Ads Across The Pond [UPDATE]

Is it me or have those of us in Britain been given the short end of the stick? Why are the American PS3 TV adverts slick and witty, while we have to settle for rather generic, run-of-the-mill adverts. Take for example the adverts for Uncharted 2.

Here is the advert you will see if you live in America:

And here is what you’ll see if you live in the UK:

Now I challenge you to find someone who prefers the UK advert. Does Sony think Brits incapable of understanding simple humour? Oh well, I’ve only seen the advert on TV once anyway. Sorry for the rant :P

Take a look at the other American PS3 ads and appreciate the sense of humour apparently only available across the pond.

Update: Kotaku just ran this story on the differences between American box art and the rest of the world for Heavy Rain. I guess we do have some things better than the Americans then.
