Doesnt look like PGR3. I have almost all the cars in PGR3 and I have never seen that blue car with the racing spoiler. Honestly it looks like GT3 Aspec, I remember that blue car in the game.

Way to make the PS3 look even bigger. PS3 also gives you a migraine, and those wires don't look good.

That pic makes me want to go steal a PS3 and bash it in with my Wiimote... Frig, if PS3's entite fanbase is a couple of losers sitting in overly modern buildings pretending to be wowed by a not so amazing racing game, they've already lost...

It doesn't look any worse than the 360's velocity girl type of PR or the incredibly horrible Wii ads with people overreacting..

But then there's THIS and THIS. Go Wii!

I like the "Wii would like to play" adds from Nintendo best. I do not know why but I just think they are great.

You can't really blame Sony PR as much nowadays.  Recently it's been cows that have (ironically enough) tarnished the Sony/PS3 reputation the most.

This PR campaign looks like a definite shift from targeting Microsoft as a competitor (PS3 is more powerful) to targeting Nintendo (PS3 is fun for everybody).  Good move, but far too late.

Looks to me like Sony are taking a leaf out of Nintendo's book and trying to show people having fun gaming. Doesn't  fit with the PS3s image at all though and seems to me to be very badly done.

 

The one with the two people looking like they are in severe pain is definately my favorite.

 The girl in front looks like she is yawning. The girl in back looks like she's thinking 'Isn't this really an Xbox 360 game?'

Indeed. If I saw this, I'd think it was a denim jean add or something. Hell, I can't even read the 'playstation 3' writing.

Funny how people latch onto the small, barely noticeable things yet miss the big obvios ones.  If you ask me, this pic looks extremely similar to the Wii promo pics.  Almost like they jusdt copied the Wii ads and put a PS3 into the picture.

Yech, if the lifestyle I'm purchasing involves living in some awful ultra-modern wannabe apartment and looking like I'm in the closet, but not ready to come out yet...I'll pass.

Yeah, except in Wii ads, you can actually tell what game the people are pretending to play, and as cheesy as they are, you pretty much know that that's how you're going to look when you play a Wii game.

This kind of must be who ever is running Sony's Games such. Its like...Do you really need to make it that obvious. But wait...These have been in development since 2004. So it is Nintendo who stole from them

i'm sure when they are used in an ad they will superimpose a ps3 logo in a corner or something. they will be going for the feel and then trying make you accociate that with the ps3. but not in an obvious way. it's a style of advertising. not really my taste though.
