Despite the mainstream message, both ads also have some value to the PS3 "core gamer" -- because they're pretty funny, if just a touch (or sniff) creepy. See them after the break.

I started smiling the moment I saw his name. Dear god, Sony. You've created a monster.

I want Kevin Butler to be in every commercial almost as much as I want Alan Rickman to be in every movie.

Ahh, Kevin Butler, never stop your hairbrained antics. Never.

The first one was very funny.
There are people out there who need to be reminded that the PS3 is a blu-ray player, and a great bargain.
Nice combination of humor and info.
The second ad is a bit too general for me.

These commercials are starting to a lose a little bit of their Umph! They were great when they started.

The sniffing at the end was a little inappropriate...
but entirely appropriate at the same time.

@Special Agent Steve If you've got Kevin Butler smelling your hair, you're obviously doing something right

Bwa-ha ha! The top picture's funnier after watching the corresponding video.

Well, I'm saving these for posterity. The Gran Turismo one makes up for these so-so (relatively speaking) spots.
I doubt Sony will ever have as good of an ad campaign as this one. Although it will be sad when the day comes and they become stale or out of ideas, it will have been worth the journey.

These are just to good, especially the first one, combine that with the GT5 commercial, and Sony's PS3 commercials are gold.
I have to find a wait to get em all, burn em to a DVD, and be able to watch em at home anytime I want.

Is it possible to have a man crush on Kevin Butler?

@Milf Biggenson : The proper term is Bro-Mance and yes, you're allowed to sketch Kevin Butler's name on your Trapper Keeper.
