    Xbox 360 Hummer Spotted

    At Loughborough Student Union:



    Fully tricked-out hummer with TV screens and a large sound setup in the back providing free demos to random passers by. Whats the deal with these, apart from the obvious advertising thing.

    Hmm i went to an Xbox event at Loughborough university.

    I would guess that they may have a pod or something in the Union?

    When I was at Uni Sony came and set up playstation pods all over the place.

    I remember going to a lecture at Uni where a top Sony guy (I forget who) came and gave a technical presentation on the PS2.

    I saw an original xbox hummer at a stafford uni event. It seems pretty pointless doing all this promotion atm though if people still can't get their hands on them.

    Trig wins by providing the exact location. Marios can be found just to the right (though not at this time).

    Good old Loughborough Uni - How I hated my time there! Nice to see the MS marketing bandwagon rolling along though.
    What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...

    That's not a Hummer, it's a H2. A Hummer is a big thing that the US Army drive around in. A H2 is a big thing that rappers drive so they have somewhere for their egos to sit.

    The brand is Hummer. The model is H2. Therefore, it is a Hummer.
