Changed perception? That has to be insane. Just a mere funky web page and you go from not interested to wanting to buy? Good grief. I am stunned that a mere web page can do that for any one in actual reality. You seem far too easily bought. Here, have a shiney thing, there you go...... I had no idea people were so easily manipulated, and equally happy to say so in public. I really don't get on with these scroll down…

Chris, I don't agree, it's you that should be ashamed: Expletives say the most about those who use them, not much about anything else.

Interesting experiment, but even chugs along on my latest generation rMBP in Chrome. Meh

Weird. It's fast on my Thinkpad X201s from aeons ago (running chromium).

I have a 3y old 1.3GHz cpu with integrated graphics only on Gentoo, but it's so smooth, I can't believe it's not a video! How do they make it so smooth?

When I click the last page button on the right side, it runs smoothly through all animations, same when happens when I scroll around. Can't wait to see someone make a blog post on: "This is how Sony exploited HTML5 to run Smooth Parallax Effects on their Page".

I ran it in Firefox with about ~100 tabs open having over a dozen addons, an IDE opened and npm install running in the background.

The Good: Really changed my perception of Sony as a brand. They're a lot more experimental and ahead than I though. I feel like going out and buying a PS4 honestly. Great job on the marketing team. (I actually watched the videos and was... "moved", wireless lens, underwater ear buds, 3d viewer) The Bad: Over complicated and choppy (anyone else?). It's basically a TV commercial that you have to keep scrolling to watch…

i think saying you "feel like" going out and buying something is not the same as "i will absolutely buy it now without looking into reviews or anything else whereas before i saw the ad i would never have bought it." The first suggests that something moved you emotionally. The other might be more irrational.

Maybe if you make a pretty website he would "feel like" buying some magic beans and eventually decide not to.

personally, i love the scrolling. you get to stop and look at things. in the future, these are going to have much more interaction and exploration. That's the next logical step.

Does he do that to the conversation partners, or does he use them just as the stylistic figure? If you know an example of the former, please cite. For the later, it still doesn't represent him particularly favorable, but it's his choice of how he wants to be seen.

No. Im not in to lying, hiding and pretending. I dont like these sites. I have explained why. I stand by that. To normal non "Critical, stressed, agitated, easily annoyed and aggravated" people, that is called feedback. Additionally, I dont insult people who have an opinion different to mine. If I did, I might suggest I might not be the one looking like an "asshole". (BTW, These " " are quotes from the OP, not a weir…
