MS certainly has the advertising thing down with the 360, to an insulting degree. The hard disk comes bundled with a free game, but also loads of terrible music and frickin' COMMERCIALS. Not even like game commercials, commercials for the 360 ITSELF (which is odd, since anyone playing these movies already owns it) and worse, advertising for, I think sneakers. There was basketball involved.
Yeah, that's exactly how they attempt to convince you this new generation is "all that". Also, they apparently are trying to convince me to advertise their system for them by sticking a little windshield sticker right in the box with the 360 logo on there. To go British for a sec, I can't be arsed to do that. That went straight into the garbage, after I used the adhesive side to remove some cat hair from my clothes.
But hey, this isn't so bad, actual GAME advertisements are an interesting idea :D. They already have been doing that (and if you can manage to find a game demo between advertisements for movies and stuff in the marketplace, good on ya mate), but this is more.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
