It was an ad for the PS 3, would have made a cool game though.
I'd tell you about myself but then I'd have to, well, not kill you, but you'd end up on an island, exactly 140/260 Latitude 10/260 Longitude

Yes! That's the one! Thank you soooo much!!
I knew it was something like that, I kind of really wish it was a game, it would be really rad.

I remember seeing a short video on tumblr within the last year or so. It was really, really quality cgi, like something from an an actual film or video game, but I remember something about it not actually being a clip from something, or at least nothing finished? Might have been from something someone wanted to make, or maybe a trailer?
The video was about an android/robot/AI woman who had a soul (like she could think and feel where the other's were just machines programmed to act like human companions/servants?) The android is being constructed and talking to the quality control(?) guy (who you don't actually see, he's just a voice over an intercom) when she becomes upset, realizing she's not going to be free and she's supposed to be a mindless servant.
The quality control guy is kind of freaked out by her acting differently than the other androids (they usually just give a little monologue about how great they are at serving humanity) and starts disassembling her because she's 'defective'.
The android woman begs him not to take her apart, she doesn't want to die. I remember the scene being a real tear-jerker because an intelligent being is literally begging not to be destroyed for having a soul. The guy stops the dissembling process just before it's too late and, touched by her pleas, he puts her back together and let's her leave to be shipped off, agitatedly telling her something to the effect of 'act normal so neither of us get in trouble.'
It ends there, though it really seemed like it should be part of something bigger. It was kind of rad, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this? Within one or two years ago, probably. It was obviously newer because the cgi looked good.
