ps2 ads

Figment

Just read today they are directed by David Lynch. They are memorable...

I Love the visuals.. only thing is the quote, "the third place", i know its meant to be a mad other dimension sorta thing reference, but does it not just sound like them possibly saying "the third place (behind X-box & Gamecube)" i.e. shoot ourselves in the foot laeds..

I saw them making them on Channel 4 on BITS a week ago, it looked a bit sad then though.
Methinks that the X-box will kick **** though coz its much more powerful and its gonna have Black&White prolly, which is also gonna be huge.

Im afraid swifty is right kev, the Bits presenters are atrocious, far worse than countdown. On the few occasions Ive watched it it was painfully obvious they were reading straight from auroque, and they even emphasised the wrong words!!! Oh dear.

Figment

Oh but your wan more than makes up for all their shortcomings
I seen one a couple of weeks ago when they were bringing the ps2 around the country and is seems one of them can play well. Of course it didnt show how long she had to practice...

OSiriS

Figures, the one with the duck looks like it was taken straight from Twin Peaks.

The ads are very effective, make you think and therefore get them imbedded in your memory.

I read a while ago that Lynch was aiming to make the ads 'esoteric and subtle'

He certainly got the former down to pat

What's the point when most of us won't be able to get our hands on a PS2 until next year?

Kali

sony are just trying to re-enforce their market in the 18+ market as is obvious from the ads.. and i dont think they're shown before 9?
as they know kids are going to _have_ to get them regardless of how many ads are shown.

good strategy.

There's the basic problem that a lot of folk have no clue what they're advertising

Regarding the Bits presenters - one of them (can't remember which) is a pr0n star; however, the other two actually do know their games pretty well - they'd make passable journalists if they weren't doing the bit on the telly. It's mainly just the format of the show that makes them look like silly bints, because they themselves are pretty savvy.

Emily Booth = Bouff = pr0n star, have a URL around here somewhere...

Swifty

Yeah looks like her allright

Also looks like shes a sh1te pr0n star aswell

Anyway they get paid for playing the games and acting the complete fag0t on tele so how bad? :P

pat kenny

I think this is her.
