Unique PSP ads hit the street in Amsterdam

Starting today, the White PSP is available in Europe, and Sony has been at it again with their unique style of advertising. Instead of putting up a boring old billboard poster (or painting graffiti on buildings to the dismay of locals), Sony decided to advertise the launch of the white PSP in Europe using nothing other than a Zebra crossing. It's quite ingenious if you ask me. There's outlines of the PSP on the white and black lines, representing both the White and Black PSPs. At least it seems Sony learned from their previous mistake - these "graffiti stickers" are easily removed.

Thanks for the email Gieleuh!

» who gives a crap about short *****ing descriptions

I can see it now:



"Locals are angered and outraged at creative talent going into advertising and demand 'grafiti' be removed immediately pending lawsuit"

People who are intolerant of other people's cultures...and the Dutch.

Nice advertising, but better buy a 1.5 PSP than a white one

1.5 ceramic white PSP's exist. A little tooo pricey for me though.

» white PSP

all ceramic PSP's came in 2.0 when they first came out.

Just downgrade it to 1.5 DUH!

and 1.5 sucks now. Use 2.0 eboot loader, its better.

» geez

STUPID!! Other ads ? On the street ? DAMN..very stupid thinking!

by MDCosta911 - 2006-05-15 14:13
» uhhh

1.5>2.0 i do believe. iso launchers.. yeaa.

» Great

Great, now people will be staring at the ground while crossing the street, creating moving targets for careless drivers.

I was thinking the same thing!

Some kid will be staring on the add and BAM! O_o

by Chainsaw - 2006-05-15 18:28
» Yes...

Yes I know that 1.5 white PSP exists (and also downgraded 2.0 Versions). And I like the 2.0 firmware with ebootloader too. But we 1.50/2.00 users can change between thes two firmwares so often we want. Or with the Firmware Launcher, we 1.50 users can also use firmware 2.0 and the webbrowser without updrading... Black and white PSPs are cool, and firmware 1.50 and 2.00 are cool ! The other posts are also right: Advertising on the street can be dangerous.
