And here's another bewildering decision - Sony's Christmas PS3 advert. Featuring, as we have come to expect from Sony, NO GAMES AT ALL. This is probably for the best. Showing off the glitchy versions of Assassin's Creed and PES 2008 wouldn't really help much.
So here are some weird actors in stupid clothes:
This is pretentious nonsense churned out in the name of advertising like we've never seen before. Two sensational firsts for Team PS3!
A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.

Tha advert actually made sense for the audience. Big, stupid, brutal rock music with shouting people combined with game footage of stuff going 'boom'. American's love that shit. As already pointed out, none are out right now.
That European one is as rubbish as the one they were showing around launch with the exploding brief case or something! Utter toss.
Stop selling the PS2, that might help and final amend for the 'emotion engine' lies.

this one is notable that out of the 4 games, two are out on the 360 as well, and those happen to be the ones that are actually available. The other two games are not out (but I believe exclusive to ps3).
the 3rd party ads shows Time Crisis 4 ( out ) and NFL ( Out ) NFS (Out ) ASScreed (out )
only Haze and MGS4 not out yet ..
so .
In first video I listed... it showed burnout (not out), and MGS (not out). the other two they showed were out (so 2 out 4 were out). Out of those two, one was exclusive.
In the second video, I didn't say that they weren't out specifically, just that the only exclusive ones were not out yet.
So we have out of the seven games shown (MGS was in both)
3 not out yet (Burnout, MGS, Haze), all exclusive.
3 not exclusive (WWE, Assassin Creed, NFL), all out.
1 exclusive and out (Time Crisis 4, not anything to be really excited about really, unless you REALLY like those types of games).
So yeah... let's go and buy the PS3 right now so we can play the exciting exclusive game... Time Crisis 4?
Not that PlayStation 3 is a bad system... (I don't know), but Sony just has a knack for pulling a lot of annoying marketing crap.
3 not out yet (Burnout, MGS, Haze), all exclusive. ]
Is Burnout a P(o)S3 exclusive now? i know its been delayed and delayed for the 360 but wasn't aware it was cancelled :(
More importantly, top left: Would.
middle left: not a chance.
I'm surprised the Sony scumbags haven't sunk this low low yet ( http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/11/28/lagos_sues_olpc_over_keyboard/ ) , suing a semi-charitable organisation for infringement....keep watching this space...keep watching...
I lost interest in the PS2 when every game was pretty much a brightly colourful platformer designed to appeal to 10 year olds with Attention Deficit Disorder (or a bloody EA yearly update), with stuff like Heavenly Short and Crappet & Clank the PS3 looks to be heading that way already.
