Sony Mexico Adverts Are Weird
Kratos wants your mother in law.Published 21/12/2009 at 15:00 by Tuffcub
“A Lot” Of SCE Studios Adopting 3D [46]
GDC Sony Live-Blog [38]
Sony Patent Degradable Demos [32]
Sony USA and Sony Europe have finally got their heads around advertising and now have sensible adverts that feature the games and consoles rather than a David Lynch inspired advert that features a talking poodle jumping through a hoop made of cheese. Sony Mexico are bravely attempting to show the best features of the console and yet still be rather hatstand with their new adverts. The first features Resistance 2 and Terminator Salvation. A bit dull perhaps, but not that bad..
Now things start getting a bit weird. The implication from the advert is you can use PS3 video chat to get Chloe from Uncharted to straddle you and play horsey.
The surreal tag line to advert three is “Dance with Zombies before blowing their heads off” and features a picture that looks like it’s from Jackos “Thriller” but is not (copyright reasons I guess), and some gory monster thing which I think is from Dante’s Inferno.
Finally, a lovely picture of Kratos who has just chewed your mother in laws head off. How delightfully seasonal, nothing says “Christmas” like a severed head.

I think the gory monster (cyclop) is from GOW III though

I agree w/ you, if you look beneath the monster you see helmets, spartan helmets, GoW helmets

i like the ads’. The US/and South American adverts are much better than ours (UK). Of course the Japan section of the ad’s are the most odd, so they take the crown for weird!lol

I read the ads eventually and they are a bit crap! I started to have a bit of a daydream about how smart a Kratos themed PS3 would be!

I think they’re ok. They’re taking the slogan quite literally instead of just saying it does everything, which I think works. Better than what SCEE produced for 2 years lol

the quite frankly off their head ads were about the only thing europe had of it’s own , we don’t even have those to ourselves anymore?

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Why’s it in english, when it’s from mexico?

When you say it now, it’s so obvious. I guess that there’s Spanish ads which say the same thing as well.
