Sony's dustballs gained some notoriety when they helped launch the PSP system in America. Since then, the critters have gone across the shore to Europe, where the poor advertising campaign has continued to antagonize unsuspecting Europeans. The latest ad featuring the hairy duo fails on multiple levels. Firstly, the characters don't even bother mentioning the product that's being advertised. Secondly, it's not even that funny. Shouldn't a great game such as Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters deserve better than this? For example ... America's shrink-ray inspired commercial?
[Update: You guys are clearly smarter than me! =D Great job figuring out that "size matters." Thanks, everyone.]

Again, I don't think these things are half bad. It may not have a point, but at least it's entertaining.
Also, I still think it's better than those Ratchet & Clank commercials...

I think the point of the scene is that 'size matters'. You know, the name of the game.

I very much prefer the other Shrink Ray commercial over the dust balls or whatever the hell they are. The dustballs are just plain stupid. I don't think they have really helped sell PSP or it's games.

Mmmm guess I disagree with most of you guys. I think this ad sucks. Most people won't even look at the PSP in the background... and the "protection" joke's pretty lame.
