"Xbox 360 falls into wrong hands"
- Thread starter Ares
- Start date
Either we have the single dumbest kid on the planet, or Microsoft has one very unusual marketing ploy, with the dumbest kid on the planet in the lead role.
But it's not uncomon for companies to do things like that. They can have free publicity and plausable deniability at the same time. Chrysler used to do that in the 60s. Let an engineer drive home a yet unveiled car and "accidentally" let said engineer's teenage son have the keys for one night. People see the car, rumors fly, and it builds anticipation.
I'm thinking Microsoft marketing ploy...

I dont know...........for some reason I doubt it is some marketing thing that Microsoft is doing......but I guess we'll probably never find out.

Note that the TV sets where Halo2 runs and the boot Xbox360 image is shown are not the same. The CRT tubes are different.

The TV set that shows the boot logo is attached to a RF cable rather than the video cable seen in the other images. It can be seen by enhancing brightness of the image as shown. Also, the image quality is poor compared to the first image, showing more evidence of a RF feed probably coming from a VCR with the MTV Xbox360 debut recorded and played back.

The cables attached run behind the pillows before coming out to the TV. That's why the pillow seems to have something under it: an old Xbox runnig Halo2. The boy does not sit on the pillow to avoid crashing the console. The Xbox360, despite the fact that it is suposed to be running Halo2, is turned off.
What is it then? An E3 stand mockup, with the cables coming out of the console used to light up the front logo and wave green effect into the button, used in the Microsoft stand. They were attached in a "flower" arrange in some glass showcases around the stand.

I just copied and pasted this from another forum that proved this was fake

It is probablly a hoax, that evidence is pretty strong. But you never know...I heard others say he was hiding an Xbox under his pillow. Him=failure at life.
