As much as we'd like this to be a still from a new, secretly-in-development Cronenberg movie, it's actually an image of the nightmare-inducing mechanical heart that stars in a new series of Sony ads set to air during England's World Cup qualifying campaign on ITV. The hook, of course, is that the heart is apparently built (by special effects house Artem) almost entirely from Sony gear, including parts from BRAVIA TVs, Blu-ray players, VAIO laptops, Cybershot cameras, PS3s, and even the odd Walkman. No word of any public showings of the heart just yet, but you can check out one of the commercials after the break, and another by hitting up the read link below.
So if I get this, will I be safe from the robots?
...Or will they think I'm just being a poser and zap me anydangway?
wow i actually need a heart transplant, i wonder how much lol
I don't know if I want to put anything made by sony inside me...
because of the warranty...
and it would only be computable with Sony's proprietary lung format.
Sony Walkman replaces heart, saves man's life, music is heard from chest.
Yet Another Iron Man.
Or the Mark Dacascos movie "Drive"
why are sony's ad campaigns so consistently terrible?
What the f....
Could of been worse. If it was made from MS parts, that heart would be infected with RRod's and an uncountable amounts of viruses. Talk about heart attack.
Unfortunately, it only works with a proprietary aorta.
Yeah, just like how the ps3 only works with the proprietary bluetooth headsets.
Yes, but will it blend?
and why would you want to know? o.O
wait you're one of them robots planning to blend human/sony hearts! >.
Tony Stark built this in a cave! From a box of Sony scraps!
Wow, that is actually kind of scary...... must just be the "music"/sound effects..... yeah, that's it....... too bad the videos are so short... what are the large outer plastic pieces from? Where is the walkman? I must say, it's creative!
