New PlayStation 3 Ad Campaign Rules, Kills Viddler

Submitted by Danny_D on Thursday, 27 August 20097 Comments

Welcome back. You're a regular here, so why not follow us on Twitter too...

 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.

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

    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. :)
