Ok, anybody have any idea what Microsoft was thinking when they made this commercial? Anyone? Granted, Apple with its promotion of iTunes had some weird commercials (after the jump), but at least the product was shown.

    what???
    does this mean they will be using the broken ones they get back to fix other broken ones???
    i dunno if that would be a good or bad idea……….

    WTF? The Zune ad is AWFUL. The Apple one is pretty bad too, but it’s 5 years older and they AT LEAST showed the product. jeeeeez..

  3. viperguy says:

    It clearly shows me that “DJ” feature, where 2 zunes can “share” music.
    But yeah, so bad it doesn’t show the product…

    What kind of drug do they abuse?

    if i saw that for the first time with no knowledge of a Zune, (and I think most people would agree with me) I’d say “What’s a Zune?”

    It’s obvious that “iTunes” is a computer with shiny lights.

    the commercial have a problem with the product communication, but it seems to me that this is a teaser that’s communicate the concept …. not the product ..

    by the way … this is a pretty add …

    I think it’s pretty clear. They’re showing the social features of the Zune, what with the trading music and the such. Still, pretty odd.

  8. Alan Rager says:

    It is a pretty ad, but they could have had some vocal cue to people about connecting and sharing and being happy to tie it in more clearly to the product.

    I think its a metaphor for the patchwork that will me the music on your zune and the fact that it can be joined together with other people’s music and make a beautiful piece of art .. ok so I’m just trying to sound deep and get laid .. working on any of the ladies? do any ladies read this? honestly though .. its something like that

    Whats wrong with that itunes ad??? the radio still sucks is the perfect song for it, when it came out people were still cheesin over those light shows.
