New Xbox 360 ad schools Avatars on how to cope with Reals
A new Xbox 360 ad showing Avatars how to deal with their “Reals” has popped up on Xbox.com. Watch it below.
It also explains how to find movie downloads and other stuff, all from the perspective of New Xbox Experience being the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Go watch.

Reals are humans. People.

Ok, thanks Pat. I find it really strange that Microsoft are telling us how to deal with ourselves though.
This virtual life-style nonsense is starting to go a bit too far. Now we are starting to look at the real-world human and give it a ‘virtual-world’ name. Anyone else thing that some people are sliding further and further away from reality?
Perhaps it depends on how we define “reality”. We’re getting pretty close to some sort of twisted over-commercialised cyber-punk world aren’t we.

I think it’s irony.
