On What Sony Connect Lacks

PSP Connect


It seems like Sony has developed a taste for the controversial when it comes to how they advertise their popular handheld console, the PSP. If you recall, we've made a series of articles covering this subject detailing how Sony has received very strong reactions from gamers and non-gamers alike. Both of which were appalled at the insinuation of the ad. And before that, there were the graffiti ads in the North and South Philadelphia area, that one caused an uproar from irate residents and city officials.

Now, Sony is once again in the frontline of attention with their rather interesting ad on Connect. Connect is Sony's music store built within the SonicStage music management application for Microsoft Windows-based personal computers. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it's the looming presence of Will Ferell on this picture that makes the carefree tagline worth a laugh or two... okay a snicker.

Thanks a bunch to Nugz for bringing this to our attention.

If psp porn sells, why not just sell it; they aren't afraid to do ballsy, if not retarded, advertising campaigns.

Connect is full of crap

Probably the worst software in the history of time... Why won't they release the ATRAC format so decent developers can make something better...? My friend bought one of those Walkman things and sold it two days later after nearly destroying his computer in a fit of rage, just because of the software...

ROFLMAO

This has to be the best ad campaign I have ever seen, since for the most part it is right on the money.

SonicStage

THe software coming from the MDWalkmans of sony, is actually very intuitive when veiwed page by page, but its transition and communication beyond a single page is where it fails the most. In other words, it a great program as long as you can get to what you need but good luck finding it because the layouts play tricks on you inbetween things.

You know what's dumber than the ones who go "first post" is the ones who consistently complains about it. Give it a break, ignore the idiots.

Will Farell

Who is this 'Will Farell' you're talking about? I only know this actor called 'Will Ferrell' and he looks a lot like that guy in the ad.

This article is retarded.

Let me guess..... You're the same moron who got all pissy about those harmless ads and then acts like the public at large cares much more than they really did, just becuase YOU think so, and becuase you're the voice of everyone else in the world? Yeah.. judging by your complete and idiotic lack of reason for those other pathetic "Why is this news" articles that you sh*t out of your hypocritical mouth, comes your latest attempt at pouring more bullsh*t down our throats. Gee.... is it becuase it has the word "Porn" in it this time? Or is it that you honestly feel you can make some kind of connection between OMG PR0N, and Will Ferrel? Jesus christ, you are a moron. I've said it before, and then I had to say it again. And you have STILL learned NOTHING. So, it needs repeating AGAIN. Get............over...................your............self. PLEASE. THANK YOU. Now, for the love of god, stop making idiotic articles liek this. You only make yourself look more pathetic with how you feel the incomprehensible need to strecth more and more and more with each pathetic new article about SOny and their g*damn ads. Becuase OMG PR0N! offensive!! OMG OMG PR0N!! OMG OMG WILL FERRELL!!! OMG OMG!! SOMEONE CALL THE POILICE!! OMG!! See how stupid that sounds? That comes nowhere near the hypcoricy and lameassness of your past articles on this subject. You seriously need to stop before people bust more of a gut laughing at you and you inane attempts to have a discernable point of some kind with all of this Sony ad bashing crap. Christ.

dumb site!

i went to their site hoping to download a video straight to my psp. but instead, find out it's a zip file. then it says that i had to open it on my comp and upload it to my psp. if that's the case i might as well just dl the video on my comp and watch there. not so convenient $ONY!!!! should be more like flixpo.com where you just download a video and watch right away right on your psp. btw i'm typing this on my psp so i just recently fond out.

No problem with Connect/Sonic Stage

Sonic Stage and Connect are a blast, and if you sincerely have much difficulty operating the programs, you should probably get some sort of brief head examination.
