To be fair, the previous PS4 commercial was incredibly bad. With some Victorian-themed hipster talking about some nonsense while walking around... Sadly, they played it 1000 times during the NBA finals.

Can't see this commercial due to youtube restrictions at work, so I will have to check it out later. Probably will see it Thursday during game 7 though.

How is that fair? How does one bad commercial balance out another, let alone from the same company for the same product?

This commercial was cringeworthy.

They set the history of bad commercials already. After the first being bad, you can't expect the rest to be better.

Their marketing team must not be very good. But at least they are not as bad as Samsung's "hey let's make fun of the iPhone" commercials. How desperate can you get to make fun of people waiting in line to get a phone when nobody is waiting in line to get yours. >_>

Haha, true. While I do find Samsung's commercials amusing, I despise the tactic. If your product is so awesome, just promote the product, the awesomeness will take care of the rest.

As of this morning, GameStop management has confirmed that they are not currently taking reserves on Xbox One. No official explanation has been given for the removal of the SKU at this time, and GameStop has not clarified whether or not they will re-open the reserve list at a later time. PlayStation 4 is still available for reserve, and Sony recently announced that GameStop has pledged to buy every PlayStation 4 they can get their hands on.

maybe they were like:

GS: Hey MS, turn off this BS DRM crap or we won't carry the Xbone
MS: Nope, Sorry. EA wants this on.
GS: OK, GTFO

I saw this video a few weeks ago. It is bad, but not bad enought to make me cancel my pre-order. I am really hoping that I am just not catching the sarcasm, because that would be pretty pathetic.

We are talking about Apple cultist. They have to be deprogrammed, not advertised to.

And that PS4 Ad was so bad, it gave me cancer. New PC build is looking better all the time. As to not being able to play exclusives, I will get over it...OK, over it. Maybe down the road, but for now, I am not feeling it with the next gen consoles. Though PS4 is much closer to getting my money than XBone is, at this time.

Oh geeze...don't watch the damn commercial then...my god.

with the stupidity seen on these forums since e3, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if someone seriously changed their mind about the ps4 after seeing a commercial for it.

I think advertisements are largely for morons. They can't change the facts at hand, the system either does and IS what you want, or it's not. Research and first-hand experience FTW.

The best commercial possible for PS4 would simply be listing all the details about the XB1.

that would be pretty epic. Sony could just show a commercial of MS's E3 announcements and then show the PS4 logo with "LOL @ MS".

Sarah Greene is pretty smokin'

Yeah, it made me hate the guy even more. If an ugly girl sent me a message I would toss the controller out the window and try to get some action. Or maybe the point of the ad was if you have a PS4, you get hot girls messaging you. I better hold onto my preorder, just in case. The closest I got to any action on PS3 was in Burnout. A guy pointed the camera at his naked, hairy ass. So when you did a takedown on him his ass would flash on the screen. The bastard would even drive slow to make it easy for you.

lol Well, all Sony would need to do it put out a good commercial, and the people who cancelled will order 2!

1) It was a joke (sorta)
2) I already saw the commercial and cannot 'unwatch' it after being disgusted by it
3) The comment was borne of a sentiment rooted in wanting to punish companies that employ douchebags for promotional videos and other materials
4) If I do want a PS4 while not supporting Sony, I can always by it (and games) second hand in the future.

lol "Clearly Sarah Greene will come with every PS4. I did not see a disclaimer against it so now as a consumer I expect it."
