Xbox 360 pumpkins: Geek tested, lawyer approved
Xbox 360 pumpkins: Geek tested, lawyer approved
The latest viral marketing attempt isn't a YouTube video, it's a collection of corporate lawyer-approved Xbox 360 pumpkin stencils in PDF format. Just print 'em, get carving and and let the shameless promotion begin. There's also a contest where you might win a bunch of free games and swag, and of course links to some 360 games that Microsoft wants you to buy (Cars: Mater-National, now that's a Halloween-themed title). You didn't see that coming, did you...

UPDATE: I guess the Microsoft lawyers didn't imagine that someone might take the officially sanctioned Ring of Light logo and turn it into the Red Ring of Death. That's what happens when you don't wrap an End User License Agreement around everything:

Red Ring of Death pumpkin

As someone who currently has a second Xbox 360 out for repair, this is pretty funny...
