why can't they run the commercials?
they will be selling the units for a while - it's not something that you only buy at the end of december
on another note, they sell them as they have them - and they lose 200 bucks everytime they MAKE a ps3, because they cost more than 800 to make, but they sell for 600 (profits are to be gained from games, movies, and accessories)
so they made over a million ps3 systems - that is a sheer loss of about a quarter of a million dollars that won't be gained back from selling the ps3 systems.
they make more as they get more money, and more resources. i would never allow myself to be caught saying that it's to peak interests, because that will show people that i have no clue what i'm talking about
they really didn't need marketing though - they knew that people were going to turn around and auction the first wave of defective units for sums that would double the xbox360's prices - that's advertisement enough!

Suspense, with suspense it makes people want to buy it in suspense. The more suspense the faster someone will get it. And so as much people can see the commercials as posible.
