Yea, it’s seriously lacking in the robot, motorcycle, helicopter, breakdancing, and dubstep department. /s

I for one appreciate a commercial that shows people using the product, shows the product name, and doesn’t blast my ears.

It seems like it’ll be easy to contrast the two major consoles this time around:

PS4: (probably) best exclusive game titles, moderate performance edge (DDR5 RAM), indie games
ONE: TV integration, Kinect, proven online platform, all-around entertainment device

PS4 seems the hardcore choice. ONE is probably a more well-rounded living room device.

Most of the images I can take a pretty good guess at (controller, PS Eye, etc.) but I really have no idea what that round one (last image) is!

I hope I don’t have to slide the top open like an old VCR.

I was expecting a strong North/South correlation. But it seems really more of a West/East thing.

As a Californian, I did have a friendly discussion with a female co-worker (from the South) who referred to a colleague as a “broad”. She didn’t think it was odd at all, but all of us West Coast natives thought it was pretty dated and out of place.

Some children (or adult children) die before reproducing. So for population to remain steady each woman must give birth to about 2.2 children.

Ooh the humidity thing might just be the justification I need to pick one of these up. Living in “sunny California” just south of San Francisco, there are days when there is so much fog, visibility is maybe 50-100 ft. Mildew is a b***h. It would be nice if there were Wi-Fi humidity sensors to put in the bathroom or something.

It’s not a product/feature ad. It’s more of a branding ad – to remind people that there’s not just two choices in the smartphone market. “Hey, Joe Schmoe – you’ve probably heard of all the hoopla about Apple vs. Samsung. Stay above the fray and check out a Windows phone”.

A direct better/worse comparison isn’t really the point of this commercial.

Yes I also laughed out loud. Especially the plastic bag around the head. I guess we’re sociopaths.
