Sony has unleashed a fresh TV commercial highlighting the multimedia capabilities of its swanky new PS3 Slim console.

Check out the video below, which follows in the footsteps of the corporation’s more humours attempts at marketing over the past few months. Appropriately enough, the ad comes just in time for Thanksgiving next week - what better time to invest in a PS3 if you haven't already been tempted?

    when it comes to ps3 i think it should just get to the point, and just showcase what everyone out there without a ps3 is missing.  the last few seconds of the commercial without the skit is good enough.  PS3 It does everything!

    Simple- Direct Marketing

     The Ad is crap wow it plays blu-ray they could do much better, ps3 has so much more stuff to it and people are clueless to them features.

    • 12:48pm GMT - November 21st, 2009

    @14 yes we know but if we listed everything that the ps3 did heads would explode, then there will be no one left to but them. One feature at a time there not ready

    That's a good commercial.  And a sweet grandma!  Only one problem: not even a half blind grandmother would pay any attention to Revenge of the Fallen!

    Finally Sony are on track with advertising, though they should really advertise more in the UK, and not just those 'START' ones

    I like these commericals especially this latest one but i think Sony should take its advertising more serious instead of joking around. Like showcase that PSN is free unlike XBL where you have pay $50 a year or $8 a month to pay online. Show that you can download movies, games, PS1/PSP games, themes, wallpapers, etc. Even the ability to transfer that content to a PSP.

    @7 That's silly, but one can wish :) You may want to try fixing it yourself. I read some had success by cleaning the old stuff off with alcohol(90 percent or higher is best) and then replacing it with a good thermal compond(PM me if you need to know what those are). If it works, you have a fixed(cheap-5 bucks or so), cooler running, quieter console :)

     these commercials are  funny but they should show the one with the 'ladies and gentlemen' song. that one was awesome

    • 5:29pm GMT - November 21st, 2009

    these commercials are great, they're all memorable which is what they need to get their point across. The public is dumb and they wont remember if you tell them everything the system can do at once. you give them several commercial seperately and they'll remember each one.

    Man Sony have came a long way since the crying baby commercials. I can't stop watching it, It's the funniest once I seen yet. There's alot of gaming commercials but I like to always see the funny ones. That one just about as funny as Crash calling Mario out in front of the Nintendo building. Kudos Sony.
