Xbox 360 X Factor television advert

Posted on | October 29, 2009 | No Comments

Well here goes me trying to write a cheap television post about the Xbox 360 taking out and entire TV advertising break during the X Factor on my iPhone wordpress app whilst sitting in the back of an Audi A6. Microsoft are splashing the cash this Christmas and doing something American on UK television by taking up a whole TV advert slot to promote their Xbox 360.

They will apparently do this on the X Factor show due to be shown on television on the 14th of November and will promote gaming titles similar to the tv singing show. It’s also a good way of trying to make the Xbox 360 popular this Christmas as it’s a family TV show so children can pester their parents about wanting one straight away.

Some dud from Microsoft apparently said “We believe that the X Factor provides us with the perfect opportunity to communicate directly with our target audience and is the ideal time to educate them about the new games and services on the Xbox console. By taking up the entire ad break, we can really help to capture the imagination of both potential and existing Xbox users.”

Not a bad for a first cheap television post being in a car and on the iPhone on my way home from work but the Audi A6 is bloody bumpy.
