I'm going to have to go with Sackboy or Snake. Though I think Ratchet and Clank should be mentioned too.

I think it should Snake, but they'd probably pick Sackboy

i didn't mean it like that. i meant that if i put ratchet up there, that would limit the choices to 5. but if i put 'other' then there are so many more options.

Aren't they all ambassadors of the PS3? An ad promoting PS3 will most prob have the image of more than one character, maybe even all of their faces. If I HAD to choose one, Snake. He's been around the longest and has probably the most impactful to the video gaming industry amongst the names listed. But then again, MGS isn't exactly an exclusive franchise.

Yes!

It's like combining the Wii & 360. The Nintendo Wii has so many childrens games, and the Xbox 360 has so many shooters.

The problem with this is that they all have considerable flaws. Sackboy works for bringing in younger/newer players or those with the OCD level required to make effective, worthy levels in LBP, but he's much too "kiddie" to allure the core people who've already shunned the Wii due to the absurd (perceived) amount of child-oriented games on that system already. Snake is cool, especially for how good he is in MGS4... but at the same time, MGS4 is the end for Snake. And Kojima has been quite adamant that he doesn't want to do more MGS's, and wants to pass the torch already. Nathan Drake? Yea, he has a closer "average joe" quality which did so well for Mario, but at the same time, Uncharted just feels uncharacteristically "racist", given that nearly every enemy in the game is basically every nationality/ethnicity other than Nathan Drake's "whitey" look. Kratos definitely has the "bad ass" appeal that is shared with Marcus Fenix. And Jaffe has been good with the PlayStation for sure. But my question is... what does he intend to bring out with God of War 3? and after that's done, what's next? If someone is going to be the 'face' of the ps3, it needs to be a character that many demographics can resonate with positively. And more importantly, there be a continuing flow of games featuring this character. And right now, none of the options listed really stand out for my personal choice... nor can I think of someone/thing better.

I don't believe a console would have a 'face'. Maybe so but temporarily.

Sackboy or the Helghast. I don't say Snake because he's from a third party and he comes out in Smash Bros. Brawl :P

As much as I dislike LittleBigPlanet I do think that Sackboy should be the 'face' of the PS3 because he is cute and funny looking in a good way.

I think it should be Snake, for obvious reasons. Sackboy, on the other hand, is more PR-friendly. :P

even though snake is awesome, he has not been exclusive to Sony. He has appeared on XBOX and Nintendo systems. So the best one out of all of them would have to be Kratos. God of War sells Systems!!!!

My vote goes to Sackboy. He's so awesome, and he has broad appeal. You have no heart if you don't like him. :P

MGS4 was a big game and all that blah blah blah I think Snake would be the best choice for the face of the PS3, but the fact that Snake's story has come to an end, I think it'd be better to use the game that still has another game in it which would mean SackBoy

though I voted Snake because I perfer him. But Sackboy is a family friendly icon which seems to be all the rage amongst Soccer Moms... /facepalm and I'm sure Sony will choose Sackboy because look at him! HE'S F****** ADORABLE and LittleBigPlanet is great game (despite the controls not being the greatest)

eh.. forget it... Old Snake would be the best choice for Sony's icon because the series has come a long way and went out with the biggest bang of a franchise I'd say.

oh yeah. A problem with Sackboy, is he has no real apperance being as he's so customizable (many possible outfits and what not.). Though that could be used as an advatage for advertising I guess...?

Sack Boy. You can make him/her appeal to all ages and genders, it's adorable, and you can make it look like any character. It's a universal mascot I think.

let's say other and put my face there...your face there...the entire PS3 community's face there. We are the driving force with the PS3. It's true that systems have used mascots in the past, but it's the present and were heading into the future. so maybe we all deserve to be the face of the PS3. Just a thought

Console mascots have usually been of the family-friendly persuasion on every console, throughout console history. Mario, Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, etc. Hence, I voted Sackboy.

Sackboy in a helghast costume holding MGS paintball gun. and u know, if Kratoes blades came as an accessory, you can stick that on his back also.

on a side note, if i had to choose most underrated. i'd have to choose Cherry Stijnen from Valkyria Chronicles with a chat bubble over her head saying "Like, DUH!"
