Some pre-show teasing by Sony:

Apparently it you're on your way to LA for E3 you should see these billboards and other posters around the place.

I wonder what the "chang3" will be?

 

[Guden Oden]

HMMM, for some reason I like that ad towards the right better!

LOL. Wanna touch that new controller!

Man, Sony's campaign is ace. Can't wait to see what they have in store for us.

I love this feeling. It comes once every five or so years.

Thanks for the thread jvd. Good to see some 'good' moderation.

I think the main word on that billboard is meant to be read as LOVE.

triangle
circle
x
square

I think the main word on that billboard is meant to be read as LOVE.

I hope I`m not stating the obvious here. It represents the Controllers Buttons. Starting at the Top, clockwise: /\ O X []

I dint understand the "Welcome to the third place" Slogan either (is it: 1=Reality, 2=Dreams, 3=Playstation ?? ), so dont think I get the meaning

 

[NocturnDragon]

I have modified the pic, mirroring the simbols.

 

[Titanio]

Some people say the symbols vaguely represent "2006"

I wouldn't invest too much weight in that Apple/Sony story, though..

Thread has been edited to keep content on topic.

 

[McFly]

Yeah, it looks like LOVE as well as 2006.

Quick explanation of the Third Place campaign. It was based on a well known theory put forward by sociologists in the early 90's.

The theory goes like this:

1st place is your home
2nd place is where you work
3rd place is where you go to relax, unwind, recharge your batteries, do stuff that is not work or home making.

For the Brits the third place is the Pub, for Europeans it could be a coffee bar or restaurant, for the characters in Friends it is Central Perk.

So the message from Sony with the PS2, was that the console would be your third place, the place you would go when you weren't at work and didn't want to go home.

I hope Sony will get back to their 'Do Not Underestimate The Power of PlayStation' campaign, loved the first European commercials of that one.

I hope they only use this campaign overseas cause in America it will be read as "welcome to third place"
