OK, there is hope in Sony marketing. So far we’ve been happy with the new PS3 ads in the States and these Japanese ads are endearing — now if only we could scrub the PS3 Euro ads from our minds.We’re not exactly sure what’s being said (as our well-paid Japanese translator is in partying in Ibiza), but we’re sure our trusty comment crew can come up with some answers. We have a basic idea of what’s being said in the ad above (the others can be found after the break), as the father is convincing the mother that buying Ratchet and Clank for their son is a good idea — of course, in the last scene, it’s the father playing the game as the son tries to take the controller away from him. We’re just happy there isn’t any cup-stacking, bike-riding or defecating women in these ads. These PS3 ads have people talking, a little bit of game footage, and then people playing the system. Keep it simple, stupid.

This should come up under the tag search of mario.
