Best holiday 2003 game commercial?

[josekortez]

My mind is just brimming with topics tonight. Anyway, as an admitted nighthawk, I've noticed that I see a video-game commercial every few minutes after midnight nowadays. In this thread, I want to know what everybody's favorite game commercial from this holiday season is and why.

My vote goes to the Rainbow Six 3 commercial where the little girl sings "My Country Tis of Thee" while the RS team snipes terrorists. It's simple with plenty of subtext. I wish there was a Counterstrike commercial like that one.

On a related note, why is P. Diddy the new Xbox voice-over spokesperson? Doesn't he have enough hundred dollar bills to burn?

I know my LEAST favorite. That Damn GTA 3 commercial that STILL plays normally! Gah!

EDIT: Oh yeah, that Rachet and Clank commercial where those kids put the ecoy in the road and the woman runs after it as it gets runover.

I like the commercial where the kids are humming a carol outside that house while playing GBA, and obviously are more interested in the GBA. :)

Bumped for the hell of it.

The commercial with the guy standing outside dressed as link screaming/singing opera wins hands down. I fell off the couch laughing when I saw it, and I had only had two beers.
