PSP Graffiti ads piss people off

Maybe they just need some good games on there that people think are cool? These ads just suck and are trying TOO hard to be... "something". Sony failed to make the PSP cool, and it's too late.

They also, IMO, continue to give the PSP and identity crisis. I know Sony wants to market it as the ultimate portable entertainment do everything devise, but is that working for them? I say it's not. Sony should have just marketed it as a PS2 in your hand. Everything else it could do would have followed.

I actually don't think they're that bad. I thought they were humorous in their stupidity (which is what they're going for) but there's too few of them getting played too often. They aren't as grating as those horrendous Radioshack Christmas commercials were but they definately need some new material.

The squirrel ad is dumb but I like the art, reminds me of Jhonen Vasquez.

But "PSP: It's like carpet you can watch outside" gets a big "huh?" from me.

Oh yeah and I love that game ad site, they even have flippin' Star Parodia commercials. Unbelievable:

... Those aren't bad... but as someone who would like to be given a reason to go ahead and buy a PSP these commericals do nothing to make me want to go out and buy one yet. ... Hell, if anything, I think it just made me want to buy it less. Gaming commericals need gaming footage.

Dear Sony,
Please get your goddamn act together or just admit the PSP is just the "walkman for the new age" and the gaming aspect is an added bonus for every six months.

Thanks,
Nick

Surely they could have found a better metaphor for the PSP than "portable carpet"...

Maybe they should stop marketing it to nomads and start marketing it to normal people.

What the hell is an urban nomad? Is that, like, a street kid in a poor area who spends more time roaming around then at his home?
If so, as said before, make it something they won't mind spending. "Urban nomads" use to bitch about a used GBA being forty bucks.

Some of them have game footage.
