Wednesday 6 September 2006
PlayStation 3 is no punch bag, according to a new Sony advert - despite being horrifically priced and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:now hugely delayed - it's where gamers will be able to enjoy "real-time experiences," where your enemies are like📖 living, breathing opponents that adapt and evolve to learn your strengths, and prey on your weaknesses. Hit the movie tab to s❀ee the full video.

At first, the ad is almost unwatch🅠able - it's like an episode of Hollyoaks meets some home-schooling programme. But as the voiceover's 👍softly lulling tones riff on the meaning of real-time action, it's hard not to be drawn in.

Of course, there's less than 20 seconds of game footage and the idealistic rambling is Sony𒁏's after all, so take it with a pinch of salt. But we'd be lying if we said we weren't pleasantly surprised at how w♐ell the ad works.
