Watch the (Pants-Less) Original Xbox Live Promotion Video

[ScroogeMcDuck]

I feel violated after watching the whole thing

That ugly black headset made me nostalgia so hard. Damn i miss my old xbox some times. It was a reliable beast unlike the new one even if it did weigh a tonne.

OT: I dont remember seeing any adverts for xbox live at all. I just heard it was coming out from a friend then got it. I think counter-strike was my first XBL game.

Damn, the nineties are coming for me again, must hide.

I'm having horrible flashbacks of the Nintendo Entertainment System rap advert

I sit wearing pants whilst on the Xbox, but I'm English haha.

 

[Distorted Stu]

TOO RADICAL MAAAAAAANNNNN

 

[wooty]

Reminds me of the old cheesey adverts for the SNES and Sega CD from the days of yore. Either that or a really bad 90's sitcom/drama

 

[Pegghead]

Oh my goodness, I already watched this many years ago!

 

[JEBWrench]

All that's going through my mind during this entire thing is:

[HEADING=3]BROFORCE![/HEADING]

I haven't seen so many fist bumps. That was pretty wild.

Fist bumps. IN REAL TIME!

Ahem! Did you just call it a "headset"? That's an XBox Live Communicator!

Wait, you guys wear pants when you play online? Why would you do that?
And I remember this video. It seemed a bit cooler when I was 10.

Microsoft: Still making god-awful ads [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oGFogwcx-E]. "Microsoft huh, so it's pretty easy to use?"

 

[Versago]

dude, seriously?

THIS is how MICROSOFT chose to advertise?
I don't know anyone on the planet who wouldn't be annoyed out of their skull after 10 seconds.

 

[MasterSplinter]

If someone where to change the title of the video to include the word "parody" the world would be a better place.

 

[edgeofblade]

I want my money back. No, seriously. I was expecting bright swathes of neon colors in geometric shapes framing the words "Rad", "Bodacious", and "Totally Wicked".

I want my f-ing money back.

 

[Tairan]

Did you have to pay monthly for that x-box live i cant remeber?

 

[Gerrawn]

WHY IS THAT MAN NOT WEARING PANTS?!

 

[Catchy Slogan]

This immediately made me think of this:

I love Awesome Video Games. It's a fantastic take on those 90s tv shows.

i can see why xbox live never really kicked off until the 360 came around....

Where were you last gen?

 

[WorldCritic]

Wow, um, Xbox Live has come a long way.
