Mmmm. Where to begin. What you are about to see (if you haven't already) is one of the weirdest PS3 trailers commercials you will ever see. It features no screenshots, no image of the product its trying to sell, and ends up looking more like a promo for a new Quentin Tarantino film than anything else. It has it all: hookers, jock straps, a Baxter-like little dog, and exploding cash. Don't get us wrong; the creative side of our brains like the result (especially the music and mini suspense act), but there is no way in Hades this thing could help move PS3s in Europe (where the ad was made for).

Whoa.....now this is one odd PS3 commercial. Definately no signs of the console Sony wishes to sell in that clip.

I like it. It is a form of advert where the whole message is not in a obvious way related to the product (i belive there is a term for it).

It's done like a movie trailer. Still, it is a notch above the other "this is living" commercials floating about. Totally random nonetheless.

This commercial is stupid. Just like the cyring, exploding baby doll crap. Maybe if the commercials weren't some wacked-out crap, that only the anime folk could brew up, sony would actually sell the PS3.
