Korean pop group, Wonder Girls, sing about PS3
29
The Wonder Girls are rather popular in Korea, and it looks like Sony is leveraging their celebrity to promote the PS3. The music video for "Now" has the girls seductively turning on the PS3 and wildly moving their bodies to control Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. (Maybe they're using SIXAXIS controls?) The music is a little unbearable, and the video is almost absurd, but it's fun to see PS3 break into other forms of media.

Awesome the idea reminds me of the wyclef fast car video where the PSP PS3 and PSeye and a few Sony TVs were featured while they played Burnout.

Nice homage to the Catherine Zeta Jones laser practice butt shot in the movie Entrapment.

"A little unbearable?" Since they didn't feel the need to use voice modulation to cover for a lack of talent, I'd say it's still far better than anything that has come out of the American music scene in years.

Huh? I though Sony froze production of Korean PS3s due to Japanese ppl buying them with a strong yen

"Wasn't Altair missing a finger?"
it could be Desmond's hand. they said that Desmond was getting Altair's skills through the animus so he might end up with a hidden blade

I dont understand Korean, but I dont think their singing about PS3, as you can see the PS3 is only to be seen in the first minute of the music video.

The music isn't THAT bad. It's standard K-Pop fare.
