Those are very poorly made "Ads".
If they were "real" it would say PS3. It looks like a sony fanboy that has just recently discovered PostSecret. Considering there is absolutely no thought what-so-ever that went into the ads, I would call foul. But if they are real, it sure explains the lost market-share and all of Sony's layoffs donit?

The tagline should read...

If you're that into PS3, you probably don't really have a girlfriend, and you've made the preceding story up.

:lmao:

Ouch was that a jab at me? LOL I was evaluating the Ad, I couldn't care less about the PS3 or Sony in general and Me and my fiance are very happy (She doens't bore me ****less

),

I have a wii and 360, so we are very happy there as well

They are indeed legitimate ads from India, not North America.

Then I'd be curious to see their sales figures for the region. They seem extremely amateur.

Or they're just several years old...

That's my guess, however, Sony is still selling the PS2 console, so it's quite possible they are still have some advertising budget for the PS2.

I have a girlfriend and a PS3, and all three of us coexist quite peacefully. Thank God I have the PS3 because it gives me something to do when my gf is busy since I can't watch any TV shows or movies without her getting mad that i'm watching them without her.

I couldn't even read it - too much everything. That makes it a bad ad.

No no.

Just a jab at tech losers like myself. ( I was just lucky enough to find a woman who puts up with my geekdom)

I don't see any misogyny in these ads at all.

Me too! She always calls me a geek, but recently caved and bought herself a DS and plays the Wii more than I do. But my most recent (and hardest) accomplishment, She bought a MacBook last week!

Now she's not so different

Yeah, I've converted my wife into a tech geek too. Now almost any gadget I get, she wants one too. I shouldn't even think about bringing an iPhone home without a second one for her. We had matching Palm PDA's, digital cameras and would have matching cell phones (I have a Nokia E61) if the news about the iPhone hadn't come out in January.

She also has a MacBook Core 2 Duo, which she had to get when I bought my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo. Now if only I could convince her to play video games...

Problem is, I don't want a Wii. So if I get her a Wii, then we'll have to fight over the TV, or I'll end up playing PS3 in my office while she plays Wii in the living room. I want her to like the kinds of games I play, not the other way around.
