"Winners don't do drugs or gamble during a forest fire
A public service announcement from Mr. Destructoid"
lol
Next year they'll change their minds, I tell ya.
Sweet deal, I never knew what to do with those PS3 games. I now know I can put them IN my PS3!!!
old news snore zzzzzzzzz
Wait, when people make products for the PS3 they look at what adverts are out about it? Oh please.
MOAR PS3 SHOOPS!
This is bullshit. Obviously its a game system. Its just a piece of shit to code for
Wait so I can play games on my blu-ray player? Who knew?
Damn, I didn't know that piece of shit could actually play games...
It is for gamez
Or is it? Bitches!!!
oh good... i don't regret getting a PS3 now! whew, you made my day.
Yeah, I wonder why they were confused. It couldn't have been that first ad campaign. COULDN'T have been. I mean this just screams vidya games.
This is what happens when your console is a trojan horse for your proprietary disc format.
I can't say I didn't love that series of ads where that "do you want it" song was cranked and a carnival barker was giving me the "ladies and gentlemen" thing...That would get me pumped...But I still haven't bought one...
@ rockvillian - where'd you get the pic of my prom date from?
lolz, I see what you did done there.
Sure, it can play games, but I've yet to find one that makes me think buying the system was a good idea. Only the Blu-Ray makes it stand out for me. And even that is marginal.
Your making this up right?
How can you be confused as to what to do with the thing?
Game developers makes the games, movie makers produce the films were does the confusion come into it?
Game Developer 1: Alright folks, we have two choices. We can make our game for the 360 or the Wii. Thoughts?
Game Developer 2: What about the Playstation 3?
Game Developer 1: What the hell's wrong with you? You want to make a game for a Blu-ray player? Might as well make a game for an 8-track player for all the sense that makes.
Game Developer 2: Sorry, you're right. How about Playstation 2?
Game Developer 1: Now you're thinking.
I saw it on Destructoid so it must be a games machine. Or a robot... Or japanese... Or... um... GTA
Woah that thing can play games? that's the best DVD-player I ever bought then!
I don't see how it's confusing at all.
It's just a high-capacity, disc-based, end-all, be-all home computer entertainment system powered by unholy components made of unicorn hearts compressed inside custom-created black holes and forged by Space Leprechauns in the heart of Tijuana and sent to finally be assembled in Japan at a factory that makes hyphens.
Which would also go on to explain why future-proof exists as a word in our collective gamer lexicon.
DUR
I love obvious statements.
It's a freakin' Playstation. It's a brand. Did people think the PSOne was a CD player that also played games? Cripes.
In other words, it's not just a game machine, it's a Home Entertainment System. Entertainment includes games, but most home entertainment equipment these days can't play games. Hence, the confusion... among the home theater enthusiasts... like my dad, who was wondering why the PS3 didn't come with a remote control.
Didn't Nintendo call their first game system the Nintendo Entertainment System? I recall they did that, and created R.O.B., so their machine didn't seem too much like a game machine, due to the slew of crap that killed the game industry in the 80's.
