At least its not Tombstone advertising or some craphead changing his name to "PSP" for a year.

Those tags are so stupid, I especially hate the one little freak which is licking a PSP. Not even good enough for hot topic tees. I wish Sony would fire Phil Harrison and Kaz Hirai, they are idiots and have no idea how to market and manage this system.

edit: And where are the PSP TV ads? The last one I saw was way back in March with the Franz Ferdinand track. The ads on Sony's site where people are simply throwing a PSP back and forth are dull as dust. Sony used to be almost as competent as Sega's Genny ad team.

Networking with the hip crowd and being streetwise sold the psx in Europe. I clearly remember how all the big underground DJ's in UK were on Sony's payroll, and by god it worked. Now this new campaign just seems silly and desperate to me.

I for one love my PSP. I just don't like the way it's being marketed as of now.

Not to beat a dead horse/topic:
Perhaps a lower price point would move more PSPs...

"I don't think that's graffiti," Griggs said as she paused beside the PlayStation ad. "That's art.

LAWL

that comment is wrong from so many angles.

And where are the PSP TV ads?

Playing constantly. I have no idea how you're missing them since I don't watch TV and I've seen about fifteen of them in the last week.

Almost all of them are primarily black-and-white animated sketches with squirrels or dustballs or whatever going on about how something they have is now portable (like with the squirrels they keep yelling about how they have nuts which they can take anywhere).

I can't believe how horrible and inept the PSP marketing is.

Hmmmm, now I am glad I haven't seen them.
