Samsung Galaxy Note advertised on Xbox

[peachy001]

Hello all,

Not sure which forum to put this in. I switched on my Xbox today and there was an advert for the Samsung Galaxy Note. Does this not seem bizarre to anyone? Should there not be an advert for a sack load of Windows phone products?

I just worry about MS sometimes. They are advertising an Android phone yet barely promote their own gear.

Samsung paid for the advert so there it is.

I 100% knew that was coming and I accept your point. However, can you imagine any other company doing it?

You can't tell me they need the money that badly.

I am sure it's because Microsoft has a 3rd party in charge of advertising.

Cheers for the responses guys. I had suspected as much, but still.... Poor show.

It's also possible that Microsoft allows Samsung to advertise all of its products, since Samsung does make Windows Phones and Windows 8 PCs/tablets.

I would anticipate that denying certain companies ad space by discrimination could incite law suits, so I'm sure it's handled separately to prevent legal issues.

The ironic thing is that I fired up the Channel 4 app to see if they had the programme that I wanted. The had it, I started playing and the first load of ads were all Lumia phones.
