Ben.geek.nz: XBox2 Viral Campaign

  • Anonymous · 4 years ago
    I tried your passwords and others...the site is not down, it's just the wrong password.
    How did you get it? I created a community, they give a password but it always ends up by: "The community is growing" and they you're stuck again.
    Any ideas?

    Yeah that “The community is growing” message looks like an error page eh? Dunno...

    Jesus! Who gives a shit man??! It's just marketing!

    Ah Stu, just because you're a Sony fanboy, you don't have to be a hater.... ;)

    Awww I'm not a hater ... if Sony pulled this kind of marketing wankerism I'd still be just as vitriolic, honest. I just don't get why people find these corporate-advertising-masquerading-as-sites interesting.

    Shit, maybe I'm just not 'with it' anymore :)

    You should try being "not with it" while actually trying to CREATE this shit... I'm a big fan of transparent, corporate sponsored ARGs to increase involvement / add texture to the brand, but I find it creepy / weird / ineffectual / annoying when it's "disguised" so lamely: "Ooooh, look, it's the future trying to break through my browser! That MUST be real - especially as the URL was on the end of that HALO2 ad for only two seconds, not like five seconds, wow..."

    ANYway. Apparently I Love Bees was some kind of weird marketing "success" - half a million players, a couple of million lurkers, a global community... but did it SELL any HALO2 product?

    Look at Skype. Look at Google. Just make something good and show it to people; if they like it, they'll buy into it.

    I would.

    Prolly.

    If I was 'with it'...
