Xbox Invades Europe!

ok ive seen lame and im no fanboy

but thats the stupidest way to market the xbox imo

it has nothing to do with tanks and the tank isnt cheap at that

why waste all that money when a mag ad probaly would have gotten more of a point across

attention maybe?
Although I do agree with you that there would have been better ways to market the consoles launch. But hey, you only learn with mistakes, right? ...

They said on the news here that the launch was a big expensive flop over here.

Come to think of it after looking at the pictures that isn\'t a tank at all but an armored personel carrier.  Sublime you are right tanks aren\'t cheap, but this isn\'t even a tank.  I am surprised the treads didn\'t tear up the street!

Anyway, that is a lame marketing attempt IMHO.

in a word, pathetic

although, Sir Richard Branson [CEO of Virgin group] would be proud of billy
he used to do goofy P.R. stunts [that never worked] like this



nice try billy, but another megalomaniac millionaire beat you to it
at least richard had the balls to use a real tank AND rode in on it

LMAO

Richard Branson is just as bad (as in Hated)

Esp over here in the UK with his Overpriced and Sub standard Rail Service !

Grrrrrrrrrr if i ever catch up with him .. ill rip that stupid facial Hair of so quick his eyes will pop out of their sockets !

havent some german austrian and swiss retail stores stopped selling xboxes and are sending their xbox shipments back to microsoft if true all i cant say is HA HA Ha Ha

can\'t comment about that on Swiss side, but if this is true (which I doubt), I\'ll be back in a few hours to confirm that.

Anyway, there wasn\'t a single thing on the news about Xbox. Makes you wonder, doesn\'t it?

This will be good for nintendo and sony

I have the feeling that the GC is going to be a major success here in holland (europe) I checked and they have many pre-orders and it\'s launch line up isn\'t too shabby either.
