Watch this ad-campaign. It’s for Microsoft’s XBOX 360. We’re busting our guts trying to think what it reminds us of but we can’t… Oh yes, that’s right! This is the LittleBigPlanet theme they’re running over their suspiciously similar marketing campaign.

Now to be honest, this song is by The Go Team and was licensed by Sony for use in LittleBigPlanet. However, the song feels like it’s been accepted as the spiritual soundtrack for LittleBigPlanet. And Microsoft have to be aware of that.

So we think it’s kinda shady.

Reminds me of when Sony used Forza footage as Gran Turismo...

That was a rumor, Polyphony Digital don't do games by half, nor games, they do things as they are. In GT you'll see adverts, not for money, but because its how the track is.

I don't remember that happening Phillip. Do you have a link?

AAHHHAHAHAHAHA!!!! HAHAHA! hehehe...hahaha! Spiritual Soundtrack! That's hilarious!!! I'll hang that quote up there with Sony being the "Official Leader" of the console industry.

Well it's true. You hear the song, you think of LBP. There are a lot of other examples of where a song has ended up being attached to a particular scene/game/movie/product because of its use therein.

The 360 has turn't into a real gimmick lately! and the best bit, MS want it that way!!! LOL
