Presumably hoping to build on that price cut momentum, Microsoft has launched into its biggest 360 ad attack ever, according to Edge Online. The "Live Your Moment" campaign will extend to billboards, print, TV and every medium in between. In fact, in a little thing we in the biz like to call "media synergy," you can see the first TV ad online right after the break. Welcome to the future.
We at Joystiq would love to be excited about the new campaign, which takes you inside the brain of 360 players, but as the last remaining members of the Herman's Head International Fan Club, we feel like we should be stand-offish, if only on principle.
I still can't stop nerd raging over how much I hate MS for getting Rock Band 2 a month earlier for the 360. I have both the 360 and PS3, but I bought Rock Band 2 for my PStriple and now must..... wait. *sob*
He REALLY hates being invited to play Halo 3 while he's earning his achievements. Besides, achievement is such a nasty word. How much better is it to get a trophy?
well, i plan on getting RB2 for my PS3 (i have a 360 also) for free online play. yeah, Live is arguably better, but me and my select group of friends don't really game online enough to warrant paying for online gaming.
When rock band 1 was first released the guitar controllers were wireless for the PS3 and not for the 360. My room is very small, so extra cords would be a huge problem. Also didn't want to have to deal with having to be logged in to access my downloaded music like I've seen happen on my friends 360.
OK...so she is playing Rock Band/GH4 with her friend and she is orgasmically happy because it feels so real...as if the real band is playing a private party in her head.
To quote gameplayFanBoy from above - "creepy" and I would like to add - "weird"
Actually, watch it again, you'll note that the band in her head/on-stage is actually her + her friends. Not that it makes the ad any less creepy or strange...
Thanks for your thorough, and comprehensive statement. You are an intelligent man of few words and you should be granted an honorary seat at the United Nations as Grand Global Gaming Master. The G.G.G.M. has posthumously been created for your wisdom.
The article concerned a new advertising campaign so MS could gain new consumers. It didn't work on me. Gain some insight skills Leobebes. Also, lose the sarcastic humor, you're really bad at it.
I don't get it? What does a video game system have to do with living a moment? I live moments all day long without effort, and most of them don't include games. What does a 360 do to enhance my moment living?
It's not applying it to life, like one would say "Stop and smell the roses!" But rather that the 360 is a source of wish-fulfillment, and that you can live out your fantasy. It's not just playing a game, it's being your favorite band.
When Subway put on that $5 Foot Long campaign, I sensed desperation too. I mean, the pieces were all there: a price cut, a new sandwich expansion, and tons of money thrown at advertising.
Because you know, every time a company advertises to me and cuts the prices on their products, I sense that they are weak, desperate, and about to collapse. Both financially and physically.
And the TV commercials starting airing an hour ago here in the UK - All 3 sandwiched into one commercial break, so i'm guessing thats what they plan for the weekend.
More dumb Americans that are too thick to understand that the ads they see on Internet fanboy sites like there, are from other countries, and guess what, they have different tastes in advertising.
It's really funny to see American idiots tearing apart European Sony adverts, when they have nevr actually been abroad....
He advertises a PSN name, so he's obviously not a 360 fanboy. Besides, we have seen plenty of PS3 ads in the US that were creepy (Baby anyone?). You assume way too much - including the fact that you know wtf you are saying on any given day.
DigDug, you do not know where I live, and especially have no idea where I have or have not traveled. For how much you are whining about ignorance, you are displaying an impressive amount of it yourself.
