Page 1 of PS 2 - The Third Place..........WHY???

Hi,.....

I wish to know a thing about the PS 2 adverts on TV.

U know.... these PS 2 advert always finish with `PS 2, The Third Place`. What does that suppose to mean??? I just never get it.

Can someone tell me plzzzzz???

I was told by someone that this is because Sony sees the PS 2 in the 3rd plce after Game Cube (1st) & X Box (2nd). How true is this???? If yes,...I agree.

Cheers,
Hobbs

hhahahha Sony has already won the console war sonny.

sorry to break your heart but its true.

its just one of those daft weird adverts like so many, for instance what the f*ck has a puppet of a monkey got to do with Digital TV?

Well the new X-Box ad makes sense - "Life is Short". I bet thats what life will be like for The X-Box.

Most console ads in recent years have been a bit "arse", frankly. Sega`s "Do me a favour..." and "Cyber Razor Cut" ads were entertaining and to the point, but they lost their way with the "Pirate TV" ads for the Mega CD, and since then console manufacturers have been outdoing each other in "oh-so-wacky"ness and "just plain bollocks"iness.

Let`s face it - it`s a games console. It`s a box. You plug it into the telly. You play games on it (games footage seems to take a back seat in these ads, for some reason). Anyone would think they were advertising a new religion. "The Third Place"? Please!

Personally I think the x-box ad is a bit sick, but I think the message is a strange one for a games console: "Life is short". It`s hardly going to make you want to sit in front of the telly all day playing games - more likely it`ll make you want to get out a bit more and do something `real`.
Anyone care to comment?

Do they not mean"Life is short" so spend all your money while you can, and at £399 before games or accessaries, you certainly wouldn`t have much money left!

The third place is a marketing feature created by the guys who sony employ to think of wierd stuff that makes about as much sense as a sausage hanging of a string (watch freddy got fingered to understand :) )...

Basically its a load of bs which is meant to make you buy a ps2..

MUST BUY PS2, MUST GOTO THE THIRD PLACE.....

Hey,....

Still no one tell me what `The Third Place` means??????

This life, the after life, the PS2 life?
