As camp as Christmas
How wonderful, darlings. Poodles, glitter, men in make-up and shiny suits are just one part of Sony's PS3 campaign this Christmas. With Wii's in short supply, both Sony and Microsoft are hoping to push Nintendo aside and bag themselves some much needed cash this holiday period. Why shouldn't they 'camp it up', eh? It's what Christmas is all about.Sony has delivered some awful T.V ads over the years, but I actually really like this one, which is set to debut on British TV shortly. It's pretty surreal with clowns, poodles and a creepy looking man who I certainly wouldn't trust to babysit the kids, but it does kinda give the impression that the PS3 may be fun to play. There isn't any in-game footage and the first thing they mention is Blu-Ray, which frankly most gamers couldn't care less about, but hey, it is the console's main strength.
Has Sony been getting marketing advice for Christopher Biggins?
Note: Turning a nice dog into a poodle isn't a beautiful thing and shouldn't be used as a metaphor for Blu-Ray. Poodles are really, really hideously ugly.
