I think it should show something along these lines

Xbox 360 + Halo 3 > PS3

to bad you can't fully show the capabilities of the 360 and Halo 3 in less than 30 seconds.
but you can show the price. hee hee.

yes you can. just show snibbits from gameplay.

Have a press confo and explain things like:

Our games actually offer real time weapon change and not a magic bag with a teleporter.

If we make games based on history, there are no giant man eating crabs. Sure, there can be boss battles, but more realistic ones like having to take out a tank or a leader of a regiment.

Although the PS3 may have a better graphics card, we can actually use ours to the full potential.

Halo 3 > RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDGGGGGGGGE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCEEEEERRRRRR

You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

Oh! Could have a grunt(s) walk on to a room with a PS3 lying there. The it can pick up the PS3, stare it at then throw awa in a dissapointed fashion. Then a 360 controller could drop out of the sky, it could pick up the control and start playing. Then it could say "360 kicks ass"

The art to good shooting lies in the ability to aim at where your opponent isn't, and miss.

How about Bungie give it away for free. :D
Everyone would get a 360 then.

No, I got it. A heretic grunt is sitting there playing a PS3, then a normal grunt comes in carrying that all to farmiliar box, and boots the heretic grunt out of the way, throws the PS3 at him, sets up the 360 and starts playing.

Haha, that's good. But I really don't think Halo 3 will need any advertising. I mean seriously, who doesn't know about Halo 3? Besides I think I saw an advertisement for Halo 2 once on tv, I don't think Bungie's that big on advertising

Bungie aint hot on advertising= Microsoft is. They think it means more money, but the BEST advertisement is word through mouth. Halo 3 has that already. The trailer will suit us until the game, or game footage is released.

Alrite this is for all the aussies (this add may be in america but i dont think so). You know that beer add where theres all those guys running along in new zealand with colored robes on and they are all going "Its a big add... Very big add... I cant believe how big it is! ITS A BIG ADD!!! EXPENSIVE ADD!!!" and so on and so forth. And then you see a birds eye veiw and they are all in the shape of a big beer going into a guys mouth. Well for halo 3 there should be an add where you just see a HUUUUUGGGGGEEE canyon and in the center there is 2 hills. Then you see a spartan from blue team appear at the top of one hill and an elite from red team at the other. They are both holding bombs. Then the music starts playing. They start running down the hill at each other. Then following each of them is an army of reds and blues. As they run at each other they start singing "Its a big map... Very big map.... I cant beleive how big it is" then warthogs and ghosts start driving down the hill. Pelicans and phantoms come aswell. Everyone opens fie and they sing "There are big maps! 60 player maps!!! I cant believe how big it is!!!" The pelicans and phantoms start firing their machine gun thingys. Bodys drop everywhere. Then a scarab full of reds walks towards the army. BOOM!!! It fires its main gun into the battle. Bodys fly everywhere. Then you see a birds eye veiw as the scarab walks away. All the bodys have made a giant 3. Then screen goes white and the bungie symbol goes and the screen.
THE END!!!

Join the Sphere

Read about my gaming here.

How about a resume on what's happened?

First we see short cuts of the PoA crashing on Halo

Then we see, humans and covenant fighting, then the explosion of Halo

Then we see the beginning of Halo 2, the reward ceremony and the covenant approach

Then we see how Regret's ship jump from earth and get to another Halo, and then gravemind holding MC and the Arbiter and then Delta Halo almost activated, and then last form Halo 2, the "Sir, finishing this fight" part

Then, some scenes from Halo 3

And all done fast, with text in between explaining what has happened, in short and with music that gives you goose bumps and make you cry

That is and advertise I want to see

how about a proper TV ad..you see yourself in chiefs armour, you hear beeping and breathing of the mjonir and chief, you spin around and see a grunt, sending a burst from your assault rifle, then a huge thing jumps down through the corridoor you are in, it smacks you, you hear beeping again..then you switch weapons, a rocket launcher and send that rocket go, moments bits of meat falls around, and then a horde of elites jump in and you send them to hell with your last rocket, you reach the end fo the corridoor, open the doors, your on a desert, a big one, the camera zooms out, human ships crashed all around you, an elite chases a naked female noncom, he shoots her in the ass and her legs are burnt off. then it zooms all the way out to space, with covvie ships circling eart, a white beam appears from somewere on earth, blasting 30 ships out the way, a new ship, its massive, it arrives send laser beams and destroys allt eh ships..This is the way the world Ends..a pelican from earth smashes onto the hull of the new ship, chief pops out, dual wielding ars, slips one on his back adn sets off..

Why do people think PS3 has a better graphic card? If it is 600$ and comes out a year later it's because of the Blu-Ray drive.

Look at this, I compare graphic cards of PS3, Xbox 360, and one of the best graphic card for PC (Nvidia Geforce 7800GTX)

Graphic card...........7800GTX........Xbox 360........PS3
Memory.....................256 Mb..........512 Mb......256 Mb
GPU Frequency.......430 MHz.........500 MHz.....550MHz
Pixel Pipelines...............24.................48.............24
Vertex Pipelines ............8...................48.............30

Does the PS3 graphic card still seems better?

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

Why don't they advertising it in movie theaters?

I mean that as when you are watching the previews before the movie starts.

Plenty of people go to movies, and so if you want mass marketing, why not show them what the best game ever looks like?

How about a commercial like this?:

A police officer is driving down a street trying to chase down a criminal. All of the sudden he notices his watch is at 11:50 and spins around the other way. He drives immediately to a Best Buy, wades through the lines, goes home ten minutes later, and turns on his 360 to play.

IT'S THAT SERIOUS. HALO 3, ONLY ON XBOX 360.

Before it comes out is the key...Maybe it's time to start saying "I love bees"!
