This ad's been generating lot of interest in the western media. PlayStation confirmed the ads are not official.

Here's another one from Wonderland.

I know what they're trying to do here, but it doesn't work.

Just like the PSP ads didn't work. No wonder the Wii is outselling the PS3 6-to-1, they're not alienating any customers (quite the opposite at the moment).

Honestly. What kind of cavemen do they employ in Sony's marketing dept?
Thanks to Kevin for sending this in, and the lovely N'Gai for finding it in the first place.

UPDATE: Beenabadbunny says, while the ads are real, they possibly don't belong to Sony. A Sony hired-blogger is denying they're official... going from N'Gai's original post, the ads are posted on AdsoftheWorld.com, which claims to showcase worldwide work; however, any user can upload an example.

fwiw: the type treatment seems to be done by a girl.... does that make me sexist too? :shock:

as an old great teacher (mark fenske) of mine once said: "don't tell me how to feel, make me feel it".
