Worst. Promo. Ever.
The Aeropause crew dug this PS3 promo video (or something) out of the bowels of netspace, and it’s quite possibly the most boring demonstration of anything in the universe ever. Ever. Watch whisper-quiet footage of a group of pasty boring people halfheartedly clapping along to their bored-looking gaming friend – before the video devolves into a sluggish attempt to make the PS3’s multimedia capabilities look fun. They may be fun, what would I know? But in this clip they look about as fun as a #2 pencil. Wheee. Welcome to the bottom of the barrel, folks: happy scraping.

Other stuff like this: promo video, ps3
Worwwww – this is like my visiting-with-boring-people social nightmare in promo form . . . :o
It’s exciting. Watching people sitting. And staring.
HAHAHAHAHA! Whooo…
Oh, wait, that wasn’t supposed to be funny, was it? Well, at least this rubbish isn’t being shown on TV… yet.
So wait, are we sure this wasn’t put together by Nintendo or Microsoft? Because that made me even less excited for the ps3.
At least they aren’t jumping around the room yelling at the top of their lungs acting all “X-TREME!!1!one” like most game promo stuff. I’ve never seen anyone act like that while playing a video game.
Wow. Nothing is quite as boring as watching other people play video games. Trust me, my boyfriend complains about it all the time, but this video really takes the cake. The kid in the basketball shirt might actually be retarded.
Hm. Now hear me out, I kinda think this is really smart. The important parts of it to me are the…starkness of the room. These are po’ folk. Okay, well, not really, but not exactly the affluent folk you expect to be buy the ps3. Think of the image that systems have been portraying in their advertising, all about escape. Maybe it’s a smart move to be the first to be like “remember all those times you hang around with your cousins and have nothing to say so you start playing mario party so you don’t have to talk to each other?” Oh wait…this is ps3…nvm. Still, it makes this expensive system look like a normal part of the post-college-no-medical-insurance-trying-to-get-a-job-but-not-really-trying life. Now you can have that life in HD with next-gen game engines. I’m a prime example, i spent my student loans on an xbox 360. Now the ps3 seems within reach.
holla
If that were their ‘game-faces’, they need to get new ones. my grandmother has a better gameface than that. (but then again: she’s into brain training and tetris.)
but it’s nice to see a token white guy, a token black guy, a token latino guy and a token girl gamer playing together. (forget about it being totally unrealistic.)
what made me smile was the hair flip the token girl gamer did when she was playing. it’s something al my grrl-gamers friends seem to do. must be something female…
I really dont think this was done by sony. I lacks the polish all of there other ps3 stuff has. I mean, the system isnt even shined, card ports were covered in fingerprints. I think this may be a mockup from the new advertising agency sony signed on, but not any final product.
Of course these people are poor: they just bought a ps3, a second controller, and two games.
That’s why the room looks bland and empty, they had to sell most of the furniture and home appliances to afford it.
When they try to fake enjoyment, It remembers me when I bought my psp… I tried really hard to persuade myself it wasn’t a waste of money.
But it was.
Not by Sony…intrigueing. That would make it MUCH better cuz it’d be like hey check it out i got a hold of a ps3. Though if that were the case, I’d wonder how the hell they got it in their apartment since the ps3 is bigger than a doorway. I wonder if ps3 will come with a free demolition team to knock a big enough hole through the wall.
Last thing though, I think it is by Sony cuz it has failed viral written all over it.
wow. i really want to buy a PS3 now. whooo-hoo.
