stop making these negative threads. It's getting old.

there is no absolute definition for everything though, everything could mean every pen on this table, or every feature listed on this list...

everything is subjective baby!

What does that have to do with this thread at all? This isn't about Move commercials and if I saw a Move commercial showing something the Move couldn't do then I would have brought it up.

What does PS3's main slogan have to do with this thread? You made a thread about false advertising in the general games forum so connect the dots (there're only two of them). Either you wanted to make a thread to have a serious discussion about false advertising or you were just trolling Kinect, so which is it?

As for PS3's main slogan of "It Only Does Everything":

I'm calling out Sony's advertising department to use it as follows:

A parachute

A boat (glue 10,000 PS3s together and launch it and we'll see how well that goes)

A skateboard

...

I think your avatar is false advertising as no child could possibly be that happy when you're nearby.

Don't start, he'll launch into a ragin attack against you claiming you're paranoid, despite the constant anti threads from him.

Surprising since I also post more positive Kinect threads than most here as well, huh?

Seeing as where I posted it, you have a point. Although I do think people need to relax the moment anything anti-kinect or any criticism towards it gets posted here. The reactions are more ridiculous than the amount of threads.

Kinect stuff is what is making news right now fellas. Expect the good and bad.

lol @ people acting like Euphoria makes anti kinect threads all day when he doesn't.

In fact he's made positive ones recently.

Anyway since we were talking bout "It Only does everything"....I'll pipe in here.

A slogan is different from a advert showing a person using a product in a certain way......in that ad we were actively seeing it being implied that Kinect can track such movements by seeing live evidence in the video.

But then again you have those odd Red Bull adverts with people flying around after drinking Red Bull (which tastes gross for the record).

This is a grey area....no-ones completely right or wrong.

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
