- alsazen, on 10/21/2009, -2/+50A very unusual way to promote your products, especially for Sony. Very entertaining though
- giz0r, on 10/21/2009, -1/+47Everything is much cooler in slow motion
- Awwzm, on 10/21/2009, -2/+26Man. I thought the PS3 was gonna go through the TV.
- return2sender, on 10/21/2009, -13/+32An Xbox 360 would break weeks before this experiment whilst playing ODSTeeznuts.
- Lemming882, on 10/21/2009, -1/+14Agree. I'm going to go home and pet my Bravia.
- brickwall99, on 10/21/2009, -3/+1625,000,000 PS3s have been sold and there aren't even any games for it LOL
What idiots!
/s - ocharry, on 10/21/2009, -0/+12You can throw a ps3 50mph?
- master69better, on 10/21/2009, -1/+12Bravia with built-in PS3? Bravia with bundled PS3? Bravia and PS3 with common XMB interface?
The Professor Langdon in me ponders, then looks at his hairdo in the mirror and quickly wears a hat. - mokom, on 10/21/2009, -1/+11i bet that ps3 still works..
- TomFrost, on 10/21/2009, -1/+10Calm down sparky.
- jbob2000, on 10/21/2009, -1/+10I have to admit, that's pretty epic.
- MAXAMOUS, on 10/21/2009, -0/+9At least turn the damn TV on if you plan on smashing something into it.
- TheObviousChild, on 10/21/2009, -1/+9Poor Bravia.
- williemain, on 10/21/2009, -1/+9They should do this more often, I want to see commercials where things get smashed more. Cars, microwaves, cell phones, you name it.
- SiSurfer, on 10/21/2009, -1/+9I want to see Mythbusters ramp this demonstration up until the PS3 goes through the TV
- Chewie67, on 10/21/2009, -1/+8I don't understand how this sells TVs, but I like it!
- sgxyay, on 10/21/2009, -1/+8I don't think you know what you are talking about.
- fms45, on 10/21/2009, -2/+9Its great for sure!
- Lemming882, on 10/21/2009, -2/+8Because the 360 is the most reliable system out there!
- goomba323, on 10/21/2009, -1/+7I think this was more of an advertisement in the durability of the PS3. I was very surprised at how well it stayed together. I was at least expecting the faceplate to slide off/shatter. A+ Sony.
- Darthmaul4114, on 10/21/2009, -1/+7"When in doubt, C4"
~James Hyneman - TnTBass, on 10/21/2009, -4/+9My PS3 died last weekend. This video has torn open that wound and poured salt on it.
- brickwall99, on 10/21/2009, -0/+5No, because fanboys talk(type text?) just like that.
- sentinel106, on 10/21/2009, -1/+5It hit the TV with a force of 796 kg if I'm not mistaken. That's a pretty tough TV if you ask me.
- monodelasno, on 10/21/2009, -1/+4Man it must be great to be so enlightened.
Somehow I think they've gotten your attention. - cthellis, on 10/21/2009, -1/+4I'm pretty sure it might be a bit wasteful to make sure your TV screens can handle up to 7744 newtons of force. ;-)
- Gustomucho, on 10/21/2009, -1/+4Well, they did get our attention... This is an Australia add and we talk about it worldwide.
Try to make a commercial with so much "impact". It's a win for Sony. - gumballer, on 10/21/2009, -3/+6This is more entertaining:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a07W2t2wcRA#t=5m00s - ldkronos, on 10/21/2009, -2/+5Good job, Sony. What a terrible way to market your product. Why would I want to go out an buy a Bravia now that I know a mere 50MPH PS3 can bust it open?
But seriously, an ad along these lines could have worked if you replace the PS3 with a Wiimote and the TV survived. - inactive, on 10/21/2009, -1/+3Where's that music from?
- cthellis, on 10/21/2009, -1/+3Bravias already use an XMB interface. The only thing they'd need to do is add more complicated chips and software to let it bring in more functionality. (Like web-browsing, network streaming, etc.)
- TexMexRex, on 10/21/2009, -1/+2They stole this from the Wii where owners hurl controlers intot he high end TVs all the time.
- Gustomucho, on 10/21/2009, -2/+3The pure epicness of this makes me want to buy one.
It was a true piece of art, shed a tear, will watch again. - cx0der, on 10/21/2009, -2/+3But Why?
- andrew606, on 10/21/2009, -1/+2am i tripping or does anyone else here the beginning of the song "the grudge" by tool near the end. at least thats it reminds me of.
- jaimequin, on 10/21/2009, -3/+3Actually it does. But if you have a PS3, chances are, you are using it to watch Videos from your PC or Blue Ray. It has wifi built in as well.
- markgl, on 10/21/2009, -1/+1Yeah other TV companies always smash PS3's into their TV's so it's not so unusual...
- gimmeagob, on 10/21/2009, -2/+2Well i don't know if it's really worth getting a free ps3 if they're going to smash the TV i just bought with it.
- startsomething7, on 10/21/2009, -6/+6Is this showing how easily you can break a Bravia?
- Khast, on 10/21/2009, -4/+4Hmm...that seems unusual for Sony. I figured it would have been an ad for the Sony Bravia TV with built in PS3. Sony is known for the all in one entertainment systems.
- BookaShade, on 10/22/2009, -2/+2I feel bad for the TV. It's a nice TV, why would you throw that piece of ***** at it!??!
At least that's one less ps3 people have to deal with. - VermiciousKnid, on 10/22/2009, -1/+1The ad got us talking about the product, so it's that's a success.
I wonder how many times they did it so you could see "PS3" clearly as it hit the screen. - monodelasno, on 10/21/2009, -1/+1Oh the Humanity !!
- Tiptup300, on 10/21/2009, -1/+1It's probably to show that they are merging features across Sony's products. It's most likely a metaphor.
- cthellis, on 10/22/2009, -1/+1That is immensely depressing. -_-
- fuzzynyanko, on 10/21/2009, -2/+2The PS3 is going to have a Wiimote clone soon, so maybe this is a precursor
- Georgy, on 10/21/2009, -2/+1I'd rather watch Saw 10 times than watch these beautiful pieces of technology destroyed
- Elranzer, on 10/21/2009, -2/+1Silly Sony. You're supposed to throw Wiimotes at TVs to smash them.
- zerohelix, on 10/21/2009, -3/+2how does this make me want either?
