Last Week was when I first saw them - 11-15-01

It was during SmackDown!® that I saw them....and I saw 4 of them...... it was commercial break, there I caught my first glimpse at an X-Box commercial, and I said, about time they advertise the damn thing..... so I saw it...nothing special... green neon moving sphere.....blah blah..... then after that, another one...... I was not impress.. but the "living" green thingy was nice

then The program again SmackDown!® came......then commercials again..... then I saw another set of "new" X-Box Commercials...Same thing, but they said diffrent stuff... again not impress......... I mean, instead of saying some stupid shit, Show me the games!!!!!!.......days passed and I saw the commercial of Halo® and after that Oddworld®....I was like Wow.......ok thats better and nice.

So, yeah they are going to low.... What the fuck is up with 4 promos in 10 minutes?!?! One after the other.... and whats up with that girl saying, fluffy cloud, blah blah.......dumb shit.......

but the games look nice.... I'm looking foward to the Dead or Alive 3 Commercial...thats about it

I think that they should just leave it be, if people like it, they'll buy it, let the gaming companies put out some commercials and have your little promo at the end of it, I mean how many playstaion commercials do you see? How many N64? Well I admit that Nintendo is now making 90% of the gaming commercials out there now, revolving around game boy advance and the friggin' gamecube, but it didn't used to be like this, it would be funny if demand for the XBox falls even lower than it is, then we will now why, it was too damn overpopularized.

They sure don't make you want to just go out and buy one, I'll tell you that.

if it wasn't for the commercial about Oddworld: Munch's Oddysey being on XBox, then i wouldn't want to buy it.......i thought Oddworld 3 was going to be on PlayStation, but that was years ago *sigh*

That one is decent, but they show it too much. I can't wait to see commercials for Tales of Eternia.
