PLAYSTATION 3's Euro Slogan Revealed

GameJerk — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 20:53:04 MDT

Does anyone else find it ironic that it's the same font as Porky Pigs famous "That's all folks!" that ends Looney Tunes cartoons? "That's all folks"... that sounds about right... :)

Wasn't this the "weight watchers" slogan in the early 90s?

I'm not particularly sold on the authenticity, but I do enjoy the possibility. It's something different, if not unexpected, and it doesn't require two or three paragraphs explaining why you should like it.

@enigmanemesis

The copied mac font? You mean the one they use for all their marketing, Myriad Pro? Cause that font ships with all Macs.

one word: bullshit
Seriously it just looks like a cheap-ass job that doesn't resemble ANY of their recent campaigns. Oh, and the 3 looks like an inverted C with a ' on it

Oh EnigmaNemesis, your wiley anti-Wii comments at the drop of a hat are priceless. Good times, good times..

"This is Living... without a wallet"

I also could have sworn I saw this slogan or heard it at the end of a herpes medicine commercial.

in this claim "living"â¦ living means "hey, invest in the future blu-ray". i bet it needs up to 2009, to make this media so popular, that the people will use it and want to buy it for a acceptable price (movies etc). what will be the next motto for PS4: "Your Whole Life On Our Database-Server"? the PS4 official from sony: has no optical drive, all media through networking. why wait for the blu-ray, when you can have "HDâ¦"-streams online in 2012? this means, the blu-ray is the yesterday of tomotrrow. i will not use it - please sony, stop this crap.

Think of all the money they spent to come up with that pant load. People's saleries, focus groups, all the other slogans that they thought were not as good as this one. Think about it; if this was the best they could come up with, what did the slogans that did not make the grade say?
"SONY- four letters, just like shit"

I like it actually.

Remember that we haven`t seen the whole marketing campaign yet.

It could (possibly) be the greatest marketing campaign ever, and the slogan being really funny when conidered in a bigger context.

Scazza, I would LOVE to read a book chronicling Sony's 2005-06 history.

I'm simply stunned at how bad this slogan is. It's cheap-looking (perhaps that's the point?), it doesn't say ANYTHING at all, and it doesn't even do it's job of making you curious about it. What the hell is this? Amateur night? Utterly pointless.

From a design POV, that's a HORRIBLE font.

This shit just writes it self, eh kotaku. Seriously, you could compile a freaking novel on the sony "blunders" from the past year. It would prolly make for a decent read too. Something like:

"Marketing sinkholes: What not to do"

Does this mean they'll hunt you down and eat your heart if you don't buy a PS3?

Honestly, what's with the font? It's very 1950's Vacuum Cleaner Salesman...

You mean the copied Mac font they use?

Oh wow Kionae, I was just going to say that this font looks like it belongs on a baseball hat or jersey! First thing I thought too.

And no, even if Nintendo had produced this abomination I would still be thinking of baseball.

At least Nintendo chose a font that looks clean and is easily readable, I rather enjoy the Wii font.

Sony could have chosen a number of fonts from this page.

Of course, if it had been Nintendo who'd unleashed this, everyone would be fapping over how brilliant is is.

I have less of a problem with the slogan than I do with the font. What the fuck is right.

It's like they got Ben and Jerry or the Grateful Dead onto the marketing team. Nice.

nemyhlovecraft — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 19:56:44 MDT

I'm confused...

Is this emphatically trying to convince us that 'this' is in fact 'living', or is it indicating that 'living' is what 'this' is?

I'm utterly convinced everything to do with the PS3 is just a big conspirational joke on Sony's part and they're really developing something super-awesome that they'll surprise us with in November that will totally blow our minds. Because this shit is just too pathetic for words.
