NEWS Microsoft Stores

[GameKingFaiz]

They seem to be a big hit

This video is the best:

And did that girl steal something at 2:13!?

[Tyfighter]

Hah, I didn't even watch that.




















Actually, I'm not that rude.

PHEW.




I did watch it, and it was stupid as fuck. Waste of time, and obviously just a way to trump up business. It was also WAY TO LONG. 4 minutes and 44 seconds? Damn. Did I just get marketed too?

That was a huge waste of 5 minutes. IS Steve Balmer behind this?:lol:

The whole point is to get passers by to walk in, check the store out, and hopefully buy something. The people in the store can laugh, and remember how fun it was dancing! I got to buy more stuff!

It seems obvious. I'd feel like an idiot line dancing with those paid employees.

I feel sorry for those employees, that's their fuckin' job. Minimum wage probably too.

I'm embarrassed for anyone watching the video, I was embarrassed to be apart of this experience, and I'm embarrassed for those fatso's in skin tight polos that have to work there dancing to earn a buck.

What's with the stupid Marketing link from Brad Slavin, M$ guru? Those comments all laugh and mock the video's and the and "Brad Slavin's experience/bullshit story" found in that link. We all see right through it. lol.

newwavedave : "You completely bypassed the Vista experience? That’s why your blog on 1/2/2007 say “Windows Vista has been in development for roughly five years and I have been actively involved as a beta tester for the last few months. If you are thinking about upgrading your existing PC running Windows XP to Windows Vista, it may not just be a matter of upgrading the software.”

You sir (Brad Slavin) are a flat out LIAR. Enjoy recent stardom, it’ll last less than 15 minutes."

googler :"As someone who uses Google now and again I wondered if you were the same Brad Slavin thats on all those Windows review and tech sites. I wonder how with all that expertise and windows knowledge you missed the Microsoft store thing…."
---------

Born Yesterday : "So even though you have been a die hard Mac boy for five years, you spend most of your time on the net promoting windows. My office window is less transparent than your marketing efforts."
---------
Shawn : "How much is M$ paying you exactly? This reads like a brochure prepared in Redmond."
---------

D-No : "The whole thing is so obviously orchestrated. Watch the girl in green and listen carefully as she barks orders at the tanks who do their best to repeat the corporate disco moves. Watch them all look at her as they wish the ground would swallow them.

This is sad, sad, sad and the fake blogger thing, what were Microsoft thinking. Brad Slavin happens to be an anagram of ‘Viral and BS’"
---------

Esoom : "LOL, is this something new?

Reverse viral marketing?

Microsloth is so hopelessly burdened with bureaucrats, that idiotic ideas like the Microsoft store & this kind of retarded marketing happen.

They should just have released a video of Balmer naked covered in whipped cream, same effect."

Well, I guess we have a new video to add to this montage.



I don't care what Apple Stores, Sony Style, Home Depot, etc. do to trump up business.

Don't fall for such easy tactics....and at least use Robots next time.

[Joe_Mgs]

Why did you have to say you were kidding. I was laughing until I saw that.

Anyways, To me it looks like a Apple Store ripoff. Also, I think she did steal something, And now she is all over the internet. WAY TO GO!

[Warri0R]

i think its brilliant....a brilliant way to steal that shit, that girl obviously found a window of opportunity while they were doing there stupid dance routine...lol

Yeah, sorry for that previous incident...

Though I thought it was kinda long, I thought it was still pretty, "WTF!? lulzy".

[Tyfighter]

Well, if anything, The Loss Prevention team in charge of those stores will be watching a lot more carefully!:idea:. :lol:

That lady jacked them!:shocked: As far as the idea of dancing, it's different, I'll give them that.


I would be embarrassed to be in there when that's going on though.

I wonder more about this "Brad Slavin" character. I googled him and found blogs and blogs with no comments. Very strange stuff.

[Deya]

Awww, someone is a wee bit upset, aren't they?

And a wee bit of a Sony blowhard...

And... sad.

It turn out the entire point of any store is to draw people in so they can, you guessed it, buy shit.


I'd just like to add that I only watched the very first video posted in this thread, and that the rest were not worth my time... as always.

XD.

[Tyfighter]

:lol:

[Joe_Mgs]

I lol'd at the period after the XD



But really, Microsoft is now copying Apple. Which I think is funny.

[Eli]

wait, Apple came up with having a storefront for software and hardware companies?

:?

The video was hilarious.
