Sony's "Dear Playstation" advertisements launched alongside the PS3 Slim, and have remained some of the best gaming commercials in a long time. This is somewhat shocking, since their ads from early in the generation were all kinds of terrible. Remember the white room? Remember the condescending voiceover? Yeah, it was terrible, very, very terrible. These, on the other hand, make me want to buy a second system.

First, they knocked out how awesome the price cut was; second, they showed how the online play has been improved; third, they presented Uncharted 2 in its wonderful HD glory; and now they're proving that they do, indeed, have games. Good games, too, something that they really do need to focus on.

I'm really... proud of Sony. I know, it's weird to say that, but this shows they've improved greatly since the snooty beginning of the console generation. They can laugh at themselves, which is awesome, because there has been a lot to laugh at.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER!
