Re: Australian television runs Halo ads

In Response To: Australian television runs Halo ads (Hedgemony) : All over aussie tv at the moment is an ad for the Xbox Massive Entertainmant : Pack. Included in the pack is Halo, Jet Set Radio and SegaGT as well as a : dvd unit. These ads have been on air for about two weeks now. The pack is : retailing for under $500Aus. There's no excuse now for those who don't : have an Xbox and Halo. : They are running two commercials, one tells you about the pack, the other : goes into more detail. : The second ad is longer due to them showing footage from the games inside. : A direct quote, "The massive entertainmant pack includes the Xbox's : number one selling game Halo." They go on about heart-stopping, : adrenaline pumping action. The in-game footage is from cutscenes. : Halo is still getting love and from what my friends who still work in the : retail stores are telling me, the pack is selling like hotcakes. The store : I used to own is currently out of stock. They ordered around 50 or so : packs thinking that would do them for awhile, but they all sold within the : first 4 days they came in. Good to see. Hope they ordered more or I'll : have to have a talk with them:) : Even though the PS2 is getting all the covers on aussie mags, Xbox is : outselling them leading into christmas. Gamecube isn't even in the running : I've been told. They are flogging Mario across all Nintendo platforms in : an attempt to combat Halo and the Xbox pack. But everyone who is getting : the pack is getting it for Halo more than the other games, which is : strange in Australia. We love our car games, they are the traditional : big-sellers out here. : But who's complaining when Halo keeps selling? Not me... : Apparently they may alter the pack to include Splinter Cell with Halo and an : as yet unnamed racing game. Interesting. : -Hedge, ever vigilant. AFAIK Halo hasn't left the top 10 at all yet over here... (UK)
