Unlike the new japan adverts, i swear they were selling sex toys that you plug into your PS3. I kinda like the new EU adverts aswell, seems sony are kicking it up a notch, it's about time.It does everything.....except make SONY any profit.

Damn you sir, I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it!
Wonderful ad. The price is right. The marketing is right. PS3's "killer app" of the year.TREAL_SinceIt's amazing that they are professing to be returning back to their roots. It makes me wonder what the hell they were thinking before the price drop. Their ads were horrible save for the "Ladies and Gentlemen" ad. I'm so glad Sony is reorganizing themselves. The Slim is reminding me more of the PS2 days than ever before and I really do hope Sony keeps on going. The ads are witty, and the slogan is great. I hope they do some stuff for their games now. inFamous' ad was great, but I generally find that people love Super hero games, especially in NA. The Killzone ad was disastrous, and I hope they find a way to advertise that game again too.

Maybe this holiday they will do a super ad showing off Uncharted 2, Killzone 2 (the right way), Eye Pet, and Gran Turismo 5. Kinda like the ads back in 2007. Those were great.
Sony's swag is finally perfect now :P. You gonna play some Socom later? I saw you pop some tops the other day :).Man those are some funny ads, the best this gen....sheesh talk about Sony stepping their game up.

It's about time!
I played all day yesterday, trying to get my groove back :P but all those guys were old Clan buddies, we pretty much went our separate ways a couple months back but with the new patch we're reuniting...they're a bunch of cool guys and good too 8)
haha i thought the same thing after i watched the ads, i really wonder wtf they were thinking the begining of this gen, with the terrible ads, stupid comments, and bad decisions.Seems sony finally has it's head back on it's shoulders. It only took them about half a generation.

Ah, the money loss talk, Sept cant come soon enough.Why the PS3 Slim is still being sold at a loss for Sony?Or how about for Microsofts slogan it could be "It only does everything Sony should have done 3 years ago"

This is a great ad. I love the first one. Sony is making fun of themself cause they cant keep a secert even though the proof is pretty much everywhere and they just try to deny. Also great work shoving the price in the face of the consumers.
I hope they continue denying the price cut. I think it would be even funnier if they denied the rest of the features kinda like the first ad.This is a great ad. I love the first one.

Its nice to see a good marketing campaign from Sony again. Now my only hope they continue to release good ads and commercials, since they have a habit of dropping them after awhile. I think thatwere all in agreement thatthe first PS3 ads were horrible, but I really liked the morphing ones they released for the holiday season of 07. Why they ever gave up on those comericails is beyond me?
Regarding the ads, they couldn't have come up with a better slogan. It works pretty well and the ads are nice and simple. I still feel though, that Sony needs to gloat more about the free online. I simply say this because there are consumers who still think that you must pay a fee to play games online. Sony just needs to clear the confusion on that. The four strongest selling points for the PS3 are:
1) Exclusive games
2) Blu-ray Player
3) FREE ONLINE PLAY
4) Reliability/Wifi (one or the other, but I'm leaning towards reliability
Secondary selling points include:
Home, movie downloads, rechargeable controllers, etc
