New PlayStation 3 Ad Campaign Rules, Kills Viddler

Submitted by on Thursday, 27 August 20097 Comments

 New PlayStation 3 Ad Campaign Rules, Kills ViddlerWell don’t look so shocked former Geico Guy turned PlayStation’s new VP of Enough is Enough/Director of Rumor Confirmation, these ads are just too awesome for one site to host and we think you knew that.

That’s right, the US PlayStation.Blog favorite video service Viddler has buckled under the awesomeness of Sony’s new PlayStation 3 ad campaign.  YouTube must be giggling right now.

While Viddler is hard at work recovering from the millions (and millions) of visitors eager to take a look at the two new PS3 adverts, we are here now to tell you what is obviously clear.  The direction taken by Sony with Deutsch LA’s ad wizards is brilliant.  Hey, they should make me the VP of No Duh.

Rest assured, as soon as Viddler rises from the ashes we will add fuel to them in the form of even more links to these magnificent videos to kill Viddler once more.  PlayStation 3, it really does everything.

$299? What $299?

Come on! (PS3A Favorite)

The one that started it all.

Wow, At last the day has come when I can say; Sony that advert is awesome!

Hi Danny - Thanks for the post regarding viddler. As one of the founders here at Viddler thought I would clarify a few things on what happened:

a) we did go down
b) it wasn't due to load issues

Why did we go down?
We had some dependencies between our main servers and the viddler blog in such a way if Viddler blog failed the entire website went down (outside of our normal backup procedures). We have since taken away this dependency and looking for any others as well.

Will be writing a post on this shortly (on our blog), we'll make sure to reference this post. :)

Awesome stuff, sandieman!

Thanks for joining in on the comments and clarifying that.

Out of interest, which of the three vids are your favourite?

I love the 1st one because on of guys on Viddler team name is Bernie and he is a PS3 fanatic.

Yup, we're glad to know that Viddler can handle all that PS3 awesomeness after all. ;)

I guess you all know my favorite by now. :D
You don't?
Come on!
What's wrong with you?

Oh, and do drop Bernie our address. We got some fellow fanatics in the team as well. VP of No Duh, I'm so right for the job. :P

How long before someone sues them because they can't get their PS3 to do the washing up for them?

Come on!

Get that guy some scented candles.

What's wrong with him!?
