A PS3 vs. your girlfriend: it's like Sophie's Choice, only more dramatic
8:57 PM on 04.06.2007, Chad Concelmo 23 comments

Forget the scary crying baby and exploding Rubik’s cube, this should have been the PS3’s marketing campaign from the start. Maybe things would have turned out better.

Comparing girlfriends with technology is always fun (and surprisingly effective). Just the other day I bought an iPod because I realized that, it’s true, girlfriends can’t play the soundtrack to Dreamgirls for me while I’m working out. See? Sony would only benefit from such smart thinking.

What are some other things that the PS3 does that your girlfriend can’t? Here’s a suggestion to get the ball rolling: the PS3 can eject things out of its slot when touched -- your girlfriend (hopefully) cannot.

Well, technically you can have sex with a PS3, but ...

It usually takes quite a bit of effort to get your girlfriend up for a little suck, where as the PS3 sucks with just the press of a button.

OMG, first time the words "maybe I do want a ps3" have came out of my mouth. That's exactly all the problems I had with my last GF. They also need to add, PS3 will fold whenever you want and then have a picture of your girlfriend refusing to do your laundry.

And yet, I'd still rather have a girlfriend than a PS3.

Bleep, so true brother... so true. They forget the good things and always remember the bad. The PS3 still lacks boobs.

I hear girlfriends are more fun during a power failure.

Im taking it that ad was thought up by a single guy. As much as I want to hang out and be cool with gamers, I'd prefer a nice pair to settle down with for the evening.

For my friend: A PS3 wont turn lesbian on you, it is already bi, haha.

My Turn: I just sinned against God and thought, “a PS3 might actually be better than my g/f.” Yes, I think in abbreviations, like g/f, lol and brb, haha. Best ad campaign idea ever though Chad. If they would have had that as a commercial, I would of considered it, at least for a split second. Ofcourse once I heard a couple game developers bashing the system... no chance in hell.

Danger Shark - best comment on the board.
