"Can anyone explain the "Third Place" adds..."

Anyone???

I really don't understand them./ They seem to say that after playing your PS2 you will feel a sudden urge to either dive into blood water of sleep next to the washing machine (the dog one)

can ANYONE tell me what they mean??

So theres your answer.

here's a guy who spends far to much time watching tv!

Anyone seen the "i am the wolfman" one. I mean what the hell is that all about. The first time i saw it i just started laughing and didnt stop for ages! Then i watched it again and thought the same thing. Every time i watch it i cant help but laugh. It was the same with th ps1 ads. Did any of them make any sense until quite soon before the ps2 was released. Does anyone remember th Crash Bandicoot 2 ad where there is an old man eating tomato soup. The first one that made any sense was the Dino Crisis one.
I think that Sony are trying to show that anything can happen in the third place and that it is the same on the ps2. They r just showing that many more games are going to come out and they are going to get better and better.
Although the ads dont make any sense they still show that anything is possible in a ps2 game.

If i could explain those ads, i wouldnt need to be here workin my butt off for free games / dvd's!

but they work.

its got use talking about it, so really the advert is doing its job... advertising

I think they are complete crap adverts that show no game footage and are just trying to sell the damn thing based on an image and that totally sux. Screw the adverts and what's the point in analysing them when they are crap.

they mean that the makers of the ps2 adverts are on something.

be it drugs, alcohol or their own mental self-pity ; we do not know

It means, if you buy a ps2, this is what will happen to you...

It means in reality and fantasy PS2 can go to both the places so it is in the 3rd place

the TV ads are trying to say PS2 is the third place!
and it seems the third place is bloody water, a washing machiene and a duck (the first add.)
