Clip: Beautiful Japanese Woman. Original Xbox. Pies.
Back before Microsoft roped in popstars, the company had a different game plan: confuse the customers. Here is a TV spot for the original jumbo-sized Xbox, which features a skinny model, a pie throwing machine and a whole lotta wtf. Bizarre, but I guess it works — though sales figures are bound to disagree. The woman says "Play beautifully" in Japanese, and that sure has a better ring than "Let's do do do!" Brian Ashcraft

So, let's recap:
- Beautiful woman? Check.
- Computer games? Check (kinda).
- Pie? Check.

Yup, that all sounds pretty good to me. If I hadn't bought my original xbox just after US launch, an ad like this would totally have made me buy one.

Oh fuck yeah.
