Those crazy aussies are trying to recreate the famous water balloon fight commercial for the Xbox 360 in Sydney on April 22.

Xbox 360 is hoping to set the world record for largest water balloon fight at Coogee Beach in Sydney to celebrate the console's launch. You have to buy tickets to get in, but each entry comes with an Xbox 360 Challenge Pack.

The pack's include an unnamed 360 game, a T-shirt (which I desperately want), atrucker cap, swimming goggles and canvas bag.

The event will include hands-on time with unreleased games, music by Melbourne band Kisschasy and both a radio station and a TV show both capturing all of the fun.

The current record for largest water balloon fight was set in 2005 when 2,677 Spaniards threw 50,855 balloons.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!

How is your aim? [Xbox Oz, thanks Mac]
