    I can't think of anywhere more relevant than this to post this...

    This is one of the cleverest, coolest TV ads I've ever seen. It's not up its own ar$e like the PS2 ads, for a start. And it's bloody entertaining, even if I do suspect that we won't be seeing it on telly before 9pm :)

    You can catch them on Game-Network too, [wrong]


    They have completely changed the adverts that they used in america.

    Sega were the advert masters.

    remember the old "Pirate TV" adverts from the early 90's?

    There would be a really dull ad for washing powder and it would get knocked off the air by a bunch of hackers broadcasting from a Pirate TV network. It had the actor who used do "Spud-gun" in bottom telling you how fast and advanced the Mega Drive was. At the end there was a skull and cross bones.

    "To be this good takes AGES" (Sega Backwards)

    America got the Sega Scream adverts which were equally cool. "SAY-GA!"

    Yeah - the Americans got a pile of "woo hoo the xbox kicks a$$ yee-haw" nauseating type advertising. MS Europe decided that Europeans were as likely to buy products based on ads like that as they are to invest in chocolate fireguards, and this is the first fruit of their own European ad campaign.

    I don't know if it's going to sell any Xboxen but it's a cool ad :)
