Back in high school we had a PR guy visit. He told us all the goal of a comercial is to get your attention. That's rule #1. Anything past that is secondary at best.

The PS3 commercials... They give me nightmares.


Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go curl up in the fetal position by my fireplace

Do you not know what the point of advertising is? By discussing this topic you've proven that their ad is actually a pretty good one. The point of advertising isn't to make you necessarily say "Hey, I want that!", the point is to make you remember what the ad is about. Obviously with so many fanboys on here, it's not going to affect you, but people who aren't diehard into computer games may see a PS3 in a shop and say "Hey, I remember seeing an ad for that, must be pretty popular, I'll get it."

And as for the actual advert, it does exactly what it's meant to: get your attention.

Well, if they see a PS3 in a shop, they wouldn't exactly think "must be pretty popular" when the see it accompanied by 25 other PS3's

yeah, when i walk into an electronic store and see 15 laptops behind the shelf, i automatically think it must not be popular... (thats how rediclous what you said sounds).

Most businesses wont display a ton of PS3s, thats what stocking is for. General business practice is to put only a few out on the floor at any one time.

Shift i think you misunderstood what he said lmao

He is trying to say if i'm not mistaken. He is trying to say that not because there are 25 ps3's in a shop. That doen't mean people will say it must be pretty popular. So from what i can gather. He is saying that not because something has a huge quantity on the shelf, doesn't mean people will say it is popular.

But hey we could wait to hear from him. But i honestly think you misunderstood what he said. No offense taking shift

Or they'll say "Hey that machines for babies, I saw it on tv."

lol ok, how was that different from what i said. You dont give me enough credit. I understood exactly what he was getting at, maybe you dont understand my responses.

Im saying that I can also walk into an electronic store, see a dozen dell laptops in boxes stacked up and think that it must not be popular because the store ordered a lot. Im showing theres something wrong with that logic.

Anyways, keep trying to find something on me. You might get lucky one of these days.

i know what you are saying. But his statement is saying more of that not everybody will think the way Chaz said............ But not because something is on the shelf that doesn't mean it is popular. But yeah they dont put all on display at one time. you are right. But not because there is alot of something that won't cost me to buy it.....but notice hwat thatguy said completely.

they wouldn't exactly think "must be pretty popular" when the see it accompanied by 25 other PS3's.

Which still leaves room to say they might have a slight idea in their minds. The exactly word is what leaves room to say they can still think that way but not exactly like how it is worded..... so that's why i meanly think you misunderstood
