Re: So Dissidia 2 Bricked my PSP...

hope they make more AR cards and use them in more things, in the next gen of Pokemon, I think it would be cool to use the cards in some way. Pokemon battle on your Kitchen counter or side walk? sure.

oh my bad, though this was the 3DS thread ;p

uummmmm PSP bricked by an update? I have seen that happen to Wiis, PS3s, and 360s as well -.-

Well, if they're playing the AR archery game or Face Raiders - pretty much, yeah.

Nintendogs has a little bit of that as well, you use the AR cards to bring the puppy into your living room.

Street Fighter? Business as usual.

So people actually dance around their rooms while they play?

Re: So Dissidia 2 Bricked my PSP...

True that. Though the one commercial that like, starts in the 50s at a 3D movie and then cuts to people really animatedly playing with their 3DS's is a bit much.

Not really, pretty much everyone reacts to the 3DS this way. You'd be amazed how many 3DS converts have already been created just by playing the AR games.

Its one of those things you have to put in your hands and play to really understand it, not just have the idea of it in your head. Its actually pretty different from the kind of 3D you know.

Like "Holy shit, this sure is fun! I'll kick my legs out and dance around the room while I play!"

Yeah, the 3DS ads are pretty much the same regardless of region. Watch other people be impressed by the 3DS.

To be fair, its what's happening now with real non-recorded people everywhere now.

Re: So Dissidia 2 Bricked my PSP...

Every handheld commercial I've seen in the US has been of similar shitty quality.

Re: So Dissidia 2 Bricked my PSP...

Try telling that to whoever the hell they hired to do those ads. They're some twins who just started appearing on TV last year or maybe the year before that (can't remember) and have been plaguing the TV since. The worst thing is is that is how they actually speak.

I don't know if they're real or just very good trolls...

Re: So Dissidia 2 Bricked my PSP...

Some of the worst ads are the DQIX adverts by some fifteen year old boys in mowhawks with the worst fake american accents you will ever hear

American guys don't talk like valley girls.

Like, whatever.

It does baffle me how different these companies go by region at times - you'd think the corporate philosophy would cross over in places. I guess it partly explains why PS3's more popular in Europe than the US. But yeah, NOA's people area always extremely helpful for the most part, I only ever met resistance with them once but it was just the "I don't know so I'm going to say we can't do it" thing people do in customer service.

Sony do have very good customer support overall in Europe, especially for their Laptops and despite the above, are helpful with Playstation tech support (though whether or not what they do works andd/or is something you haven't already tried is another thing). They do have a pretty loyal userbase and SCEE does drop the ball a lot less often than SCEA and their representatives are a lot less embarrassing. Though that being said, the guy doing the video for Gran Turismo 5's ultimate collector's whatever edition for the UK was definitely cringe worthy. At started at him wearing special gloves to handle the box and went downhill from there.

The ads in Europe tend to be different than in the US too:

Nintendo - Markets to women but comes off as incredibly sexist and backwards since it tends to advertise games like Animal Crossing, Nintendogs and Cooking Mama as being aimed soley at women

The 3DS adverts are notorious over here for having a bunch of people claim that the 3DS takes it to the next level without actually showing any gameplay or showing off any of the 3DS's features

. It's just people saying how great it is. The game ads for the 3DS are exactly the same and never show any gameplay footage. The Street Fighter 4 one is probbaly the best one though I can only find the viral ads for it on youtube and not the TV ads.

Microsoft -

Sony - Okay I think everyone actually ignores their ads after they started to do pretty generic and unmemorable ads. They did have this one from five years ago though that makes the average Nine Inch Nails video look like Peter fucking Pan.

Thankfully it was banned.

Re: So Dissidia 2 Bricked my PSP...

Funny coincidence. The first Dissidia bricked my (6 month old!) PSP slim. I've tried unbricking it with a Pandora battery (a year later), but unfortunately, it's still a very expensive brick.

I've been using a second hand chunky PSP ever since. My hands hate it.
