Impressive. That pretty much sums up how we feel after watching this new collection of PlayStation adverts for holiday season 2008. The three commercials you are about to watch are all very different, but they have one unifying theme (well, other than PlayStation duh). They all utilize holographic images to show off PS3-exclusive titles. Our favorite one is posted above, which shows off some exclusive action titles: Resistance 2, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, and the Dark Knight film on Blu-ray.

Another commercial touts the PlayStation Network. It clearly promotes lively, social gaming as you’ll notice the happy people going about their daily business. It’s interesting to note that each person has their own holographic game image imposed on their bodies giving a hint at saying, “hey, we’ve got a little something for everyone.” A sharp contrast to this one is the next, somewhat dark series of adverts. It’s sort of eerie with its slow-motion and starry-eyed actors. It’s an interesting piece that asks you “have you made your wish list yet?” We wonder if you have?

Check out the other two vids after the break, or, get ready to see them on TV very soon.

It’s not surprising to see Sony placing PS3 advertisements in a place like Shibuya Station for the company has been making the Tokyo metro station tours for a long time now. Shibuya, a high traffic destination with ties to trendy youth culture, seems to be a plausible locale for such advertisements. IGN’s Anoop Gantayat, who took the recent photos of the ads, has translated the slogans and posted them on a personal blog.

Here’s a breakdown of what each one says. The all-caps words represent the over-sized characters in each poster. Clockwise from the top left:

• PS3 Console: “Everyone awakens here.”
• MGS4: “Finish the MISSION to completion.”
• LBP: “IMAGINATION that’s learned from play.”
• Blue Shirt Guy: N/A
• Lady Hugging PS3: N/A
• Girl with Blu-ray Disc: “Beauty like a DREAM.”
• Guy with Controller: “The PRIDE of exceeding super realism.”

It’s an interesting campaign to get people to buy PS3s. There was also a PS poster with Final Fantasy XIII’s “Lightning” on it. The slogan on that ad reads: “The COURAGE to seek truth.” Check that one out after the break.
