Halo 3 viral marketing begins, countdowns and flyers galore

The lowest form of advertising still appeals to Microsoft.

This one is hilarious...

[MS:] “The vast majority of people are really excited about their [XBox 360]
product....”

Vast majority? Really? Just search Live/MSN/Microsoft for "sh*t" to find that
XBox fills half of the entire page.

Never seen anything like this... 5 out of 10 results point to XBox.com. I'm
sure that shills they send to forums try to 'correct' this.
