OH NO LITTLE BIG PLANET INVENTED MUSIC
That was a cool ad. POLOPOZOZO'S, compared to Sony, they rock at marketing, when Halo 3 and Gears we're launching you would have to be living under a rock in the middle of the ocean not to know about them.
Well I mean their PC ads are shit, and it's not like they made Halo or Gears.
But yeah Sony commercials for their consoles are just fucking creepy.

The main thing is they suceed. The laptop hunter PC ads? Apple got intimidated by them, asked microsoft to stop cause it hurted the mac.
[QUOTE=Macneil_bmx;16517724]You can only just hear it.[/QUOTE]
Still in there.
Seriously, the music? Don't a lot of gamers recognize that music with LBP, regardless of which console they use?
Little Big Planet is shit.
Console fanboys are shit.

The only notable ad that microsoft ever made was the hilarious fake fight one, and that got banned.
And knowing about a product doesn't mean it has good adverts, it just means it has lots of them. Would you call that Headon advert good because everyone knows about it?
You would only know that the music was from LittleBigPlanet if you had it and had played it to the point of recognising the music, in which case you would have a ps3, and probably not be buying a 360.

Entirely untrue, I know the music from the trailers and stuff, not the actual game which I don't even own. It's more because the type of music they used is entirely fitting for the game.

It's in most LBP trailers and ads too.

I hate the Wii and Xbox 360 too.
get it together is a song by the go team. It's not LBP's.

We are aware of that.
It's just that Microsoft are using the song that is used by littlebigplanet, which isn't the best thing you can do.

In the context of the situation this comment is quite possibly one of the most retarded things I have ever read.
No they didn't invent music, but it's their song. They have rights to it, and for Microsoft to use it to advertise their own product and make money isn't right.
I'm not saying fuck Microsoft, I'm not that into LBP either (it was fun for a while but eh), I'm just saying, your comment really is nonsense.
Xbox live is a piece of fucking shit.
Oh wow, pay to play online.
This is why PS3 is superior, just start the game and connect.
Instead of having to bother with paying.
Too bad Live>PSN.

PC elitists are worse than console fanboys, maybe it's because they're usually right or something.

You get what you pay for.

Can you back that up? From what I've heard they have very similar features.
I need to get this straight, because everyone rages about this ad is because it uses music from LBP???
I'm not raging, all I was saying is that it's funny because all that music makes me want to do is play LBP :v:
[QUOTE=Robber;16519890]Can you back that up? From what I've heard they have very similar features.[/QUOTE]
I don't have too much experience with Live but from what I have played on my friend's 360 it's fairly stable.
Network is a lot less stable from my experience. Not a day I've played the ps3 online where it didn't cut out with no warning.

This commercial isn't aimed towards you.
Anyone else would think its a nice song. I liked the commercial. I also see no shit storm; LBP doesn't have the rights to the song. As long as Microsoft pays the band who wrote the song in the first place, they did nothing wrong. The commercial isn't really intended for people who have PS3s anyway. It's likely that most people with a PS3 already have an Xbox or have decided that they are too cool for one. This is for people who are extremely new to the console market; they'll have no idea where the song is from.

Well either your connection is shit or that's a load of shit because I've had live since I got my xbox in 05' and my XBL hasn't "cut out".
-Ah bugger it-
This would be like if Sony used the Halo theme in their adverts.

no it's not anything like that at all
the halo theme is copyright

Sorry mate.
Get a better connection, just 3 minutes ago exact. I played a long and a fun match in battlefield 1943 without the slightest lag.
Also, the playstation store is so much better then XBOX live, you dont have to buy shitty points. On playstation you can just add how much you want into the wallet and thats it.
Like add 100 bucks, just write your card info and BOOM 100 bucks ready for use on PSN.

Nope. It isn't less stable at all.
I have a XBOX360, WII and a PS3.
The PS3 is the best by far. And not to mention you can rely on PS3 without the fucking xbox breaking down.
Who cares, I've heard the same song being used in plenty of movies, Both from bands like AC-DC and even re-used orchestra tracks made specifically for a prior movie
