You need to make a video about it. It sounds like something that needs torn apart verbally.

This is all they got, I'm sure. Nothing can really sell the Kinect without throwing millions at marketing stunts. Yawn.

It was Cirque du Soleil. Are you really that uncultured that you couldn't enjoy it, regardless if it was just a giant commercial?

For fuck sake, it was a fucking free Cirque event. Suck it up and goddamned enjoy it.

Is.. this.. really what they .. oh wow... not that I'm hating on Kinect for retarded reasons or anything but... WOW. Way to look like a bunch of douches.

Nothing against Cirque Du Solei either, I'm sure it was an impressive performance and shit if that is free then like SBC Says you are totally lucky.

Seems like an overtly extravagant demo though; and as great as Cirque is, totally irrelevant to the product.

( bad english coming ) The prob is not the Cirque du Soleil i think.

It's more that the journalism seem "force" to wear theirs costume for the camera.

The camera surely did some ( crowd shot ) and all the journalism there will be like a crowd for the Slap Shop, or any other TV ads.

They kind of sold theirs bodies ( being the crowd with costume ) for the TV ads. Not like a Conference where information are given to the journalist so they can write after.

But, maybe the costume wasnt "force" and many info was given. Maybe they got some Hand-On ???

They doesn't seem to had play with it, just being the crowd ( which sux )

This is journalism. With a completely unrestricted, unfettered, unadulterated opinion completely intact.

And it is precisely why I come to Destructoid for my gaming news.

Just read the IGN summary:

This looks like this was quite possibly one of the greatest fiascos in videogame history.
