What's the strategy here?
Make it so easy to joke about that there's no point in joking?
That being said, rightclicksaveas.
Uh....yeah...that's gonna go over like a turd in a punchbowl.
You're sure that poster's not a hoax? If it isn't, then someone's head at M$ (and/or at the ad agency that made the poster) will roll.
I've been assured it isn't... apparently it was also used in promo material at E3 as well.
Sega must have some influence over this console, or something. It all feels very Dreamcast-ish.
that poster is a Hoax
No company would use that - hasn't that become illegal all over the world
I dont think MS is that incompetent - that would be an extreamly bad PR move

Heil Dreamcast!

Actually, looking at other posters for the xbox 360, I think that this poster was supposed to represent a windmill or something like that... but it sure is easy to read it as the swatzika.
i haven't seen many other xbox 360 posters (except for the ones that just show the system and controler) but i would think that any kind of quality control would stop that even it was meant to be something else.
That symbol is still a major flag raiser and its hard for me to belive a BIG company would risk using something that would bring and enormus amount of heat on to them. Even if thier intention is not to use it in the context of what it means today.
But, i dont know what is going on in the minds of MS marketing. Mabey they are looking for something to spark up a huge controversy to help sell their systems.
If this certainly came from MS, I do not belive that no one in MS has seen what some of us here have seen. Even if thier entire quality control missed it - im sure that some other employees would have seen it and mentioned it.
To me -- that poster looks like it intetionaly is suposed to look like that symbol - not a windmill
So, this is either a Hoax OR MS is looking for some controversy

That pic looks very homemade to me.
Why focus on the controller only in the ad? Never seen that before. A picture of some controllers on a grey background doesnt really catch much attention. Then I mean generaly, not this picture.
I would like to see a picture of the real thing (not a scan or something) before I belive its real.
