Only the bloody controller wasn't plugged in.
Still, the title screen of Splinter Cell has convinced me to get an Xbox.
Game really aren't going to sell many Xboxes like that...

I've lost count of how many times I've been in a games shop, seen a console booth thing with a game I really want to play, rushed over, pushed some kid out of the way, tried to play and released the controller wasn't plugged in.
Like you say, games retailers really should re-think their marketing strategy.

What I want to know its whats the point of having a "console booth" but not having the controllers plugged in? Its pointless.
Oh and Splinter Cell rocks.

It's not worth buying an Xbox just for Splinter Cell.

I think some shops unplug the controllers to use the Xbox console as a video demo of games, rather than a playable demo.
All my local stores now use the Xbox to play an Xbox Live promotional video.

Hi,
I visit a GAME store in Southport twice a week when I go Rowing. The key is to ask the sales assitant if he can let you play on it, after a while they will just leave the controller in. Apparently people are making it harder to get round due to crowded areas of people who are playing the game or waiting for a go so they unplug the controller to only allow people who are actually interested in buying it to play.

Erm...so you didn't actually play 'on' the XBox then did you? The title of your post says you did, and then you immediately say the controller wasn't plugged in, contradicting the title.
At best, all you can get away with saying is, "I played 'with' the XBox controller".
