 years away and will cost $299, one SKU.

Believe.

To keep you from buying the competition and hold out until they have stock.
Sure Sony needs that...

But I think they should have promoted other things about PS3 than the 11/11 or 11/17 in their ads.

Like showing the games, blu-ray movies on a xbr3 bravia...in the ads, rather than 4 chimneys marking 11/11, a day where most people won't get one.

In this ads they didn't show anything but Afrika in one of them and the release date on all four.

imo of course, each one showing a game (Ridge Racer 7, Gundam, Resistence and Genji...since they are 4 important launch titles) plus when they show the console, show the 11/11....don't just do weird ads trying to put 11/11 in their minds, specially when you won't have supply to meet demand.

Maybe that's why they aren't showing games, because they know they won't have supply.
 
Very nice ads. Remind me of, I think Verizon, ads where the objects in nature would happen to be arranged like the signal strength indicator on the cellphone.

These aren't terrible ads, but Nintendo is definitely winning the "pre-launch" ad war in Japan so far.

They ought to focus on the fact that the console is coming out and here's what's special about it and here's the games, instead of 11/11. At least the ad with Afrika shows off some of the graphics (I do like that ad a lot).

It'd be different if they had more than 100k units for launch. Sony are marketing this like they have a million units to sell on launch day, and they don't.
