This lass is a processor...
Sony has made its first advert for the much anticipated (unless you’re Gabe Newell of Valve apparently) launch of the PlayStation 3 available on Gametrailers.
But hell’s bells, you’ve no need to move from your cursor in order to see it at the bottom of this story.
The ad’ features the usual Sony whacky, off-the-wallisity; this time you have to imagine a chick in a brown t-shirt is the Cell processor. And that the Cell processor moves a set of plastic beakers around a table. Apparently the brown-t’ed lass can process ‘a million things’ around her. Thankfully the Cell inside the PS3 can do a damned sight more.
The advert finishes with some Motorstorm footage – which is always good – but does not confirm the release date that’s certainly going to be March 19th... no really, we're kidding. Or are we...?
The countdown is now on to see who can get the first spoof up on Youtube.

Well, that was craptastic. Sounded like a bloody advert for Cisco Systems. Jesus. And was it just me or were the other people - I'm assuming in marketing terms it's supposed to identify 'the competition' - doing that cup stacking thing just as fast as the 'Cell Girl' was?
Just too confusing, because of the edits and slow motion parts it never really spells out that Cell is supposed to be 'better'. But then again maybe that wasn't the point. If it wasn't then that's very unlike Sony. If it was, then Sony are really really poor when it comes to advertising these days. Blimey.
Motorstorm looks good though.
