There's just been a cool PS2 advert on C4.

It's supposedly interactive and allows you to 'choose' fro mfootage of 3 games - GT3, Onimusha and Red Faction.

A series of 'votes' are counted, and - this time - GT3 won. Presumably they have another two to cover the other games.

Nice one Sony!

On the KISS music channel (I think) on Digital, there was an advert for one of the music generator games on PS2, I can't remember which (sorry).

Unlikely, Dav1d. It's just an advertising gimmick.

They almost certainly have another two adverts where footage of the other two games is shown.

I hate to admit it, but its true, I hadnt heard of onimusha or red faction but of course had heard of gt3.

Do you think they actually used real peoples votes for the advert, like did some survey or something before they made it?

HAHA! I saw that too.

I wouldnt be surprised if they diddnt have another 2 ads, the majority of people who dont have a ps or ps2 havent heard of onimusha or red faction, but have heard of gt3 and the hype around it, and they all wanna see it. Sony are presuming. (i recon)

Just seen it again... it's not "Xbox", but "Press box".

"Press box A to see GT3.
Press box B to see Onimusha.
Press box C to see Red Faction."

I don't recall hearing it, but I wasn't paying full attention at the start of the advert.

It's not something I'd expect, as you can't be negative about competitors products on UK TV.
