chances are that I'm over here, on the old Twitter.
Or maybe on Tumblr.
Or out in the real world.
No, I'm kidding. Unfortunately.

Dear Sony: This commercial sucks. Disregard the fact that the “It Only Does Eveything” campaign has been setting itself up for jokes since it started, this one is the worst of the series so far. Why? Because in a supposed “montage” of all of the great things the PS3 does, you only showed games. And they only showed 7 games. GT5, some game with a dragon in it, Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, The Beatles: Rock Band, Assassins Creed 2, Madden NFL 2010. 3 of which were multiplatform. Plus, it’s very easy to realize that only a few games were used, so good on you, Sony. Why does your marketing department suck? Now, it might seem a little mean to declare you as the absolute worst with this one commercial, but this entire campaign is ridiculous. Why would you have a motto of "It only does everything" for anything? Especially when "everything" should encompass backwards compatibility? Hell, even if we don't consider this ad campaign in the Sony timeline of advertising, I think we can all agree you haven't exactly had any breakthroughs in that PR department, huh? Sincerely, me. P.S. How the hell is an “all-nighter” a feature? I mean… what? P.P.P.S. I didn't even mention the series of racist ads. P.P.S. Surprisingly enough, this still isn't the worst marketing you've ever done.

The average person won't see "multiplatform games", they'll just see a load of games that may or may not appeal to them, regardless if they can be bought elsewhere.
PlayStation 3. It only does EVERYTHING except play PS2 games...
The montage is good for people that don't own a PS3 - it shows games they likely know and don't know. It's good that they show both multiplat and exclusive games.
... it's not my favorite ad in this campaign... but I really like this ad campaign overall!!
you can't win em all if you can't love em all.
And this commercial is seriously the worst - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTGAOKLQ3hs
EXCE PLAY PS2 GAMI?
PICS?
I'm guessing you've never actually tried to use that update yourself. That enables PS3s that already *have* BC to allow PS2 games that need to install to a HDD (FFXI for example) to do so. Not to mention that update has been there since 2006.
Side Note: Demon's Souls (possibly), Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, GT5, Ratchet & Clank, and Little Big Planet... What more do you want?
Also, they would like to show games of varying genres that aren't exclusive (Do companies that manufacture televisions only play Bluray movies, in their advertisements, that their company produces? No).
Lastly, some PS3's do have Backwards compatibility... Just sayin'
And I think any commercial with that Kevin Butler guy is fucking hilarious.
The candle ad is funny as well.....................I like the new commercials.
I like tutrles.
You want to get a BC machine, I've seen a few at GameStop stores and there are always a few on eBay and Amazon. When it's a lot cheaper to just buy non-BC PS3 + PS2, the reason to have the feature flies far out the window. Oh boy, Upscaling! Is it really worth that much money?
