DualShock Nexus: Sony has always had some creative and interesting advertisements, but this latest one may catch you off guard.
(PS3, Sony, Tag Invalid)
Well, it's only strange if you don't know Japanese.
It's just a PS3 slim add that's also promoting Biohazard 6 aka Resident evil 6, I can kinda see ypurs and other peoples confusion but, the childs voice does say "Biohazard 6" most people must know that's the original Japanese Title before it got altered to "Resident evil" for us westerners right?.
Trust the Internet to blow things way out of proportion.
Well look at it like this. Sony is subliminally telling you the consumer that a zombie apocalypse can only be contained by purchasing a new PlayStation 3 Super Slim. You alone will control the hatch that keeps the zombies at bay while at the same time enjoying high definition console gaming :D
Frankly, it's good form to do something to get people talking, and that one part does that....look at us. We're talking about it. And it's in the hottest stories section.
If you knew Japanese or even knew what RE is called in Japan (Biohazard), you'd realize that this is actually quite a clever ad. It is advertising PS3 and RE6 together.
Hahaha i Laughed so because i watched it on Mute , however seriously wtf do some people actually get convinced to buy the console because they think that there might be a real Zombie inside.
Hey Sony how about some full, uncommon, exclusive games for Vita, that's not a port of a Japanese game. There's barely any NA/EU support, and some games that take advantage of the back touchscreen, I can think of some creatvie games that take advantage of it, why can't you?
LOL... Good Lord, Sony you seriously need to fire your marketing team and/or adverstising agency and get someone who can make consistent good commercials. You were on the right track with Kevin Butler ...but this... ugghh. Who knows maybe that kind of crap goes down well in Japan?
You know that ad could have been better, if it was a tie-in ad for RE6 or any horror games that involves zombies that is about to get released for the PS3. That would give the commercial a lot of sense.

Also kind of cool.
but mostly weird and creepy.
Hang on does the little kid say something about Biohazard? maybe that's the reason there's a zombie in it =/

what it means to Japanese people? Slap in a face? Pie in a face if you buy it? :D

Da hell, Sony, what da hell.

One question though, is the zombie included in the console, or do we have to buy it seperately?
