PlayStation Move ad mocks Wii and Natal

The latest in Sony’s series of Kevin Butler TV spots highlights the recently announced PlayStation Move, and pokes fun at the Wii’s lack of 3D tracking, and the Natal’s lack of buttons.

Sony is starting to really nurture the whole cult following that the character in its TV spots, Kevin Butler, is developing. You can even follow him on Twitter now. In his latest spot (below) he sends a “message from the future” (November 2010) thanking gamers for the success of PlayStation Move, and mocks other motion control devices for making you “pretend your hand is a gun” before asking, “what is this? Third grade?”

2009 Los Angeles Auto Show

If the North American auto show season has an official kickoff party, the Los Angeles Auto Show is it. In addition to world debuts of the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe, 2011 Toyota Sienna and VW Up! Lite Concept, the 2009 LA Auto Show again played host to the Green Car of the Year announcement, which went to a diesel car for the second year in a row. The LA Auto Show is also a first chance to see and touch the cars unveiled around the world in the eight months since the New York Auto Show, which this year included jaw-droppers like the 2011 Lexus LFA and 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
