Official Super Bowl 42 Ads Thread - Blu-ray Forum

unreal1080p · 02-03-2008, 04:31 PM

Just saw a Blu-Ray ad during the FOX countdown and when the commercials were over, it said the ENTIRE countdown is sponsered by Verizon and.... wait for it.... HDTV & BLU-RAY THE FUTURE IS BLU

We should be bombarded with Blu-Ray ads for the next 6 hours

So much for that measily punny 30 second loser HD DUD ad later tonight

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

Saw the Peyton and Eli Oreo double lick league commercial... funny stuff...especially when Archie Manning (Peyton and Eli's dad) is shaking his head in dissaproval with his hand over his face

good HD can waste their $$$ and still wont amount to anything!

Kairav · 02-03-2008, 04:35 PM

I saw a BLU AD too!!!

PanamaMarco · 02-03-2008, 04:55 PM

I just saw a PS3 add for Blu on ESPN.

Lot's of movie clips.

ezcobar411 · 02-03-2008, 05:04 PM

This is a far better strategy than 1 commercial during the game.

Lee Christie · 02-03-2008, 05:09 PM

I really hope someone sticks the DUD ad on Youtube, I'm in the UK so I'll miss it. I want to laugh at their patheticness.

bbg · 02-03-2008, 06:57 PM

Been seeing this HD DVD ad about ... you watch the superbowl in HD ... and then what do you do once it's over ... watch movies in HD ...

what a horrible commercial ... if that's what Toshiba came up with they should shoot themselves ... again

It will be quite funny tomorrow when the media starts reporting the best and worst ads. They can knock Toshba both for the worst ad AND for trying to sell a dead product.

They should have done a Mastercard style ad: "Bribing a movie studio: $150 million. Airing a terrible ad during the SuperBowl: $2.3 million. Having millions of people laughing at you for pretending you hadn't already lost a format war: priceless."

mr peepers · 02-03-2008, 07:12 PM

i just saw that ad again and noticed something at the end, they list walmart as one of the stores you can buy an hd dvd player at along with best buy circuit city and one other.

isnt walmart only going to be selling blu ray hardware in their stores?

i thought i read something on here about that.

false advertisement maybe? haha

I actually hope they dont because thes free advertising, even if its of the worse kind.

alphapyro · 02-03-2008, 07:18 PM

that commercial has to be old, I'm positive I've seen it before a long time ago

Tanman19az · 02-04-2008, 07:15 AM

Why didn't Sony have any ads during the Superbowl? I was kinda disappointed cuz I had some ppl over and that would've led into a conversation about how awesome blu-ray is

PS34EVER · 02-04-2008, 12:18 AM

2.7 million dollars for that commercial?!

desmond · 02-04-2008, 12:19 AM

that sucked. also bad placement... makes dvd's look good. another scew up by shiba.

jq71586 · 02-04-2008, 12:34 AM

And it's all so clear now why Shaq's basketball abilities have fallen off a cliff this year.

He's a dual sport athlete now. Jockeying must be hell on his body.

dadkins · 02-04-2008, 12:42 AM

After the game, go to:

... for all the spots.

TheRealBob · 02-04-2008, 12:58 AM

I doubt that was the ad. The ad during the game itself is supposed to be a huge deal. It is almost always the world premiere of the ad, so if the same company advertises earlier during the pre-game show, they will use an older ad for that.

If Toshiba just rolled out one of their lame "gosh isn't HD DVD cool" ads and ran the same ad during the pre-game show, then that would be unbelievably pathetic, even for them.

(I still find it hard to believe that the advertising industry has actually made this such a big deal that people will blather on about how they watch the Super Bowl for the ads. Can you imagine anything more sad than watching a 4-hour show to see commercials? And yet they actually have people saying that. Now that is some scary power they have.)

I think I read 2.7 million was the "average" price. Average does not mean everyone paid that. I would think there would be some type of slot / market coverage pricing difference.
