The Six Weirdest PlayStation Ads

PS3Blog.net writes:

No matter what Xbox fanboys say, Microsoft can never top Sony in the ad department. Most of the ads for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 were rather creepy or revolting. And this post will highlight (or lowlight) the best (or worst) of them.

It still gets a laugh out of me even to this day.

EDIT: anything that came from the PS2/David Lynch days was awesome.

WLPowell5424d ago

You should check it out. It's very reminiscent of Unkle's "Rabbit in your headlight".

darthv725424d ago

it was also funny at the end when it said "be whoever you want to be in the third place".

I really love PS commercials. I like the KB ones but still love the odd ones and the PS Universe ones are pretty awesome too.

twin_rotary5424d ago

lol, ya just found that one. Great stuff.

Davoh5424d ago

PlayStation advertising at it's best xD

PHOSADRA5424d ago

I love the ps3 ads. Especially the firsrt ones with the baby, rubic's cube and sixaxis controlling the eggs.

And of course the new K. Butler ^.^ FTW

Karl Marx5424d ago

Yeah man. That campaign was sick. When I saw it, I bought a ps3 the next week

AlienFodder5423d ago

That was mind-bending... I'm glad I didn't see it back then because buying a PS3 would have been very, very hard to resist! :D

Katana Yamato5423d ago

Phosadra: Yeah i have to agree with you. The Creepy Baby was well...creepy. But i like that it was unique and different then just simply advertising the PS3 ya know. Makes it seems terrifying. I like Kevin Butler as well.

RedDead5424d ago

Are these suppose to convince me to buy a PS? I like them but there is something seriously wrong with the person who makes these. Especially the second one. WTF?

WLPowell5424d ago (Edited 5424d ago )

It's a commercial for a product that sells fantasy entertainment, as the great early 90's Sega and Nintendo commercials showed us it SHOULDN'T MAKE SENSE!!! It should just get the name of the product stuck in your head.

Microshock5424d ago

I think Sony's ad agency was trying to portray the fact that the PS3 was a really powerful machine that could do everything.

Not a great ad for selling things but it's still pretty neat.

user83971445424d ago

I gree,sony was trying to make the PS3 a powerful and idk evil console lol. But looking at the baby commercial makes me miss the phat PS3 :(

Honest_gamer5424d ago (Edited 5424d ago )

mrv3215424d ago (Edited 5424d ago )

Erm... ok... what do you really say to that? I'm fairly scared to be honest.

Sony does some crazy drugs.

The "New Wild Hunt Release" that they are referring to are the controllers, and wanting to see more stuff like special edition controllers for The Witcher 4.

darthv721d 4h ago

I just received the xb controller and while it's nice looking, the packaging was a total fail. An unbranded plain brown box. Not even a themed box like Doom got, or at least a regular looking box. Just a plain brown box.

Oh, and a 10th anniversary sticker in the box too.

FullmetalRoyale1d 2h ago

That sucks about the packaging, I'm glad you like the controller at least. The last controller that I bought I would put back in the box at the end of the gaming session.

Thanks for saving me a click! Doing the Lord’s work.

Didn't want to go that hard, but kinda felt a little baity to me.

Everything this site does is a bait to absorb ad revenue... we need to reform our submission process. We need a quality litmus test.

Can we please ban this site?
