yes
Thanks for that info., if I'd known they were putting bromine in the stuff then yeah, definitely makes sense why it's banned!
Seems you just can't trust companies to be upfront about this stuff...

What? Who, Ross?! What?!
What? Do you know how marketing works? Nintendo done the same with Ric Mayle with N64 and those were some of the best Nintendo adverts aired.
This type of response is nonsense.

I thought he was a Nintendo fan boy!?....
I'm sure everyone at Microsoft and Sony appreciates Nintendo Games. Who doesn't?
Rik Mayall.
Interesting choice.
Nevermind, I have potatoes for eyes.
It's just that something about his grin make me think of that other guy.
Hmmm.....Given the core demographic I'd have picked the wife to promote the thing.

He has a slight lisp and pronounces R as W, he doesn't have a stutter.

Good deal for Microsoft, lets just say he's not being hired because of his 'game' expertise.
He's a well known TV personality with his own show on a channel that permits advertisements and survives solely because of them. He does have an interest in games and Microsoft will probably try and get a few demonstrated on his shiow. Prizes to competitions will probably be Xbox Ones etc.
If his show were on the BBC, this would not be permitted, but seeing as it's on ITV and they would do anything for money, it'll happen.
Wise move if you ask me. Perfect circumstances. This isn't about games, its about TV.

Tbh if Microsoft was intelligent what they would do is get the streaming iptv rights for the states and Asia for any sort of football eg champions league and premier league. Which people could watch for free on xbox live gold. Boom loads of people buying xbox ones and subscribing.

I'd love for him to sign off on some geeky documentaries. His Steve Dikto one was awesome.
Don't even joke about this.

Boobs detected
: Googling commenced.
: Name found, re-googling.
: Search enhanced, added "tits" to end of search string
: Ogling commenced.
: Confirmed, still like boobs.
So sad, so true

Ross's quotes so far on the matter effectively say he's being used to promote Movies, TV and games.
Microsoft aren't steering away from their path.

I remember him saying his favorite Mario game is Paper Mario, and if he meant thousand year door then that's some pretty respectable taste.
I think he's gone down to angry birds tier now though, but I can imagine I'd lose my touch with video games once I'm 40/50 too.
If you're using that as a derogatory term for a description of a half nerd who thinks they are a nerd,.... then you sir
have earnt my respect this fine day

It says a lot about Microsoft that they hired Jonathan Ross to clarify their message.
