  • itsgotyou, on 03/17/2008, -15/+6PS3 didn't even look out of place. A true test of industrial design is its timelessness.

  • doctechnical, on 03/17/2008, -8/+2Rosie the Riveter for XBox? Who'd a thunk it. Nice stuff.

    • stonebone4, on 03/17/2008, -0/+4The stuff on page 4 is just sad.
    • joegibes, on 03/17/2008, -1/+11That's because it's a ranked contest, and the winners are displayed first. W1k ftw!
    • antdude, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1Note the scores/ratings.

  • Biznarie, on 03/17/2008, -4/+2Lol @ laser hair removal. I got a feeling were gonna need a mirror soon the site is very slow.

  • dulymachine, on 03/17/2008, -0/+9These would be cool as posters. My friend who lives in a state of perpetual vintage would pay gobs of money for them.
  • TheGonzo, on 08/13/2008, -0/+17next up......new ads with old products
  • DevinOlsen, on 03/17/2008, -5/+9[SCIP] ?stcudorP nredoM ... sdA egatniV?
    • DevinOlsen, on 03/17/2008, -4/+4I was trying to be clever, asking for a mirror... Apparently no one got it :( or it wasn't clever.
      • usingpond, on 03/17/2008, -2/+2Maybe you just weren't being clever?
  • MonarchWastxD, on 03/17/2008, -0/+4Ahh, good old fashioned "looking back upon the past with hilarity."

  • Shawn1141, on 03/17/2008, -5/+2mirror [url]smoutch.ent/lol[/url]
  • usingpond, on 03/17/2008, -1/+2Wow, half of those Photoshops are pretty cringe-worthy.
  • jorge1087, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1dugg for worth1000.com
  • franklymister, on 03/17/2008, -1/+2It would have been nice if the submitters had put a little effort into these, such as choosing appropriate fonts for the era, and not just pasting their version of Ye Olde Tyme text and a decolorized product shot into an image they thought looked "retro."

    Great idea, though.
  • birdman14, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2the "Mr Nokia" one is actually a sony ericsson... go figure.
  • bthree78, on 03/17/2008, -0/+0You're going to shoot your eye out with one of those M41A Pulse Rifles

  • parentingteens, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1what I wouldn't give for a patented mobile telephonic communicator.
  • Stormwern, on 03/18/2008, -1/+1epic
  • madcaps1980, on 03/18/2008, -0/+0mmmmm...dragonfruit.

  • louiebaur, on 03/18/2008, -1/+1Vintage Art is pretty cool they should do one on Atari that would be vintage as well

  • herbstblatt, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1I laughed about the tiny TV for the playstation ad.
  • Gummo98, on 03/18/2008, -0/+0Some work, some don't. I like the Segway and the Girls Gone Wild.

  • iruber1337, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Inaccurate, wrong version of Pac-Man for the 2600 - everyone knows they had that sad excuse for a game on the 2600.
  • JackpotCity, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1I am an absolute sucker for a great t-shirt and vintage posters and signage... maybe it's just a retro phase I am going through. Those ads are great though, nice one.
