Marketing 101 - Sony got this one right on the money 😀

 

[buddhav1]

was anyone else impressed that it didn't go right through the TV? of course, there are metal supports, but suspending disbelief makes things like this fun.

 

[ricardok]

Pretty cool commercial. Loved it.

 

[Elsapo]

Beautiful

 

[belardo]

Wait! But what about in the USA?!

That, is a cool AD....

Wii is for wimps... I bet a Wii wont do that kind of damage.


Now, if that TV had video... oh the sparks!

if they used the original fat PS3 i am sure that would have split the tv in half

Brilliant marketing sony, felt like I was watching something epic, when in reality I'm watching you destroy a TV that would cost a couple thousand dollars.

talk about domestic violence

I can't think of a more pointless advert, what are they trying to say? Hey throw your PS3 at a tv and buy a new one, make us more money. If they had thrown it and both still worked then I would of been impressed, this is as pointless as saying "hey water makes you wet"

 

[nforce4max]

At least they didn't trash a plasma or a FED display.

 

[lifelesspoet]

Remind anyone of a 1984 superbowl ad?

 

[N19h7M4r3]

well the PS3 looks fine after the impact.. i assume the HDTV needs some work on the frame suport structure, and a tougher windscreen, i mean glass

 

[eyemaster]

Aww, and I just bought a Bravia TV not long ago. 🙁

 

[mlopinto2k1]

Don't try this at home.

I completely agree with you! Not sure why you're getting thumbs down on your comment. I watched that commercial, and it was a well produced one, clearly - but the point of it makes no sense at all. Is it shock value? Is it to show that Bravias are just as breakable as all others, etc? I suppose it's making us talk about it, so it worked - that's the ultimate aim of any commercial: to get noticed, and remembered.

I'm pretty sure that this is why terrorists hate us so much

 

[ssalim]

What a waste of money (destroying a tv) but I like the idea!

 

[Micropat]

Would anyone like to see that in real time?

 

[gbismack]

What a waste. That TV could be in my bedroom!
