it's f***ing lilac!!!
I believed it to be a joke when I saw IT the first time, but Sony seems to be dead serious.
Just check the trailers.
Cliches and more cliches. Give girls a Hannah Montana-Game and they're obviously happy...
I'm really not a bra-burning feminist, but this add-campaign is an epic!fail from my point of view.

Wasted a few seconds on the quiz and got the result, every nerd should have:



And now I have to reinstall Doom3

While I have nothing against ooooh!shiny, this is fucking insulting.

They could've just added this to their list of colours (really now, nothing wrong with lilac, though I'd take hot pink or orange any day... preferably UV reactive :D), but... the game selection... are they fucking SERIOUS?!

They totally missed their target demographic, didn't they? I sure as hell don't know many girls over the age of 5 who'd play... that.

I love ooooh!shiny ^.^ The case of my new PC will be oh so shiny pink.
But this is insulting.
And I should take it as a bad joke, but for a lot of good reasons I'm really mad about this campaign. Too often I had to kick some guys' asses damn hard, before they believed that humans w/ a xx-chromosome can play games.

Ooooh!shiny computer shiny pink! *gooey eyed*

Seriously, I'd pay a lot for a pink case. Or any neon case, to be exact. Sadly, as I'm poor, I pay way more in what's inside than the case. :P

But this is insulting.

*nods* Kinda makes no sense... Just thinking about my taste... Uber shiny girly games are like... EW! True, I don't like shooters, but that's just my personal taste. Give me Starcraft or Dune 2 any day. *dreamy sigh* :D

It just makes no fucking SENSE!

Oh GODS YES! Or going component shopping with another guy, and the salespersons always addressing the male one? UGH! (And it's usually me making computers... :P)

AAAARGH - one of those salepersons had no idea how close he was to getting killed by a raging Kabuki.
I wanted to buy a new processor and needed a new mainboard too.
Original quote: "You know what a mainboard is?"
This was so epic!fail.
