Its not even on, why do commercials do that? Turn on the device at least. Any gaffer here into advertising? Can you explain why in most advertising they don't turn on the devices they are advertising?
Fun cheeky commercial though.

Makes sense to hire an older musician. He's used to using a microphone with a cord.

He's wearing the silent killer version, no LEDS or activation noises on boot. Extra $399 but worth it when moving from Britain to Wales.

Ozzy Osborne has sold over 70 million records worldwide. I'm pretty sure this online add will reach the demographic they're aiming for.

Next album will be techno, confirmed.

Oh, not commenting on his status as a music legend. He's absolutely there. Just that I found this ad quite lame (and unintelligible, because Ozzy). If we're talking celeb-ads, I thought the God of War one with Ben Stiller, John Travolta and LeBron James was much better.

One thing that hasn't changed about advertising is that they want to burn the image into your brain. The commercial works basically because yyou spend the whole time thinking "he's the last person I imagined getting one". It's a funny situation and it sticks.

NOW I understand why this thing is 820 bucks CAD.

They'll need a few ads like this and for dedicated games if they want more people interested.

What do VR and Ozzy Osborne have in common?
Most people wrongfully assumed both were dead by now.

Rhodes was truly the best guitarist of all time. True master. We need to find a necromancer.
That being said....ad was a bit corny. I'll always take the Prince of Darkness over Stiller and a basketball player though.

I don't think Sony Cares, they have loads of money these days.
I'd say Kevin Buttler on PS3 era was the biggest waste, millions upon millions and Sony was almost broke.

To say Sony doesn't care about a crappy ad is nothing more than deflection of a valid point. Their image is extremely valuable (just think about what you have in your head about Sony, probably really good), it hurts more than you know every time you produce something poor.
This is more important than the lost value of the ad.

The Ad seems to be a Hit amongst casuals, heck my GF loved it and she doesn't care much about games.
Yeah not my kind of ad for sure but you're trying to push an unreasonable narrative that the Ad somehow damaged Sony

If it gets wagglers back to playing games PSVR2 will be a mega hit.

As a playstation fan I am ashamed Sony would disturb the peace of the dead just for advertising.

For TV's and other screens it's often to retain the reflections if the screen gets inserted in post.
Sometimes the products are just show models since it's in prototype phase (this could be recorded 2 years ago or something). Sometimes it's something dumb like the famous actor doesn't like the screen on and rather has a black screen in front of his face or just a production oversight.
It's more surprising to me they didn't add the light in post.

It's not unreasonable at all and it happens in advertising all the time. No reason to get all defensive, Sony isn't flawless.
If its a hit among casuals, then it's failing. The target audience for $1000 worth of hardware and a mask you strap to your face to play video games is not the casuals.
That's the second reason why the ad is poorly implemented.

You can tell I'm autistic because I spent the entire time thinking "you need to switch it on first so the blue lights show all over before you can pretend to be playing"

If there is one person on earth who can see colorful pictures inside without turning it on it's Ozzy.

This move is for "mindshare" dominance. His demographic doesn't care much about VR I would argue, but certainly there are dads and moms among them and they are the ones buying the consoles for their kids. And of course there are us the old kids.
Make a Messi/Neymar/Rashford/Mbappe etc one now. The most effective would be Lewis Hamilton on GT7.
