X-Box 360 Commercials

[Klepton]

I have seen 2 of these so far, and both times I was amazed. The first one involves an entire city playing water balloons. the war goes on in backalleys and intersections, in bars and restaurants, and then finally it just shows the X-Box logo.
The second one involves jump rope, and is just as cool.

does anyone know where to watch these on the internet?
are there more than these 2?

yes i saw the ballon one and just saw the jump rope. very cool. my vote is for the ballon one though

[pokerdirty]

great. i get a short film of fat people doing jump rope. makes me think they are hiding something. like lack of games. lack of quality games.

[jfresh]

i'm slow, i don't get it

just saw the jumprope one on hdnet. i was blown away that it was an xbox 360 commercial. gf and i caught part of it, rewound it, then the logo came up and we were like WOW.

Could that possibly be Ben Wallace in the jump rope ad towards the end? It's hard to tell in the low-res IGN version, but I also saw this on HDNet, and the dude is definitely a.) tall b.) has the unmistakable fro. Plus, Big Ben was on the cover of NBA 2K5.

Jump rope - very cool (street cyclist off the chain)

Water balloon - reminded me far too much of people running from sniper fire in Sarajevo

[Lazymeatball]

what is so good about the jump rope commercial? it has nothing to do with what it's advertising. I wanna see cool videos of stuff getting blown up. These commercials just make me want to buy a $5 jump rope.

TERRIBLE commercials for the xbox 360

the commercials themselves are ok - but what the hell is the point?

any product could have this type of commercial

BOOOOOOO

Who gives a crap. This system is pointless. There is not one good looking game in the near future except Gears of War. Here is a brand new system with a release list that's basically every 2k6 title and perfect dark. Who freaking cares. Why should anyone buy this? I'm ot buying a system without games. Seriously, why are they even releasing it? You need GAMES for a system, like...original ones. Stuff I can't play on other system.

Two thumbs way down.

Like Oblivion? I don't even like RPGs yet I enjoyed Morrowind (its prequel, and an Xbox/PC exclusive) as much as any other game I've ever played. Being that it's basically a computer, Xbox and 360 are both easier systems to port PC games over to than Playstation - hence the existence of games like Morrowind, Oblivion, Quake 4, Half-Life 2, etc. on PC and Xbox but no other systems.

I agree these commercials are tarded and say nothing about the system or games.

I played an Xbox 360 in target today. I played a demo of the King Kong game -- incredible graphics, great sound. Can't comment much on the game from such a short time, but it was cool getting chased by a huge T-Rex.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yes I will buy one when Oblivion comes out.

[Alex/Mugaaz]

Oblivion was pushed back to 3/15/06. That's not a launch game.

[runner4life7]

you guys are all so bitter, but how many other commercials are you talking about right now, did no one ever teach you about advertising?? I dont know why but I assumed OOT knew how commericals worked and if people talk about your product it worked.

I don't care about the xbox360, but I saw the jump rope commercial today and was blown away. Best commercial since that EDS commercial with the cats.

Hence the phrase "when Oblivion comes out."
