I found it here (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1325788085473424558&q=banned+xbox+360).

That was brilliant. Why in the world would they ban that?

Advocating gun violence? Wouldn't that encourage kids to run outside and put up their hands and go "BANG BANG!" to random strangers rather than holding up real guns and doing it? It looks more anti-gun violence to me.

Besides, it makes no sense that people can shoot guns in movie commercials yet in an Xbox 360 commercial pretending to shoot a gun is taboo.

I agree with DMKA, but with all the controversy around games at this time frame, I dont know. I think it would have been a good ad, but ya, you know, you can make all the inappropreat jokes you want, but when you point your finger at someone and say bang, suddenly you've gone to far!

Ha, that was awesome. But banning that is yeah, totally lame. That's exactly the kind of stuff that my preteen brothers do in the KMART parking lot. Nothing bad about it.

Weirdos.

Hilarious. :) Don't see why it was banned...besides a fear of some silly parents bringing up a lawsuit.

It's certainly an entertaining commercial, although a better 360 commercial would be one that shows some actual gameplay from real games. Not sure why they'd choose not to air it. Some people may complain about it, but I think it was pretty light hearted, and doubt it would actually cause kids to start thinking things like guns and killing are cool.

I don't think it was banned. It was probably just not aired.

It'd be better with Benny Hill music.

I'm glad it wasn't aired, for multiple reasons. First off, it shows nothing about the actual system. Secondly, it's pretty much saying X-Box is only good for shooter games, first or third person, which is probably the wrong image they want to go with because I have a huge feeling the Revolution will be the best system for first person shooters. Thirdly, it was completely retarded.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Also, from what I've heard it was banned because of possible controversy stemming from another event that has taken place at an underground station this year.

maybe they banned it because it was one of the stupidest commercials ever made?

But anyway, yeah, like I said, I think it's a great commercial, and would love to do that in real life, with paintball guns or something. :)

I'm not a big fan of the X-Box, but that commerical is awesome. They really should've used it.

First off, it shows nothing about the actual system.

Do any of the 360 commercials have anything to do with the system?


Thirdly, it was completely retarded.

Its actually less retarded than the other 360 commercials.
