Okay, forget 'The third place' and Xboxs baby to death advert...
Will Nintendo have the ultimate advertising tool? No, I don't mean a television advertisement, I mean an advert that people would pay to watch, that even those who aren't fans of Nintendo, probably a large number of Playstation fans in fact, would volantarily subject themselves to.
I am talking about a film. The Resident Evil film in fact. You may be wondering what utter rubbish I am spouting by now, but think about it. A fan of the original Playstation who hasn't yet bought a new console goes off to see the Resident Evil film with some mates. He (or she) reckons it was a really good film. The person asks one of their mates when the PS2 is getting the next Resident Evil game. And they are told.
"There aren't any more Resident Evil games on Playstation. They're only on the GameCube now."
Basically this film is going to attract all the fans of the Resident Evil franchise (mostly PSX fans) and there will probably be a fair few of those who aren't that well informed when it comes to general gaming news. So when they find out Resident Evil is now only for GameCube, and they loved the film, and the series so far, will that swing them?
Maybe not, but if they are unsure it will definitely have some bearing on their decision of console. And if they have a PS2 and can afford a second, they will probably be swung in the GCs direction.
Could Resident Evil do Nintendo even more good than just being a Nintendo exclusive series? We'll see.

Tut-tut. Still, more and more of you are pouring in with the samish comments like, " PS2 iz da gr8est! Gaycube sux " It would be nice for a change to see you acctually stand back and look at the Gamecube, because if you look longer that your attention span (Put's goldfishes to shame) you will see that we do indeed have something very exciting to look foorward to.

Good point but going back to the XBOX advert, i like the Fly advert where all the flie's are in the jungle and are making there own music
I hate that advert, that tunes so crap!
The baby advert is so much better I love it.
I saw one for HALO that was good too, shooting the wing off an airplane seems a little exagerated, but hey, it's the future.

I've seen the XBox Baby To Death advert, the one with th einsects in the jungle making music, and I've seen the advert for PGR.
They all rock!
I can't wait to get my XBox. The latest I have to wait is until Easter, so less than two weeks to go!
