elmuerte Posted August 15, 2006 Now I'm convinced, going for the Wii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted August 15, 2006 Wii is such a whore. That is the main problem with both the Mac ads and this one, that I get to appreciate the guy that is being lampooned more than the guy who is supposed to be cool. My idea of cool is neither a snooty selfrighteous punk nor a stripper, apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miffy495 Posted August 16, 2006 I'm with you on this one, Kingz. While I was convinced about Wii over PS3 a long time ago, this one just makes them both look like shit. Buy a PS3 and be bitched at and dominated (although that may be your thing... ) or buy a Wii and get the clap. Also, the Mac users that they show in Mac ads are the reason Mac pisses me off. Perfectly fine machines/OS, but frustratingly hipper-than-thou users/zealots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Posted August 16, 2006 I was sort of repulsed by both, but ended up feeling sorry for the PS3 lady. I might not get either console (edit: I'm quite certain that I'm not getting a PS3), but that's neither here nor there. Maybe this was directed at the Xbox360 jocko/game-o crowd.

elmuerte Posted August 16, 2006 I'm pretty sure I won't get an PS3, XBox3600 or even a Wii. But I'm considering to buy a Wii. But the main reason would be the ability to play old games and not the wiimote. Just noticed something... wtf is xbox360 in that movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted August 16, 2006 Wii is a stupid slut and Mac is a smug bastard. Every single mac ad and most mac users have made me want to buy one less and less. I don't have anything against macs; I am even considering gettting one. I'm just afraid that it will turn me into a fanboy whose every computer related conversation has to do with how cool macs are compared to pcs and how Microsoft has copied everything from Apple. I'm so glad that Nintendo hasn't decided to use similar ad campaign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpiderMonkey Posted August 16, 2006 If we're going the serious-evaluation route, I found the "I'm large and in charge" to be much more annoying than "I'm cute as a button", but like some of you say, it was a bit of lesser of two evils kinda thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted August 16, 2006 I don't have anything against macs; I am even considering gettting one. I'm just afraid that it will turn me into a fanboy whose every computer related conversation has to do with how cool macs are compared to pcs and how Microsoft has copied everything from Apple. Sadly, this seems to be the way of things with the FCP (Fruit Computer People); complete and unfaltering indoctrination into Jobsism. I know a *lot* of techy, designery types and not one of them passes up the chance to bang their Apple drum, given even the most obscure opportunity to do so... It's quite scary to be honest. And yes; that PS3/Wii spoof's total Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
