Microsoft’s marketing blitz has no boundries

If you haven’t been under a rock lately you should have noticed the onslaught of Xbox 360 related advertising everywhere lately. I can’t go an hour without seeing or hearing a 360 ad of some kind, but today has definitely taken the cake.

Like many who have or has had Tivo for any amount of time is quite fimiliar with the screen shown above after a recording gets to the end. Your asked to either delete, keep,or do nothing. Today this was the same as any except for the Burger King Xbox ad at the bottom.  I’m used to seeing ad’s here or there on Tivo from time to time on the main Tivo Central menu, but this is a little to much. I selected the option just to see what it did and sure enough a BK games ad played. Isn’t it enough to see this everywhere , but on my Tivo. Please let me up for some air, Microsoft.

    Pretty damn lame, you already pay a monthly fee for TiVo >_> More reason for why I won’t buy one then.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love my Tivo. Don’t let this keep you from getting one. I would be in trouble as far as my favorite shows are concerned without it. I didn’t expect to see more ads on my Tivo for the BK games there to.

    Heh, I’m sick enough of ads online let alone on this crap to, not just BK, ads all together. Personally I find my shows from *other* sources.
