well maybe not fresh and in my face..but i thought they were kinda kool. A good deviation from the normal craziness that is modern television and commercials for ANYTHING are colorful and show a lot of acting.

This goth guy(?) was a new step in advertisment and i commend MircoShaft on taking the path away from colors and craziness in a commercial.

For all the people saying that this isn't going to cause kids to want to buy it........ that's the entire point. Xbox and PS2 simply are NOT aimed at kids in any way. The market they're going for is the adolescent and up market.

Eh, the commercials suck now but closer to the release date they'll release better ones with game footage...these current ones are just designed to build anticipation for it...i guess

The commercials are totally non-attention grabbing. I don't care about an old guy mumbling about, uh, I dunno. Cause I didn't even bother listening to him hush-hushing whatever while he's holding a roach in his fist.

What does he say anyway?

Since many people dont know who or what an xbox is, i assume this is how ms wants to grab their curiosity/interest. They'll problably progressivly reveal more as the xbox gets closer to launch. I think its a good strategy, compared to just showing a bunch of game clips.

I hate commercials and, after just viewing them and thinking about them - they are quite clever. They don't bother making it glitzy...just black and white, with a guy saying speaking in haiku (well not haiku but you get my drift).

And it's only September, man we're just not gonna escape the x-box ad wrath!
