Pretty good, although I wonder how they could produce the thing only to have the lawyers decide not to air it after the money was spent.

Unless they did it purely to get an internet buzz on it.

That was pretty good. I don't see what the big deal is that they can't show it though.

This ad is fairly stupid.

Having said that, I don't really see why it was banned.

I don't think it was actually banned, Microsoft was just afraid to show it in the states. My guess is that they are trying to sell the system as a mainstream sort of system that appeals to everyone, and the implied violence of the ad could scare away some people. It is kind of strange considering they probably spent a shitload of money on it, then had a change of heart.

Absolutely. I don't want to get hung in the town square.
