That's still a douchey thing to do, but at least you were clever about it.

It's all about the negi negi ramen.

Super cute but also super Japanese. Also, death by excessive features makes the PS3 a bit of a braggart.

For those who want to know the first commercial has the green onion trying to compare what it can do compared to the PS3. It gets upset and they have some back and forth bantering between things the green onion (negi) can make and the things a PS3 can do.

Second commercial shows the hot Japanese secretary giving the green onion water because he requests it, this is to explain why the green onion slowly dies during the scene. The PS3 starts talking about features, the video cuts to a few minutes later and he's still talking and the green onion is dying. Cute and commercial. But odd. :D

But oddness is why the Japanese people create such fantastical things.

@ArQuesta

Thanks for the translation.....I like the ads because it's subtle and it's not a typical 'video game' ad. I can actually see the "PS3 vs. an onion' ads working in the US somehow. Maybe have Kevin Butler make a cameo and water the onion.

AMAZING! I can't believe no one thought of this before. Scallions and PS3s are like peanut butter & jelly, bacon and eggs, marijuana and double rainbows. It just makes sense!

Hehe, my immediate assumption upon seeing the headline was "She's their new spokesperson?!" I mean, hey, she gave a concert in PS Home once, after all. Could happen.

I wonder, if for the scallion, the video of the leeks being cut up is like porn, or watching someone get murdered?

There I am, watching Top Chef, and a commercial break in so I queue up these videos. Both have the same commercial before them. Both also consist of commercials. I chose to watch 4 commercials during my commercial break.

I think I might have fallen for it, guys.

@DerickDBrown Use Mozilla and the Adblock Plus plugin. Best advice I could give anyone using the internet... I saw no ads other than the Japanese ones.

Same.

Along with every PS3 accessory there including the stand, selling my fat PS3 for a slim one, importing a green onion specifically from Japan, and place them beside each other just to imagine them arguing.

Yo dog, i heard you like commercials, so I put a commercial in front of your commercial so you can watch a commercial when you are watching a commercial.

"PS3 DOES WHAT ONIONS-DON'T!"

What do you mean that tagline doesn't make sense? Can onions watch Blu-Ray movies? Didn't think so.
