Game News - Awesome collection of Xbox 360 advertisements (Episode 1)

See here how Microsoft advertised its red-ring-of-death console in the last couple of years, from the US to India and Japan (WARNING: banned commercials included!).

Since 2005, when the Xbox 360 was launched, Microsoft tried everything it could possibly (and legally) do to dethrone Sony from its dominant position in the console market and spared no money from its bottomless sack to achieve that goal. Whether Microsoft's strategy paid off or not, it's not up to us to decide (we're just pleased that they've upgraded their warranty period to three years...), but what we can judge is how creative they were in their attempt to lure us into buying their product.

We've gathered this collection of advertisements for the Xbox 360 that have been broadcast in different parts of the world in the last two years. We hope you enjoy them (although some of you might have seen these already), and we invite you tomorrow to watch what we've selected for the PlayStation 3 (This is living, Baby!).

Don't forget also to vote for your favorite ones, as the top 10 best and worst will be sent to Microsoft (yeah, we ought to tell them that we like quality ads not boring stuff...).

P.S. You really have to see the nice Spanish lady with her desperate "pa!pa!" and the Indian commercial ;). Oh, and the "old" Xbox ad too...LATER NOTE: Some of the videos have been uploaded two days or one day ago but they are still included in the same "Xbox 360 commercials" category.
