The PS3 Ad blitz begins

by Ed Stasick { Oct 7th 2006 at 8:45AM }

Our vast network of fanboy spies is reporting that PS3 ads have started showing up in New York City over the past 48 hours. All of the banners and billboards spotted so far follow the same theme, using a simple shot of the console itself combined with a "Play B3yond" tagline. Below that catch-phrase is the launch date: "11/17." Simple. Clean. Effective.

This particular photo was taken yesterday afternoon in Chinatown. The sunbeams (or God fingers as we like to call them) that are illuminating everyone's favorite console are natural. The cool photography is courtesey of shooterfan.

We're glad to see the Sony ad blitz begin in earnest.

I am really hoping they have thier own, next gen, "red e" thing, or
another kind of creepy wolfman thing. I remember there was a PS9
commecial for the PS2. How about making the sequel, and make the
settings futuristic, but keep the PS3. Than, at the end, they somehow
manage to show the date, and it says Noverember 17, 2006. I think that
would be a pretty sweet commercial. They can have a nice slogan like,
"the future is now" because be november 19(close enough) all the next
gen consoles would be out, and they would officially become current
gen, while the oldies become past gen, "now with retro, nos-tal-ja"
ooooh, now i feel old playing my PS2... Fuck that, I just bought
Okami, and pre-ordered God Hand. I barely ever touch my 360
anymore... I think it wants a divorce. Well, I am keeping the
controllers, and it is getting half the games, but only if it gives
me that Big Lebowski dvd that is still in the disc holder. "Better
luck with the new ones. A midget and a fatass? That's what your into?
Whatever freak!" Man... My 360 is mean. It is just soooo hot! But now
Microsfot is making the ones with the smaller chips, and a little
less hotness(or heat... Jackass!). Maybe that would prevent people from making the same
mistakes as I did...

P.S.

I hate racing games, but Burnout is
freaking awsome!!! They took all my 'suck' and turned it into a
beautiful, flying fireball, crusheing all my opponents while laughing maniacly. If that wasn't
enough, they even threw in some explosives under the hood! "I'm
crrrrqazy Bill, selling YOU exploding cars is MY buissines. You
better not try to horn in on my buissnes, or Crrrazy Bob just might
send a welcome gift your way... HAHA! IIIIIm Crrrrrazy! Ben!"I think I
just found Burnout's new line of commercials... How crrrazy is that?
Now if only sony would realize my commercial genious, and stop hiring
racists retards. I won't say I am THAT many more steps up, but atleast
I won't anger any minority groups, I hear they worship the devil you know, and if you get thyem angry they turn green, and grow, and tear all thier clothes,

except thier tiny pants, which turn purple. Wait.... I am confuiing The Hulk with minorities again... Minorities really do worship the devil though.
Freakin Canadians! Half french, half north american, the Quebequa
Canadians are known to the french as a "Day-Walkers". It is
pretty funny to see a french gang banger though. I think I just found
new commercil for the PSP. This little kid is playing tekken on his
PSP, then, a bunch of gang bangers come up to him, and the kid is
freaking out, but then they speak french, and he kicks thier ass
tekken style. "You might even learn a little" I am telling you, the
next one would have some kid with a PSP and a copy of Loco Roco, and
he beats some famous snowborder. Genious I say! Sony, hire me
already!

P.S.P(or whatever the second one is called)
If those thigs are God fingers(which is totally what I am calling them from now on) where si the God Hand? I don't know, just don't take it. God already thinks of humans as the "give them a fingure and they take the whole hand" types, you would just ruin all out god cred, and he'll move on to dolphins... With thier mocking laughs... I can't take it anymore! Death to Flipper! Death to Flipper! "Dude, I think he just flipped you off, dude" Death! Deeeeeeaaaaath!
