This one is simply titled Bambi (relatively tame)



The next one is THE WOLFMAN (Batshit nutzo)



The Last one is.....Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The Third Space

Man, the last one is like an advance trailer for stuff from Twin Peaks: The Return, 18 years early.

David Lynch only directed 'welcome to the third place', not the others

Wolfman was directed by Tim Hope, Bambi by Kevin Thomas

Edit - here's a HD copy:

Imagine a company making "the third place" a tagline today.

Why? I'm sure marketing people would love to use terms from urban sociology (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place) all over their marketing campaigns.

Oh, had no idea. Just seemed weird to me.

The hype train for the PS2 was the best of all time because people believed literally any shit your put out there and Sony took full advantage

Haha Starbucks does it. They advertise their locations as a "third place"

OP: the PS3 demented baby advertisements were way freaker. I miss the days when Sony just didn't give a fuck and had cocky, pretentious marketing

 

[eXistor]

Awesome. Though only the last one really feels Lynchian.

/edit: oh I guess he didn't direct the first two, makes sense.

Wow, thanks. I actually never understood what they meant with "third place" (and I always find that screaming woman/kid voice in that ad irritating). Now I at least get what the third place means.

Also, the last two videos in OP are weird as fuck. Kinda liked it.

 

[Necron]

I kind of want a return of this style of marketing.

 

[thomasmahler]

This is why the PS2 is the best selling console of all time.

 

[snausages]

Don't forget that one by the Windowlicker guy

 

[EvilBoris]

PlayStation Europe always had the best marketing.

 

[Deleted member 23850]

PS2 best console confirmed.

 

[Rowsdower]

Man these ads messed with me when I was younger. Especially the Third Space.

Well there was this. It's not as creepy, but it's similar.

Ah, true... I somehow completely forgot about this ad.
Nice throwback.

Yeah those ads in the OP are nothing compared to what the UK got.
