    Haha Its deja vu all over again. I don't see why you had to be 18 to watch they didn't even show anything bad.

    But i must say this "God bless japan".

      There's an Age Gate to see that video, but the reason behind it is, not many parents would want their 10 year olds watching PRETTY women wearing something, that I assume is just a A3 silver/gold sheet of paper that has been folded around their privates and seem as though it could rip any minute....

    HA and there was me thinking Microsoft was bad yesterday when I found out they were using the "sex sells" tactic to boost sales. Well now I know Sony is doing it too with the PS3 I don't feel bad haha.

    People don't even seem to mind if the girls are hot or not, just as long as they are asian. Its so humiliating and disgraceful.

      Its not humiliating or disgraceful at all, its not like they nwere having sex or anything. If they were than yeah, but all they did was show some skin holding a PSP.
      Hookers are disgraceful but models!?!?

        Plus, Japanese advertisements tend to use Japanese models, what with them being native to the country and all. XP

    sony is for mature audiences. Nintendo had an ad like this too, comparing the ps3 to a fat smart chick while the wii was a dumb playful blonde

      That wasn't an official advert at all, it was created by G4TV and was a play on the stlye used in the Apple Macintosh adverts.

    Its not letting me edit for some reasons, so delete that someone if you can =]..

    I dont get what is with it. They are amazingly hot and all but it dose not make me want to by the PSP or buy the game they would be advertising, so why do they do this

    That is by FAR the best way to promote games. Maybe the will send a free toy with the PSP.

    It does work. Remember RGX Bodyspray with the RGX Girl? Everyone went from AXE and TAG to RGX.
