New Xbox 360 advertising campaign may scare the small children it's aimed at

Click the image to open in full size.To the uninitiated, this screen would give no indication as to what product was being advertised, but Microsoft have chosen the trailer the screen is taken from to be the new 360 advertising campaign. Taking a leaf out of the crazed Sony marketing team's book, responsible for the iconic, but still downright random Life with Playstation campaign, Microsoft have chosen to go down this weird route, with groups of people playing games in the back of other people heads. It's all a bit freaky, although at least the 360 campaign features some actual games in it, such as Lego Batman and Rock Band, using elements of the video download service too.

The advert isn't all that Microsoft plan to do in the campaign, they wan't to incoporate TV, Radio, Cinema, and other digital outlets, meaning that we'll probably all be sick of the campaign in just a few week or so. Xbox.com is also ging to be involved, as what Microsoft are calling 'the ultimate transformation' will be happening tommorow. What this will actually entail, we don't know, but it's sure to try and attract as many people to the system, expecially after the recent price drops that have gone on around the world. Get ready to see the advertising campaign very soon.

I can definitely see that creeping out little kids, heck I was baffled when I first saw it until it sunk in and I got it was a Rock Band 2 commercial.

Little kids? It scared the living **** out of me the first time I saw it. Then again I am also afraid of Clowns, Dentists, Clown dentists, various household chemicals, Stoichiometry (for those of you in Chemistry class), people who work at 7-11, candy's with obscure names (Jolly Rancher and Snickers are good examples), Clown Chemists, people named Henry but insist on being called Hank ,ect. so I scare pretty easily anyway...
