They're simply competing, not one being better than the other. We need to focus on the fact that the people in the pictures represent the PSP systems, not their own race. There's nothing racist about that. wow......now everyone is like misconceptuated(SP is that a word?) but I still rock the White one! bought mines from an import place online. |

I barely saw the black person in that picture but yeah it just depends on your mind set on this. If your a raciest person then you'll see it as raciest

It's borderline. That would offend me. The ad sends the wrong message.

Is there something I'm not seeing on my tiny Blackberry screen? I don't find it offensive at all. *shrug* I suppose it's up to intepretation and personal feelings, though.

WTH. I didn't even see the Black person until I saw James's post. Um. Yeahhh, if it wasn't for the face-holding, it's not bad at all.
 And um, I clicked on the image links from airim's post, but I got nada. ): OH, and the ad doesn't even seem very effective, anyway. |

It's not really offensive to me, but I see how people could be offended...not that I think they should.
It's not that great an advertisement anyways. |

Wellllll...
The ad definitely could've been done differently. I can see where the controversy would come from, but don't the people symbolize an object and not a race?

And no i'm not hating on black people. i would like it even if a black girl was holding a white guy's face. either way, i love it. and i'm sorry some of you are offended by it. |

Wow, old topic. =O
I don't see this as racist at all. I think that they were just trying to use contrast for marketing purposes. Sometimes I think people are far too quick pass judgment. |
