That's actually pretty cool
I would never want that car but it's certainly a positive way to advertise your console
ah geez, if the sun shine in the game wasn't distracting enough.
Shine some glare on your monitor while looking at that image and I think we're up to 4 levels of "Yo dawg" recursion.
(glare on your monitor -> glare on their monitor -> glare in the game -> Xbox One in your SUV: the math checks out)

I wish I could post a picture of my face right now.
This satisfies my lifelong dream of owning a super-sweet headset.
As opposed to the European version of the ad which just gives up half way thru and admits the PS4 wins? I'm kidding! Too soon?

Haha when the kid started talking about Netflix, Hulu and Skype etc, I was expecting a "Xbox live subscription required" to start flashing on the screen somewhere.
I couldn't watch the whole thing through, It's beyond cringe worthy.

for the targeted audience Its fine.
So is ok for this forums then
Out of curiosity, what do you think is the target audience?
SwiftDeath

He simply means the target audience of the toys r us ad which would be unsuspecting parents looking to buy their kids the hot ticket item
So not many gaffers then I imagine
I doubt though when all is said and done that the XB1 will become the standard gift to get young kids considering the price and the competition
Fair enough, I suppose that makes sense. Though I'd imagine $500 is an awful lot for an impulse gift buy from a parent to a child.
Edit: your edit tagged in just before I could see it
But yea, I agree.SwiftDeath
Member
Agreed
Imagine follow up posts will claim the fact that kids these days get ipads
I would argue though an ipad has a lot more general usablitly than an XB1 which would appeal to a parent I imagine
Edit: haha as did yours
Is this real? This almost seems like it's making fun of itself...

Ipads are also less expensive in the long term as games and apps are substantially less costly. Console games being $60 a pop, with the Gold subscription on top just takes it in to further high end luxury territory. I'd imagine the XO will have similar teething issues to the PS3 as far as sales go. Maybe not at launch, but during the first year till the first major price drop.

You've seen it too?
Thank god
I thought I had gone crazy
I was the only person to verify it on Gaf when it originally popped and I honestly started doubting myself
Live down south in Mountain View so only saw it in passing one weekend in SF

Strange they decided to mention 8-core processors and specs. Since when do kids care about that stuff?

Another advantage the iPad has over the XB1 and PS4 is that parents upgrade and pass down their older model. I'm only an uncle and have upgraded with each iPad gen and passed my old pad onto one of the kids in my family.
Nevertheless, I don't think $400/$500 is far-fetched for a Christmas gift. My parents weren't rich and I got "big" gifts like the Aquarius, Atari 2600 and C64, which I think are comparable.

You have no clue as to what parents buy and how much they spend. Parents easily go into Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Target and spend 400-800 on powered ride on toys without hesitations. These same parents in years past were buy $400 consoles or back when the PS3 came out $600 consoles.
'Get the facts' is the new 'Do the math'.
Set to private now. Any other mirrors of it or a description of what it was?
There's an expression from politics that fits here: if you're the one explaining, you're losing. Months later Microsoft is still combating the horrific first impressions people have of the system. They will dissipate over time but it's telling they're still trying to correct their messaging.
