@@born2conform True. Still, it's an awesome concept. It's not like there haven't been many great car chases. It's possible to have many great faux gunfights.
@flashbangHD It was banned because a couple weeks before it came out there was a bombing in a London mall and releasing it on television would have been seen as insensitive.

For anyone else looking for the original song like I was - it appears to be the Mills Brothers performing "Tiger Rag" composed by Nick LaRocca, specifically the version released by Brunswick Radio Corporation in 1931, but it seems to have been remixed / remastered with additional instrumentation for this ad. If someone is aware of another version closer to or matching this one, please let me know! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Rag ruclips.net/video/o5mdvyIqrs4/видео.html
@mzalan: Yes, I think I've seen a longer version, but I prefer quality over quantity - and if the makers of the ad think this is the right version (because it was the one displayed on their site), then this must be the best version. :)
I think it makes reference to all those childhood games that involved cooperative imagination. That feeling of everyone just joining in the mass hysteria and playing along. A lot of people fondly remember those games of pretend that they played when they were kids. This ad is trying to say that videogames are the modern extension of those games of joyful pretend and that playing Xbox will lead you back to that abstract wonder of childhood.
Favorite Part: Guy falling from the scaffolding. Even though he was tethered, that would have hurt a little bit. It may have left a bruise. I give him props for being such a class act.
The ad was never aired on television, Microsoft showed it to select audiences at certain events. All the people saying it was because of "gun use" or "finger bangin" (which is truly a laughable joke and not in a good way) never bothered to have a look at the facts. Here's a link for more www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-pulls-handgun-360-ad/1100-6140730/ .
@pulsecloud Gaah! I did see the description...but somehow I missed the whole 2nd paragraph. I wasn't planning on downloading it and re-uploading it, I wanted to get it in the highest quality from their site for a mashup idea I had. :-)
well there's cloud computing, sharing games, near instant switch between programs, it has an HDMI input (the only console that does), better exclusives (according to most people), once you download games off of a disc, you don't need the disc anymore. Those are a few examples.
I am looking for ages fot that song. I know thats Tiger Rag, but i desperately need that exact version of it. PLEASE, good people of this world. Help me, you are my only hope.
I could be wrong, but a simple use of search engine made me found about the version of "Tiger Rag" by the Mills Brothers. When I heard it, it was close enough (or maybe I'm being tone deaf)
This video shows what would happen, except with REAL guns, if republicans had their way and EVERYBODY was allowed to own a gun, and come to own it very easily, with no gun registration, and no background check. It would end in one person getting mad at someone and resort to pulling out their gun, then everybody else would pull out guns on that person first to stop the shooting (try to scare him into putting away his own gun), but then they'd turn on each other, as nobody trusted anybody else that they wouldn't shoot first. Then somebody would shoot first, and everybody would shoot everybody, and you'd have a bloody pile of a hundred dead bodies. This is why republicans are complete NUTS.

Thanks for the "HQ" version. Came across this last weekend going through an old old HDD from like 15 years ago, transferring any old pictures and such to my new proper server. My previous archive method has just been piles of bare HDDs, lol. The version I had of this video was a whopping 5MB and could barely make anything out, how did we think this was acceptable quality back in the day??
@Diablo666Daemon666 As I have stated in the video's description, I "downloaded straight from the makers' site". That's why it's quality is good (although not great [720p]). If they didn't have the full blown extended version for me to download... well, tough. Too bad. I wish they did. I'm not going to continue discussing whether the video is "wrong" or not. It's just ridiculous. Finally, you WERE advertising. I just deleted that comment. :) Anyway, have a nice day. :)

Shows that 360 still has lag.

is this a movie or something ?
No

It wasn't, that's just a hoax.

acdc14terrace I saw it on tv. 90% of commercials that youtube say were banned were not banned lol.
because some guy say it was "just a prank", so the authorities didn't approve
I could never do this with my younger brother
He would never die
I hear ya
Thank you for posting this! I'll forever associate this ad with those awesome early 360 days, and I could never find it in good quality!
As a Sony fanboy, I'd like to say: This ad is fucking amazing. I can't even imagine how much fun it must've been to make this.

I KNOW RIGHT!?
Zedrik Allen Then suddenly, fuck you.
listening to their finger gun noises, all i can hear is "Banned! banned banned! ban ban ban ban ban ban ban! BANNED!"
That would fit if it was a Counter Strike commercial...
I get the sensitivity of it being banned, but this is a very entertaining commercial. I'd wanna play this with some friends.
How to do a good commercial

Filmada en Retiro, Bs. As.
con razon se me hacia familiar el lugar.

So...this is where Telltale borrowed the concept from for Tales from the Borderlands Ep. 4's finger gun fight....

This was the first video I watched, ever, on RUclips. I still go back I love this commercial so much.
This ad is amazing. I never get tired of watching it.
Was there a shooting, or gun massacre when this ad came out..? I can't think of any other reason why it would have been banned.
Probably
boy...4 years later...imagine releasing this shit now
@flashbangHD It was banned because a couple weeks before it came out there was a bombing in a London mall and releasing it on television would have been seen as insensitive.
This advertisement is gold
this never gets old gosh i love it

Song: The Mills Brothers - Tiger Rag 1970's
Maybe you don't know this or maybe you do, but this ad was filmed in Retirement Station, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Retiro*
Why was this ad banned?
I guess they didn't want kids saying did you see that xbox advert where they were all 'finger banging' each other. Yeah...
They thought children would imitate this with real guns
*_FINGER BANGING_*
i know im late
It wasn't

I'm glad the commercial ended with the reassurance that it's only a game and nobody really died.
Now this is battle royale
We seriously need a FPS game that is just this.
Still one of my favorite commercials.
I come back here fairly regularly to enjoy this ad

Finger guns….the future of FPS games
I'm reminded of the ending of Cowboy Bebop by everyone shouting "Bang!" and dying.
Favorite Part: Guy falling from the scaffolding. Even though he was tethered, that would have hurt a little bit. It may have left a bruise. I give him props for being such a class act.
Definitely better quality than the others I've seen over the years!! Thanks!!
