A lot talk is going on about the Blu-Ray and its viability as a new medium. Despite detractors saying that Sony is once again putting all of its eggs in one basket, it's nice to see that Sony is making a decent push for the medium.


Below is a "high concept" advert for the Blu-Ray that Sony has released. It starts out slow, following a guy walking into what looks like an antique shop. Nothing much happens really, the camera just focuses on really old stuff. It then transitions into an AVP like presentation of the advantages of Blu-Ray. Nothing you haven't already heard about the Blu-Ray. Play the video to see for yourself.


They really are pushing the "DVD is antiquated, The Blu-Ray is the future" angle of theirs, aren't they? Will the format fly? Only the consumers will decide.

They need to cut out the first five minutes and just leave the video diagram of the 25 CDs turning into 6 DVDs, into the one blu-ray disc. And have Killzone, Lair, and some scenic HD video over the down-tempo music for another 15 seconds.

love the music in the background.
more than an advert, it's a short film. and many find it quite boring for that matter.
I liked the overall idea and all. I didn't like the idea in the end, where the discs come out. it seemed so out of place with the initial presentation, but overall good.
