also, I know the song wasn't made for LBP, I'm just posting this
or they're unoriginal, or they live under a rock.

No!! Out of all the songs in the world they had to choose that one!

That song really doesn't suit the 360.

That made me laugh for some reason. Probably because the song is in LBP and it felt REALLY out of place.2009-08-06 12:25:00

People think of LBP when they hear that song becuase it is in LBP.

microsoft didn't do that to just annoy sony/mediamolecule.

I don't think anyone said that, adam. It's just not very good if your customers think of a product that is not your own when they see your ad. It does defeat the point of advertising a bit.

Though, I bet it gets more attention now than it would have with any other song.

By using that music, all they are doing is reminding people of the PS3 game LBP, rather than luring them to Xbox. Stupid them. >.<2009-08-06 15:10:00

This song seems familiar to me. I've maybe hear it in Halo? NO!!! Um, maybe Fable II? NOT! Ugh, I can't remember... LittleBIGPlanet? Oh yeah! That's it, LBP had this song. Why is this song playing? I don't know, maybe because MS is jealous of our lovely LBP. Or they maybe want attention from the PS3 and LBP owners... *angryness* I hate Microsoft *angryness plus a roar*2009-08-06 15:36:00

Microsoft's always stolen other people's ideas, and creations...

Gates was famous for it, Balmer is an extortionist (that my dad has actually met)...

They only chose the song to 1up LittleBigPlanet, which; in my opinion, just advertises LBP

What do you expect from the company of a man who's motto is:
"If it's not good, make it look good"

LBP is good, and they're trying to steal the thunder...
If you hear the song coming from a TV on another room, you run to it and you find M$ stuff...Bleahrgh.

That's marketing, I know, it's ok, but it's another step that made me hate M$ even more.

But they claimed they didn't realise didn't they?

Microsoft can't say they 'didn't realise' with this ad.

Those that live in UK have probably seen this ad loads of times:

YouTube - Anuncio : "The all new Ford Fiesta"

So not only have microsoft used this song, they've copied an existing advert!

Well, the song has been around for awhile. While it's not very clever for MS to use a song that is closely linked to LBP, it does fit quite well to what they are trying to bring across. (Young, happy, etc.).
You will probably find a few songs that were used in multiple different ads.

A lot of you seem to think this was a bad move on Microsoft's part. While I don't like it, I think it was a very smart move.

I think they more than likely did it in purpose. I believe they are basically trying to mislead people into associating LBP and other family-oriented games along with it with the XBOX-360.

I think it doesn't make a difference. I'm not going to go and buy an xbox because of a song, equally i wouldn't buy a game because of a song. The fact i already have both means nothing lol.

It;s a song, and at the end of the day it's not the focal point of the ad. Maybe a stupid move, maybe a smart move.

Either way, if someone hasn't played LBP they likely won't care if it's from LBP, because they won't know.

At the end of the day a song's a song's a song.

THOUGH it would be better if they played Waking the Demon over the top instead

Overall, this post isn't worth reading.

Xbox seem a bit confused about what message they want to send out. They started off as a proper gamer's console (a fat PS2 with exclusives) and now they're trying to turn themselves into a family console like the Wii (plus they ripped the Mii characters or whatever they're called from Wii too). Obviously this was their dream of having LBP on their console, look at when the woman plugs in the cable and it goes underground- LBP style no?2009-08-07 13:38:00

It`s a strange choice of song. Given that the purpose of the advert is to get people interested and talking about your product. All anyone is talking about is LBP.

Had the song been famous and on the radio all the time, I could see why MS would want to 'take it back' and have it associated with their product, but it`s a rather obscure song that I don`t think I`ve ever heard outside LBP.

They could have chosen any song. To choose one so closely related to a Sony exclusive was daft.

I never really had anything against Xbox or Microsoft, after all, I am using XP as my OS. The only reason I don't have a 360 over a PS3 is because I just don't like Halo, Gears of War, or any of the other exclusives (which, mind you, are all war games). I've played Playstation my entire life, so there's good reasons to stick with them.

Back on topic...

Now, while I never had anything wrong with Xbox before, the fact they used this song is just plain wrong. No, it's not a copyright to Mm or Sony, but the very fact that this song has always been widely-known as the theme song to LBP, just seems completely wrong. I agree that this looks like an aggressive ad, trying to stray people from PS3 and for some reason, give the 360 a more family-friendly look, which I really never thought it was, because all of the exclusives are war games, basically, and all of the non-violent titles can be found on the PS3.

I know, rants aren't very nice, but this made me mad.

What a very strange thing to do.

They could have chosen from any number of happy happy tunes, so clearly, they wanted this one because of LBP, but what's the pay off? The only people who recognize it are LBP players, and it wouldn't have been hard to predict it's effect on them.

Did they think there would be a lot of kids who played LBP, but were un-able to remember what system they played it on?!

Or maybe, an out-of-touch middle-management type over-heard an underling sarcastically say "how about something by the 'go team'?", and completely didn't get-it.

The most significant effect using this music could have, is to Alienate LBP fans.--strange move

From "Little Big Man":

It is true, there is something here I do not understand. There is a pain between my ears.
