Xeogred, you know... I've kinda come to have a silent respect for you... But right now, that's hinging on whether or not you're being sarcastic.

It was a commercial targeting an older, non-gaming audience. When you look at these things with the bias that goes along with being young and a gamer, of course you're not going to understand it. :p If you look at it from another angle, it's commercials like these that convince older people to buy a product for either their kids or themselves.

There's no need to be angry for not seeing shots of upcoming games, though. There will most likely be plenty of game commercials as their release date draws closer (though really, it's never anything different from what you've already seen at a site like Gamespot).

I sort of fit in the older demograph moreso than the younger one.. And I still find the commercial to be fucking stupid. I mean.. it felt more like a Kodak advertisement or something, until they talk about getting shot, which is even more fucking stupid, because they're essentially suggesting their console is "so real" you can hardly tell the difference from it and the world around you.. and we all know that's full of crap.

Graphics have gotten good, but not photorealistic good, and certainly there is nothing immersive enough to merit that kind of an advertisement angle.. It sounds very much like they're making it out to be beyond what it is, and preying on the naive to fall for it.. Not that it would be a first for any company to do that, but ugh, there are so many more intelligent ways to have gone about this..

The whole thing just.. bored me. Like most commercials do, but worse it told me nothing about the product or the games.. why should I care, is what I ask myself.. And that's kind of counter-productive for what a commercial is suppose to do. (They're suppose to at least tell you what a product does, so the interested will actually look further into it later..) Meh, I admit I am not Sony's greatest fan at the moment either, but if they had made a cool commercial, displaying all of what the console could do, I might have at least given them some credit for that.. but lately it just feels like they keep screwing stuff up..
