Thank you for the tip.
But I still don't get the ad. What's supposed to be on Page 3 everyday?
Why the Rosie reference?

I wonder if the Irish edition of the Sun has that ad. Doesn't really work as well if we don't have Page 3 any more.

Page 3 usually has a glamour model photo with her tits out. Alongside it is an enlightening quote from the model on a news story which is what everyone checks out page 3 for.

Topless models. Commonly referred to as "The page 3 stunner" its the natural progression for ambitious 18-24 year old girls looking to make the big bucks marrying a league 2 footballer.
Its also the single most viewed newspaper page in the country.

Holy shit. That should sell some PS4s right then.
"I want my TITTIES!"
"Oh...PS4?"

Could Wii U have had a shock sales boost in the UK, preventing Sony's latest from overhauling it on day one?
OH, THE (false) DRAMA!

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
Oh man, a great play on the Channel 4 stings, took me a second to spot it.
That is also brilliant.
You guys really did have your bowl of awesome for breakfast didn't you?

That's the crazy thing, they're spending a shit ton today advertising something you can't buy.
If people want it and cant buy it, that will start an avalanche of secondary news reports, and hype will grow. The more people cant get it, the more hype.
People want things they can't have.

This is brilliant. Love it. Sony's UK marketing team is just on another level compared to the competition.
what an amateur (fixed)
First I was like "am I supposed to see anything there?" and then "oh... clever".

Wow, Sony are actually marketing the PS4. I'm amazed.
What is it?
Its a Channel 4 ad. Look closer.

Page 3 ad is almost perfect, except that according to Wikipedia, Rosie Jones is 23 (born July 1990).
I guess peole not living in the UK won't get it at all, yeah...
Anyway, Channel 4 has been having these cool idents for a while, where bits come together to create a big "4" through a perspective trick.

As a former fan, if I still bought that shitrag I'd be annoyed that PS4 took away my daily boobs. Sony's first marketing mis-step right here.
I'm kidding about the mis-step but not the annoyance.

UK players have a heart of gold. They shouldn't let Microsoft take it from them.

All the hype and ads is good and all, but I reckon they shipped only maybe 200, 000 PS4s to the UK? If that. But that would still be enough to beat UK 185k Vita record of course. Cos you can be sure every single one will be snapped up.

Ah yes, I see it now
But if you buy the Sun, page 3 is probably a big reason why. No page 3 = disappointment. The actual stories in there are mostly shite after all. I used to buy it in the days before copious free internet porn, and before I was married, so maybe I would feel differently now.

Did this air on tv or was this just created for our pleasure?
Both, I think.

The PSP has the record at 185k after 4 days, the Xbone's numbers (150k) are after 2 days. The article states the Xbone may have surpassed the PSP's numbers, they just don't have the 4 day sales figures on the Xbone yet to know for sure.

Holy shit. If they sacrifice the game looking like this for all the people whining about wanting 60fps then I'm going to be seriously mad. This is on a whole different level to everything else.
