Besides, we're all looking at their commercial now, so for them = win/win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollgagh Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 honestly I haven't really been keeping up with sony's recent marketing campaigns so I have no idea what you're talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 It's a surprise that they modeled their commercial after one so generic. If Burger King can get away with selling a meatier Double Cheeseburger than McDonalds' McDouble (formerly known as the Double Cheeseburger), then whatever who cares, this is stupid.

BooDidley7 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 You saying they should go back to the white room campaign? There hasn't been a good videogame ad campaign since the mid to late 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Burger King can get away with selling a meatier Double Cheeseburger than McDonalds' McDouble (formerly known as the Double Cheeseburger), then whatever who cares, this is stupid. Actually the McDouble ($.99) and Double Cheeseburger ($1.19) are two different items. The McDouble has one piece of cheese while the DC has two like normal. I know, it's lame.

Gollgagh Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Actually his name is Jerry Lambert. perhaps it shows how little I know about sony but I actually thought that he was a big part of the company that awkward-as-hell speech he did for sony's e3 conference did nothing to dispel this misbelief of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too enlighten people of this seemingly trivial but very important fact on almost a daily basis. No, I don't work at McDonalds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 You probably all know my favorite videogame commercial, and I wouldn't mind seeing it "stolen": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om84Zc4-KcQ You may want to turn down the volume becaue of the amount of awesome.

The McDouble has one piece of cheese while the DC has two like normal. I know, it's lame. The Burger King ones also usually have BONES in them. I despise the idea of getting burger king brand double cheeseburger because of the bones. It would be like eating Bumblebee Tuna and dying of an infected mouf. So let TV3 have their version. I actually thought theirs had more personality. SO THERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocifero Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 c'mon dude not that hard to findhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGZbJlpsohc I'm a busy man, but thanks. Seemed Sony was just milking him for his recent ads. The Burger King ones also usually have BONES in them. I despise the idea of getting burger king brand double cheeseburger because of the bones.

When I go to BK, I usually don't get those anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixto Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 wtf bones? When I go to BK, I usually don't get those anyway. There's lots of ground bone in the cheaper burger joint meats. This is what my friend tells me, anyway. He and his wife work in meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcana Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Isn't this more a homage through imitation than a ripoff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I have no idea wether Sony actually produces their own TV ads or not, but there might be slim possibility that they both hired an external company to make a commercial, and they ended up using the same "template" for both?
