I doubt it would appear on Guitar Hero, considering South Park is owned by Viacom. Rock Band is owned by MTV Games, which is in turn is owned by Viacom.

You don't remember the iPhone craze of 2007? They even have a section devoted not to have any iPhone news. That is how bad it was. :-P

Ummmm...your reference only is meant for commercials and advertisements. News stories and free speech are not part of it.

ThornedVenom: How do you know he is telling the truth about his background? You know people lie about their backgrounds on the Internet. I can say I'm married with a supermodel and make a 8 figure dollar salary. It is must be true because I said so on this model.

Fernando is one of the worst trolls in Joystiq and it is one of the main reason I rarely read the comments (and I don't think I'm not the only one) on this site. You're defending his lame actions of trolling every post related to Sony's posting. It doesn't helps his defense that he is usually one of the first comments in almost every blog post.

So what, blooh? Do you actually conduct a poll/research on your workspace? Did you study the buying habits of your co-workers. You're basing people's buying habits on your life. The world doesn't revolve around you. People in San Francisco probably don't follow the same lifestyles say Oklahoma City.

I know truck owners that are gamers. It doesn't mean my thinking is that the majority of truck owners are gamers. However, data shows truck owners tend to be young males. Young males tend to watch football and play video/computer games. (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0DE1DB1631F933A15757C0A9639C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=print)

In my opinion which probably be obvious by now, I think Toyota hit the nail on this. If you visit video game (i.e, Joystiq, Blizzard's forums) and "geek" websites (i.e., Digg) forums, it is popular. In fact, the commercial is currently on the most played videos in Youtube. (http://youtube.com/browse?s=mp)

By the way, I have a bachelor's degree in marketing but I'm no way an expert and not planning to expand my knowledge on the field i.e., going to graduate business school. No way even close to be affiliated with Toyota or the people who made the ad.

Oh thanks for stereotyping people who buy trucks as not tech savvy. I'm not a trucker owner, by the way.

As I previously mention, those commercials were aired during college football games. College students don't play video games?

Ummm...

"...apparently legitimate..."

It is legit. It aired multiple times on CBS during college football games.

Ummm...

According to Wikipedia's entry (I know everybody edits this crap so it could unreliable), only the Emotion Engine were removed from the European versions. The PS2 graphics chips were still in the the Euro PS3 just not the CPU. The CPU was software emulated. Wikipedia's source for that information is GameIndustry.biz/Eurogamer, which are pretty reliable. The new Euro PS3s removed both of the PS2 CPU and GPU.

Dean, just because you don't agree with his opinions doesn't make Yoon a "fanboy."

"Oh my god, he is belittling DS's graphics. Holy cow, if you look at his bio, Yoon is a Sony fanboy because he writes for Joystiq's PSP section weblog. Definitely a fanboy." Grow up. Please.

Yes, he works for Joystiq's offshoot, PSP Fanboy according to his bio but if you look at his favorite games you notice there are more games that he likes on *gasp* Nintendo systems. He is definitely a Nintendo fanboy, now.

I'm looking forward to see its shiny looks. So sexy....
