I honestly don't see the problem with that advert, I've seen many worse that were a lot more in your face.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

They weren't ugly and Sony's marketing is good. Look at Kevin Butler. If you think they're ugly, that's because they were no more than 13 years old for pretty much all of them. If not, I regret to inform you you're coming off as a prick.

Calumon: Pobody's Nerfect you know!

 

[InfiniteJacuzzi]

For making games for real gamers!

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

I'm going to have to agree, they looked like adverage people to me.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

Everyone knows that the only people who use a PSP are supermodels.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Wait, there were like, maybe two washed up nerds in there. That was a actually a pretty wide variety of people, despite all of them being kids.

Normally, I'd think you're trolling, but even if you WERE I still wouldn't really understand what you were going for.

In other words: lolwut?

 

[Floppertje]

... you think the people in that vid are all ugly?
they're not. and in case you hadn't noticed; gamers aren't usually supermodels anyway. it's just a bunch of kids, get over it!

I think it says more about you when you the message you take away from this is that Sony markets to unattractive nerds. The commercial had a diverse group of young people saying they liked the PSP. The most contentious thing they said was "real games for real gamers", which might be an indictment of Nintendo's marketing plan.

But I wouldn't say anyone in that ad was particularly ugly, or that it only focused on "nerds".

 

[CrashBang]

What in the hell are you bitching about? They were just... people, normal people

Let's be fair. The ad was for the PSP. The PSP isn't compatable with the Playstation Move. Yet.

 

[dagens24]

God damned Sony, making me look at normal people. I got on the internet/ watch TV to escape reality, not experience it. Grrrrr.

 

[Black Phoenix]

They looked like pretty normal people to me. But then, I have a bad habit of avoiding any contact with the rest of humanity when i can get away with it (the internet notwithstanding), so my opinions may be somewhat off...

I use a PSP and i could qualify for a mental disability, does that mean im a supermodel now?

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

WTF? You consider those people, all of whom have perfect complexions, to be ugly?

Wait, "washed up"? How can you be washed up when you're still a child?

 

[godfist88]

I don't get it, those look like average people to me.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Nope, not seeing a problem with this advert. So I'm a little lost about this.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

I think you may need to wash your monitor.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

God damned Sony, making me look at normal people. I got on the internet/ watch TV to escape reality, not experience it. Grrrrr.

Right? I'm gonna go and write an angry letter. Those bastards, how dare they!

 

[NeedAUserName]

OH GOD MY EYES. THEY BURN. THEY'RE HIDEOUS!

Seriously, these people are just regular people, if not slightly pandering to the Geek/Nerd stereotype. And I'd hardly call Sony's marketing terrible, this is the company that introduced Kevin Butler to the world.
