Indigo_Dingo is still waiting for his PS3, Ellen.
Ha ha. I at least would have been slightly more convincing about it (i.e. I bought one for my son but 3 days ago my house was broken into and some thieves stole it. Now I know he'll be heartbroken on Christmas day. Please help us Ellen.)
*writes that story up to E-mail to Ellen*"... and they left Xbox's all over the house, we had to burn the furniture. It was horrible."

Perfection!

Ahahahaha!

Strange that Microsoft is promoting the 360 through Ellen. I never thought this would be their demographic.

Also, I notice that they're 360 Arcades.

Thirdly, some of those letters are hilarious.

It's kind of sad that there's already a small conflict between 360 and PS3 owners in a comment page for an Ellen clip.

Scratch that, it's very sad. Makes me lose hope in the world. Makes me lose hope in people...



You know what would maybe cheer me up? You know what might restore my faith in humankind?


Ellen, please give me an Xbox 360. It would do things for me that no one else could understand.

Some of these comments are hilarious... my god, are people this cheap?

Wait, this one is hilarious:I'm not going to BS you with some sad story, I just want a free Xbox 360. I can afford a few of them a week but why not try for a free one with honesty.

And I lol'ed at the PS3 comment.
I honestly think by now she should be considered a danger to anyone that so much as thinks at her wrong, or she should be consider the most satirical person ever.

Either way it's frightening to think of...

Ewww they were arcades.
So what? Arcades are good machines. Bundle that with the new Microsoft 20GB for $20 program and you got a top notch gaming system.

Arcade, Premium, Core....they are all the same...nothing is different except for a silver tray...whoop de fricken do.

Try not to be so close minded okay? A 360 is a 360 is a 360.

Cringe!

Everyone else said:
Grr, advertising grr!
I definitely agree. This is the epitome of obvious product endorsement, especially given the backlash it is causing. Hell, even The Escapist has drawn light to it.

Actually, I think I get the joke. It's not "fanboyism" - it's just like "LOL THEY ARE POOR BUT ASKING FOR STUFF COMPATIBLE WITH HD!"

-and holy crap does Microsoft want to destroy the competition this holiday season. I know exactly who to help me out when I need something marketed.

Hi Ellen,

What you did was really generous and thoughtful.

My mother is sick. My father is dying. I recently discovered I am also dying. The company I work for is about to go bankrupt. My family can barely put food on the table. My shoes hurt my feet. I can't afford cat food anymore. Women and children say my name. I have been trying to lose weight. I voted. I have to stand a lot.

Can I have an XBox 360, please?
Um...I really don't know what to say about this.
I think I know what to say.

ROFL!

Apparently beggars can be chooses. Still, the moment little "timmy" was mentioned, it was clearly a fake.

How much you want to bet these consoles came from the batch that gives you the three red lights after two months?

I kid, either way it's not much more than giving everyone who watches the show a keychain. The arcade version has no HD, so no Xbox Live (decently), one(?) controller, stupid games, no headset (on the other hand that might be a plus). I wish every audience member the best of fun, especially all the women who got one and also have a VCR whose display is blinking at 0:00.

She really is a rebel. She made talkshows mildly interesting XD

The key fuck up here, the letter "I" is used!
