CAST IT INTO THE FIRE FRODO

Hahahahaha.... fantastic.

 

[devotedgmr17]

Wow. I know what I'm NOT buying this holiday season - sorry Microsoft.
I refuse to buy your console that comes with controllers with battery packs. What is this 2003?

Can't tell if serious.

I'm actually happy it still uses batteries.

 

[Azure Dream]

Red-shirted host was a little creepy-looking, but considering the target for this video, it really didn't seem anything worse than the usual "hype up the holiday toy" videos, save for a verbal slip or two ("see lighter" and such).

 

[sickamore007]

I guess major nelson downloaded all that info into this kid head. Lets see gameplay footage. No more bs microsoft.

 

[mugoldeneagle03]

"and that headset does look super sweet"

That was a great demo.

I'm not a fan of the font used for Xbox One. Just use the official one...

It's insulting, just like using the word "Xbone".

 

[flyinpiranha]

Yeah I was gonna mention that, too. Toys 'R' Us's font is so bad. It turns anything it's used for into a toy.

It becomes an added cost for some people, I can see why they don't want to use batteries.

"awww look at those pussies at sonygaf so upset. This is by far the better console. Ps4 is a videogame machine without games, and Ryse looks better than shitfall, so best graphix on xbo, not only that, you can do about 500 things more on the media marvel. Your online wont be hacked on XBL, and you wont have shitty download speeds. FUCK SONYGAF, FUCK PONIES, and fuck anyone who doesnt love the XBO because their taste sucks and they love the taste of Sony cock."

 

[DrZeus]

Pretty good ad for the kiddies and soccer moms.

Excellent!

 

[AssassinsEzio]

I just want to see the Giraffe playing Xbone!!!!

 

[soul creator]

lol at ages 6 and up
its 500$ plus tax

get the kids a nerf gun
and they'll have more fun

Heh, to be fair, people get kids iPads and iPod touches these days, and those aren't exactly super cheap.

That said, I agree that an Xbox One is still gonna be somewhat of a hard sell at that price, and high end consoles tend to not be frequent kids gifts at launch anyway. Though I'm guessing they could potentially lean on the "family" aspect with Kinect (dad plays call of duty! mom and kids play just dance! everyone controls TV and netflix with voice controls!)

 

[UNCMark]

Does the average Toys R' Us consumer care about the specs?

The only spec the vast majority of people that buy a next gen console care about is whether or not its the newest version. And that only matters after an attractive pricepoint has been reached.

"and that headset does look super sweet"

That was a great demo.

Good job Jeremy.

 

[kulapik]

Holy shit

 

[Iacobellis]

Reminds me of those stupid GameStop catalog captions from 2005.

 

[andromeduck]

who's that kid?

 

[frizby]

"...making it one of the fastest xboxes so far"

This is the most amazing thing I've heard all day. I'm just...

 

[ScaryMovies]

I was particularly impressed by the fact that it had an "8 core processor, making it one of the fastest xboxes so far".

 

[gillFTR]

An HDMI cable, that is too cool.

 

[SPDIF]

A system made to play games doesn't feature any games in the ad. Ok. Exciting.

It's a Toys R' Us ad obviously aimed at kids, and they did show a few clips of the more 'kid-friendly' launch titles, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Were you expecting some in depth analysis of the launch games or something?

 

[spliced]

Thanks mini Greg Brady.

You just know that's somebody here.

 

[kulapik]

Is that AVGN's son?

 

[Anticitizen One]

At least they are pushing xbox marketplace. That's the only place where you can purchase the actual good Xbox games (Killer Instinct, Crimson Dragon, etc.)

 

[bLaiSe]

Thanks Mike! That's awesome!

 

[FeiRR]

Ages 6 and up.

That's COD demographics, right?

 

[flyinpiranha]

In what good ad would a representative proclaim to know little about the product?

Some things are bad.

I didn't say the ad was great, but the response is hilarious. Like this was aimed at hardcore gamers. This is for parents and kids to glance at while looking for holiday gifts. Not an E3 presentation.

 

[StoopKid]

 

[Vashetti]

You just know that's somebody here.

I thought the same. :lol

 

[NinjaBoiX]

"It's got an 8 core processor, making it one of the fastest Xbox's so far."

:/

 

[Darksol]

Hey guy in the red shirt: you need to apply your makeup with a little more subtlety.

What? All this for an ad aimed at kids? That's some serious reverse meltdown you got going there.

 

[Dead Prince]

Kids first handshake.

They have a toy for that

 

[Doffen]

Damn Microsoft! Why can't you be more like Sony and advertise PS4 and Killzone??

 

[Nokterian]

oh gosh so amaze, so many gigiabits wow, internet connection establish, how do i download?

 

[kriskrosbbk]

What did I just watch ?

 

[JWong]

LOOOOOOOL

"I heard the camera has been improved. It can ACTUALLY recognize you?"

As opposed to not working for shit on 360 lool

 

[ironcreed]

LMAO. The only thing missing is COD and sports. Surprised neither was mentioned.

 

[WrenchNinja]

This is a real video? Not satire?

 

[MormaPope]

I realized why this work of art is the way it is. Plenty of the launch titles for the Xbone are rated M, Dead Rising 3, Ryse, Killer Instinct(?), Watchdogs, Battlefield 4. I guess there also wasn't a lot of footage available for any backburner games.

 

[Nokterian]

/dead

 

[Iorv3th]

If this ad was any more real, it would be real.

 

[RedAssedApe]

how does michael know so much about the system?

 

[Alienous]

 

[Majine]

"One of the fastest xboxes out there"

I sure hope so.

 

[rudieboy77]

Is it because its Toys R Us that they bring out a 10 year old as the XB1 expert?

 

[Prince Vultan]

Dude's wearing a red shirt with a backwards 'R' on it. I smell commie.

Sorry "comrade", but your video gets the thumbs down from me.

Literally. I hit the dislike button on Youtube for a laugh. lol

 

[dmr87]

The host acts like he doesn't know anything yet he wants to know the speccs.

8-cores baby, that's awesome.
