Showcases and Noobs
Rumors. Speculation. More Rumors. I think that about sums up what intrigues us the most eh? At the heart of said intrigue today is another ‘assumed’ viral marketing campaign. I’m all for any form of viral marketing as I think it adds a bit of flava to any title, idea, promotion etc…
Is it something official from Microsoft mirroring their ilovebees and other forms of viral marketing? Or is it just some company out of Arizona with a Microsoft deal in place who saw fit to announce it a really cool way?
In other news, down the alley is a new Showcase…who might that be?

It’s a legit MS viral campaign, but not for the Xbox 360 from what I’ve heard.

The emblem on the screen is from here: http://www.razerzone.com. So whatever it is is definately gaming related. Its just on what platform. PC or 360? I have never seen M$ do any viral ads for the PC but then maybe its something to do with Vista. Oh well only time will tell!
