First Look at Xbox 360 Ad Campaign?

Click on the 360 logo. There are some Xbox 360 print ads and also a "internal culture video" from Microsoft. J Allard talks about how he won't be satisfied until the "entire human population" is playing 360. And it has a tagline for the system: "Be Human and Levitate" or someting like that. Kind of freaky??

From 360 ad campaign I expect nothing less than:

"360 ad campaign is a lot like Halo 2 ad campaign, only it's Halo 2 ad campaign on fire, going 130 miles per hour through a hospital zone, being chased by helicopters and ninjas. And, the ninjas are all on fire, too."

the entire human population? There is not one device tbat the entire human population uses, much less has the electricity to use xbox 360.
 
Stylish. It seems they're going to take their marketing in many directions. I mean, hell, you could see one of these ads in many non-gamer magazines and they wouldn't look out of place either.

Just finished watching it.

That really freaked me out. Reminded me of a cult video. Especially when they showed that guy with the weird look on his face with a wall of videogames behind him. Scary :(

His gamertag is HiroProtagonist. He says he's a gamer, but I doubt that he really plays much at all. Not active on Halo 2 since January.

He won't be satisfied until the entire human population is playing 360?

Does half the human population even have running water, electricity, or even a pair of shoes?

I know he's being facetious but lets not be totally friggin stupid about this.

Not to mention how will new born babies wrap their hands around that controller. You guys are taking this too serious. Looks like the ads are trying to be female friendly with no mention of words like power etc. I still hate that green color. It's such an ugly color but it looks like they are going with a more designer friendly hue though.

Safari started loading that site, rendered the black background, and then said "no."

I thank it for probably saving me 10 minutes of my time and my sanity.

I love the poster with the line-art alien and monster playing xbox. A zillion times better than generic ethnic face #69823 with xbox logo posters.

Yeah, let's make a commercial where a baby's shot out of the mother and gets old and dies really fast all while holding an Xbox controller!
