New Xbox Ads. Funny they showcase a lot of the kinect ability then advertise the one without it.

 

[JayEH]

Was hoping for some Twitter beef.

 

[Silky]

PC footage?

 

[plasmawave]

Was hoping for some Twitter beef.

Ya.


EDIT: That was false advertising, wasn't it?

EDIT 2: The console wasn't even on lol

 

[213372bu]

Is that video suppose to make me buy something?

 

[Infernostew]

"A crummy commercial... Son of a bitch!"

 

[Riki]

Who and Who?

 

[Chuck Norris]

That was....cringe worthy

 

[Wario64]

Who and Who?

Breaking Bad and Respawn Entertainment guy

 

[Card Boy]

Who and Who?

Jesse Pinkman.

 

[shacklesmcgee]

nope, no manufactured hype at all.

 

[Revolutionary]

Literally just saw this on TV. Scoffed when he got Xbox On the first try.

 

[Tookay]

Have you seen Aaron Paul play Titanfall?

 

[B.O.O.M]

should have kept it short and simple...it started off solid but then turned into a cringe fest

 

[unempLLOYD]

This ad was cringe worthy.

Spoiler

B!tch

 

[Riki]

Breaking Bad and Respawn Entertainment guy

Got it!

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Wasn't Breaking Bad produced by Sony?

You're on the wrong team, Jesse!

 

[Grayman]

The eyes staring at the TV makes an off-putting commercial

 

[hawk2025]

It's.. weird that they are using Aaron Paul...


When Sony can do the same thing for free by *actually* using his iconic footage.

It's doubly weird that the new commercial is highlighting the features that the new SKU, that exists presumably to jump start demand, does not have.

 

[BruiserBear]

Kind of an awkward moment when he calls Zampella a bitch. lol

 

[ClaptoVaughn]

Was Bryan Cranston not available?

 

[Dragonborn]

nope, no manufactured hype at all.

I felt zero enthusiasm, let alone hype from that ad. Felt so forced. So MS is still trying to make Titanfall happen, it's not going to happen. They've made much better ads than this

And why show Kinect but then advertise the lower price without it included?

Edit: Second ad was better

 

[jayu26]

I feel like they should have made this ad before Titanfall came out. Now the ad should feature Sunset Overdrive.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Kind of odd to feature a 3 month old game for an ad isn't it?

 

[Sami+]

Wow, that was so phoned in.

 

[PAULINK]

This is great product placement, I love Aaron Paul.

 

[Tookay]

Was Bryan Cranston not available?

Brian Cranston actually has a career.

 

[Axord]

Weird. Just weird. Scripted? Not scripted? Tape an hour of Paul talking shit and try to salvage something in edit?

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I think Titanfall is great but this definitely feels a little forced.

 

[hawk2025]

Kind of odd to feature a 3 month old game for an ad isn't it?

What else will they feature?

We don't know SO's release date yet. I really hope that gets a huge push like Titanfall.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

He was a whole lot more excited when he was on the price is right

Should have given him some Redbull before shooting this.

 

[UberTag]

New Xbox Ads. Funny they showcase a lot of the kinect ability then advertise the one without it.

Nothing wrong with bait and switch marketing.
Get people on the hook to buy the system at that heavily advertised $399 pricepoint only for them to be disappointed when they discover all of those Kinect bells and whistles are sold separately.

 

[Kurdel]

He must be, so tired of saying "Bitch" all the time.

Should have given him some Redbull before shooting this.

Rebull didn't exist back then.

 

[jayu26]

This is great product placement, I love Aaron Paul.

I don't think you know what that means. This is an ad, a commercial if you will.

 

[Sacul64GC]

Found it more funny when Aaron Paul advertized Sonic 06's multilayer that no one knew existed.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

I feel like they should have made this ad before Titanfall came out. Now the ad should feature Sunset Overdrive.

Yeah, the timing is weird. Hype up your upcoming game, not the game that came out 3 months ago.

Ice Cold. True but cold lol.

And what? Stitch a bunch of his dialogue together to make him sound like he's selling a PS4? Actually that would be fucking amazing. But yeah, Sony could have absolutely used Breaking Bad and they did at CES I believe to sell their new 4k tvs and their 4k download service.

[LGom09]

It's kind of sad that "bitch" is all Aaron Paul is known for now.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Wow big new Titanfall-centric commercials going so far as to bring in Respawn peeps

I dunno. The game is coming up on 3 months old. Seems a bit odd to make that such a strong selling point now but whatever works I guess

 

[Cloud Strife]

Manufactured is the only word that comes outta my mouth, I love Aaron but daaaaaamn this felt forced as fuck

 

[tycoonheart]

Aaron Paul should be above this bullshit. The guy is a capable actor. Why is he getting stuck doing shit like this? And the Need for Speed movie.

 

[PAULINK]

I don't think you know what that means. This is an ad, a commercial if you will.

Yeah, I got my words mixed up, sorry.

Aaron Paul should be above this bullshit. The guy is a capable actor. Why is he getting stuck doing shit like this? And the Need for Speed movie.

What's so bullshit about it? He definitely appeals to the core gamer demographic in my opinion, and it's not like he's a stranger to ads lol.

 

[StoopKid]

Lol I hope he's at the e3 conference.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

He must be, so tired of saying "Bitch" all the time.



Rebull didn't exist back then.

In an interview he said he drank a bunch of Redbull before the show, cause he knew they were looking for enthusiastic people.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Jesse!

LOL

Walt gets in his face.

"You think you can play your little video games Jesse? Hm? WE HAVE TO COOK."

 

[HardRojo]

Too long, 30 secs ad would have probably been better, doesn't help that I recently finished watching Breaking Bad (last weekend).
