Great ad.

At Sony HQ:

"We have successfully infiltrated the wallet, sir."

"Good job gentlemen."

lol great youtube comment :P

So Vita allows one to ignore every one around them, and play while their nails are being done? one handed?
*not as bad as psp squirls but its up there*

That was a well thought out ad, I got to hand it to them. Not that ads work on me, I do not purchase using emotions alone.

There we go, now that's a nice ad!

I'd always figure with early launch system advertisements, one of the most important messages you'd want to get out are what games are available and upcoming, or new features on the system.

Seems like this ad would be better suited later in vita's lifespan.

Sighhhhhh why do i have to wait till next week? -__- i want the system now!

This ad is way better then the teaser ad.

:roll: @ ensuing flip-flop of opinions

A solid 'B' commercial, some of the cinematography is dull and you don't really get to see the handheld until the very end. But it's definitely taking a page from the "Michael" ad and it's a respectable imitation.

This is the North American ad

lmao! nice one.

The ad is definitely similar to ones they have done in the past, but its good, so why the heck not. I like a little gameplay, which is why I enjoy the 2 new 3DS ads more.

Not bad, but not good either, it's not exactly advertising their handheld very well it's more like saying "Hey guys this let's you play games anywhere!!!!" Yeah no **** people know what handhelds are Sony.bobbetybob

That's a great ad for people who already know what the Vita is and what it is capable of.

I still think they need some non-creative commercials that just get the point across that it is the PSP successor, has dual analogs, is capable of PS3 esque graphics and gameplay, shows some features like the front and rear touch pads/screens... I think they need to actively run 2 different commercials, one like the one posted in the original post and one that describes the device to people who don't know about it.

Those are some great ads all around. I'll be keeping an eye glued to the TV to see if they air frequently.charizard1605

And here I thought you would be busy on that sweet sweet 3DS :P

Notice that it shows adults playing the handheld :/

Surprise, I dont care!

Pretty weak ad to me. I dun see it hyping anyone naive about the Vita to run out and buy it. It doesn't highlight anything else special about it -- the whole "we are the game" style BS is lame as hell.

Am yet to see anything on UK TV, but I will keep looking. I am really on the fence about the Vita, and I need some adverts to convince me (and the girlfriend) that this is a good use of my money.thetruespin

no surprise there^^:P

idk, Sony ads r never perfect, almost, like 360 ads are. they're always missing something to make them really great and eye catching. this one is just too long and shows zero gameplay and a glimpse of Vita at the end. most people besides diehard cows will look at this mess n change channels 20 seconds in. Sony's ads r counter productive n pointless.

like one user said, why did they make a commercial braggin about being able to play a handheld anywhere....thats what handhelds do! lol...stupid.

I'm not sure a normal guy is going to connect the dots between watching this ad and buying a Vita. "I have Fifa on my PS3. Why do I need this?"ActionRemix

While people are generally stupid, I believe at least, this is ridiculous. Guy on the beach had it in his hands. Also, they show the system at the end of the commercial. "HMM SCREEN IN MIDDLE, BUTTONS ON SIDES, SMALL DEVICE, WONDER WHAT IT'S FOR HERRP DERPPPP." Also, the whole having to show every single thing about it in a commercial is idiotic. Commercials aren't infomercials, they're to spark interest. People are more likely to go look things up on the internet after they see a commercial on them.

Kinda think they should have actually shown some games in the ad. Maybe even some (gasp) gameplay.

[QUOTE="ActionRemix"][QUOTE="Zaibach"]can you play your FIFA ps3 on the BUS? yh I thought so

bleehum

[QUOTE="bleehum"]

[QUOTE="ActionRemix"]Did they show that in the ad? They showed someone STANDING on a bus, but that's not useful information to someone who doesn't already know what a Vita is. There's nothing in the ad to differentiate it from a PSP either, besides the name.ActionRemix
