They're being ironic here, right?

No and that's even more ironic.

Xbox is for 14 year old stoners?

At least they seem to think that this is their demographic

 

[DR2K]

Cloud flavored Doritos, I must taste them.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Praise the Pope.

 

[dmg04]

Lmfao!

 

[Mass Effect]

surely this has to be some kind of meta-joke by now...

...right?

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Can some to explain to me, as a european, why mountain dew and doritos have become such a big part of gaming culture in the US?


The whole "gamerfuel" Industry comes across as rather insulting to me, kinda like KFC endorsements at basketball games.

 

[Yagharek]

With chips and soft drink we can have the XBone Sacrament of Communion.

The sacrament of confirmation and the slap in the face will be a more metaphorical affair when your internet connection drops out.

 

[freddy]

The veneer has been removed.

 

[jwk94]

I actually like the look of the cans and doritos. I'd purchase them.

 

[KaYotiX]

It battles me that Microsoft is continuing its partenership with Doritos and Montain Dew after the Doritos Gate shitstorm, do they even realise what kind of message they're sending to the press and the gaming enthusiats like us?

They don't care about the 1% of the market, they want the brand out there so the 99% of ppl that aren't on forums all day all they see is Xbox.

 

[Mlatador]

I think the companies behind Doritos/Mountain Dew must be very pleased with the "Doritos Pope" meme.

 

[Eusis]

I'm starting to wonder if someone at Microsoft like Don Mattrick or Steve Ballmer is the true Dorito God.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

They should make a green and black Doritos Loco Taco and sell them at Taco Bell.

 

[Goodacre0081]

do I have to be high for at least 24min before i snack on the chips?

 

[t26]

Too bad there is no resell value.

 

[Des0lar]

I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you eat that. How about you buy some Doritos and drink some delicious Mountain Dew?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

It battles me that Microsoft is continuing its partenership with Doritos and Montain Dew after the Doritos Gate shitstorm, do they even realise what kind of message they're sending to the press and the gaming enthusiats like us?

But that's assuming they give a flying fuck about what anyone except their corporation buddies and business partners think. Which quite clearly, they don't.

The obviously think that we're complete idiots who swallow everything(including garbage like Dew , Doritos and DRM (the holy D-rinity)) and that the acids of Dew have eaten our brain cells and the cholesterine of the Doritos have cloted our arteries so that we are too stupid by now, to see their thinnly veiled respectless behavior towards gamers who seem to them like nothing more than a walking pastiche of geek clichés filled with precious, precious cash.

 

[waypoetic]

I don't even have to make a joke about it, it takes care of that for me. That shit is some dudebro shit alright.

 

[Terrordactyl]

I saw the image and thought it was a GAF shop at first glance, good god...

 

[Yagharek]

Also, kinect 2.0 is going to have to be very good at detecting heart rate if theyre going to encourage people to eat and drink more of this rubbish.

It's good marketing for launch. I'm surprised Sony doesn't partner up with someone.

Doritos and Mountain Dew are HUGE brands among the 18-30 contingent that MS marketed to quite a bit with the 360.

 

[Dawg]

10/10

Would eat again.

 

[Shaneus]

I'd eat Green and Black Doritos, just to see if I could shit out the Xbox One.

I'm pretty sure Mattrick has already beaten you to the punch...

 

[Templar_Dante]

Doritos and DEW Limited Goth-Emo edition.

Sorry, MS. You're going to get the dudebro's with this but confuse the soccer moms and their daughters (according to Spielburg and Lucas). Make up your mind with advertising, you're confusing your target demographic!

 

[Seik]

Xboxone dew and doritos.

http://majornelson.com/2013/06/13/win-a-special-mountain-dew-doritos-xbox-one-promotional-package/

OOOW C'MON!

This can't be real, holy shit. XD

 

[semiconscious]

In a broader set of community, people don't pay attention to a lot of the details. We've seen it in the research, we've seen it in a lot of the data points...

aimed directly at ms' 'beautiful people'...

more interested in seeing the inevitable promotional version aimed at skyping grannies, myself ...

 

[Delstius]

The XBox one is now officially the bigget involuntary troll of the industry.

Truly, a masterpiece.

 

[Hsieh]

OOOW C'MON!

This can't be real, holy shit. XD

The picture is shopped, but the news story is real and the picture is probably a hypothetical imagining of what the final product would look like.

 

[qq more]

It's like they really want to become a joke. Geez.

 

[GorillaJu]

The first bag of chips in history that you can't share.

 

[Data West]

Anyone else suddenly got an urge to watch Demolition Man or is i it just me?

 

[Sethos]

Anyone else suddenly got an urge to watch Demolition Man or is i it just me?

No but I did get an urge to put on a snapback cap backwards and play Call of Duty.

Weird.

 

[BPoole]

How embarrassing...

 

[Erasus]

Isnt Doritos tortillia chips, like you have them for Tacos/Nachos? Or are they a snack type food? I dont understand why they are paired for gaming, wont regular salty chips be better?

 

[AnnSwag]

I don't see any problem with this? Grow up people, movie industry does this all the time.

 

[Jimca2]

I'd eat Green and Black Doritos, just to see if I could shit out the Xbox One.

Perfect.

 

[panda21]

this is just...

#dead

 

[Dead Prince]

don't matter to me. i'm going to score a free xbone now.

 

[Jarnet87]

America officially won by MS, it's over. Your move Sony.

 

[frankie_baby]

The first bag of chips in history that you can't share.

Unless they pay full price for a packet themselves

 

[faridmon]

Cool, Gonna buy Mountain Dew and Doritos later. Why is there only one flavour of Dew in UK? This sucks!

 

[neptunes]

Oh shit they're running that contest again?

I'll try to win one again.

 

[GlenChivas]

That's just gross.

 

[Espada]

Someone should make a film an elaborate ceremony depicting such a scene. It'd be pure gold.

Man, I still can't believe this is real.

 

[Kid Ska]

So this is that big surprise they were advertising at E3? Christ.

 

[neptunes]

So this is that big surprise they were advertising at E3? Christ.

The promotion they ran last launch was really successful.

 

[Seance]

They have to be taking the piss now. They must be.
