First Xbox 360 Commercial

Joystick also links to what purports to be the first TV ad for the Xbox 360. It just shows a bunch of (admittedly very cool) double dutch tricks, and could be the first decent ad by a Microsoft property in a while.

  7. “Din daa daa” is also known as “Trommeltanz” (German, hence George is German, see bio at URL above), which would be translated in “Dance of the drums”. Was pretty big in Europe in the 80s.

    I hope MS pays him well for using his music. :-)
