I use my PS3 daily, its a media center, and it stills collect dust like mad. It might be that it just shows it more then the Wii and everything. The dust just seems to be drawn to it

black and glossy is a bad combo for dust... showage? yeah, showage.

Spoken by someone with a black plasma TV, glossy black Tivo, PS3, glossy black computer, black keyboard, and glossy black aluminum blinds on the bedroom windows.

Not to mention my black heart.

Which is dusty and three sizes to small.

Slashing the price of the PS3 Dev kit?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #2429 on:** November 19, 2007, 05:38:00 PM »

What? You say the console is still >$350?

SORRY, NOT BUYING THIS HORSE CRAP

Ceric · « **Reply #2430 on:** November 20, 2007, 05:03:29 AM »

Interesting. I wonder if they are also slashing the price of the programming tools for PC.

That's a shame. I really like the new PS3 ads with that one song.

EasyCure · « **Reply #2436 on:** November 29, 2007, 10:03:37 AM »

ugh really, i hate those ads BECAUSE of that song.

Maverick · « **Reply #2437 on:** November 29, 2007, 10:09:48 AM »

Hehe, I really like it. I heard the song before on the radio and it gets a little repetitive, but I still liked it for the most part. It definitely has a "Rage Against The Machine" feel to it in my opinion.

I wouldn't buy the song and listen to it on a regular basis, but I think it's PERFECT for a commercial like this one.

Ceric · « **Reply #2438 on:** November 29, 2007, 10:24:57 AM »

I think the new song fits the PS3 Commercials well. I'm glad they are doing a more clipshow that, *gasp*, actually shows the product. They should have cut that firm a long time ago.

The Guide describes the marketing division of Sony Computer Entertainment as "a bunch of mindless jerks who will be the first against the wall when the Revolution comes"

I think it would behoove Sony to be a little LESS "Rage Against The Machine." I guess that's that's at least marginally less threatening than the eerie Tool video-esque commercials from a year ago. At this point, I'm afraid a PS3 is going to kick down my door and lay eggs in my chest. Sony really needs to delve into the Up With People portfolio to balance out their advertising.

How dare you use RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and Sony in the same sentence!

Maverick · « **Reply #2442 on:** November 30, 2007, 08:16:22 AM »

In this case, would Sony BE the machine?

I too greatly like the new PS3 commercial and the song with it.

I hate the new PS3 Ads. They are quite silly. Watch are you games bulge out of your machine and attack you. It is way to edge, and presents a pretty stupid hardcore feel for a machine. It doesn't appeal to everyone...it appeals to the Xbox 360 crowd at most...and guess what they already have a system that can do everything a PS3 can do, and some things better.

It appealed to me, does that make me part of the 360 crowd? I also don't own a 360 either . . . soooooo . . .

They're a lot better than the old ads, especially the one with the creepy doll.

Sony is doing its best to convince consumers that its black evil looking system was made by Lucifer himself. They want to look cool, hip, and intimidating. They want you to think that other systems cower in fear when the PS3 enters the room.

Sega tried the same strategy in the early 90s and it relegated them to 2nd place. After all, evil satanic looking things do appeal to some, but the Wii has a broader appeal with its angelic benevolently blue halo. And you know, good always triumphs over evil in the end. This is a system that is more family friendly, both in games and in the advertising. Parents who are thinking of gifts for little Billy this christmas are watching the commercials and with the Wii commercials they see two friendly Japanese guys demonstrating fun games to people; now contrast that with the PS3 commercials with creepy satanic dolls and dark disturbing imagery. Which do you think the parent is going to opt for out of these two?

And as for the 360, I guess they are neutral or some shade of grey, like purgatory or something....

EasyCure · « **Reply #2449 on:** December 01, 2007, 10:02:23 AM »

(not sure where to post this)

so at work i'm stuck watching ABC all day cuz no one knows how to change the channel*

yesterday on Rachel Ray she had on some sort of “gift giving expert” to show off what's “hot” this holiday reason. What did she bust out first? A PSP. She tries to get the crowd excited by saying “Everyone in the audience gets one!” and all you hear is golf-claps, with Rachels smile almost fading she tries to convince the crowd their getting something good by saying “Sony doesn't NEED to give any of these away, thanks Sony!”

more golf claps. The guest then goes on about all its cool features “its not just a videogame, its an mp3 and a wi-fi internet! And it plays movies too, great for all those long trips!”

those were her exact words. I actually LOL'd. Looks like their trying to market to nongamers now too. Meanwhile on The View a few days earlier they gave everyone a DSL and brain age 2 and the crowd cheered pretty loud. To be fair maybe The View has a brighter applause sign.
