Obviously.

I don't buy games consoles on pure basis of adverts though.

Thats not the idea, spazberg. Its called Public Awareness.

 

[Moving Target]

It certainly doesn't raise my awareness.

i actually remember that feckin wierd PS2 advert. with the man with a ducks head and doors and stuff saying

"welcome to the second place" or someit

 

[old.unakc]

WEll i dont think much of those adds, eaither ps2 or ms.
But remember the PS1 adverts back in the day, damn they were good. Telling u there to dangerous to play, and that weirdo guy locking it up, and stickers all over the streets, "sociaty against ps.

Now that was good.

Lol, did you heard about the Story in the Paper today (Friday), where in Oxford Street; London, at Virgin Megastores, were they where releasing the X Box, some homeless chap waited a few hours to get in, then nicked one of the boxes

 

[old.Kez]

And that made the tabloids? Jesus, the public's media is such shit.

I dont remember sega ad's, ps ad's or xbox ad's at all really....

I remember the tampax sweet tampon ad more than them all (((

Only due to its crappy miming...

same with that shitty glade air freshener thing with the little chinese kid going "poooooooo" which was mimed too...

argh

OMG! An actual console launch campaign where they show in game footage?!??!! :O

I've seen the baby ad once, the music one a few times, the Halo one once, and the Project Gotham one once.

I've just seen the DoA3 one, which is ok. Nothing special but probably better than Sony stuff...

The platinum ad might work a bit better if he originally threw the proper copies of games, and then finds out their platinum, rather than throwing platinum ones indicating he allready knows that its platinum and that its just a crappy advert...
;p

 

[old.Kez]

You know Sony are scared (Hi bodhi!) when they start producing decent awareness ads. They've just brought out one with some man eating a ps2, subtitled from french. No game footage whatsoever.

Blatantly afraid xbox could do well.

Wow! Someone else noticed! Yay! That ad angers me.


(Apart from the part where he says Wasps Whisker. Teehee.)

rah leady

and yeah kez thats right


thats a crap ad as well.

and that the third place bollocks was appalling.

I find it amusing that so many of you lot slate the xbox ad, yet here you are making a 2 page thread about it.. I think the X Box pr people should give themselves a pat on the back..

 

[Hashmonster]

erm console forum.....

 

[nath]

Yes, but if it really didnt get in your head, you wouldnt think about it to talk about it here..

the fact is, it's in your head, you talked about it, the ad worked

 

[Nibbler]

Very true. I like XBox now :\

 

[Hashmonster]

the thing is u could say that about any ad - like the crappy tampon advert! it's a gaming forum so we discuss the advert. Go to a honda website, they won't discuss it there

 

[bodhi]

Imo the xbox advert was as mind bogglingly shit as the console itself. At least "The Third Place" was cool in a fucked up kinda way.

I like the mosquito one a lot
