@stryfehiro: No need to feel guilty, the show's cool and as we are never going to see a reprisal of buffy/angel or any form of the Buffyverse - we need something like this
I doubt it was product placement since if Nintendo were involved there would have been more care placed into the depiction of the system and the way it's played.
Instead I think it was the writers' attempt at bringing another current reference into the series to show that it takes place in modern times and also as a joke.
It might be dramatic and overacted, but IMO that's what a vampire TV series is supposed to be. The series is dripping with smart jokes and a well-built plot. I don't see how it could go on for more than maybe a couple of seasons, but Alan Ball constantly surprises.
@fatheadwilson: still havent checked that one out yet. who's accent in particular is making you cringe? cause unlike xmen, at least this time, anna remembers she's southern more consistently.
I saw this on Sunday and wondered how long it would take to find it's way to Kotaku. Now all we need is a post about vampire-wii cakes and we can call it a day!
Nothing quite like taking a 60 second clip of a television series (or anything for that matter), viewing it randomly and out-of-context on the internet, and then passing judgment over it's merit without bothering to get any other information before making up your mind.
Me and my girlfriend is trying really hard to like this show. Have seen up to episode 6, but so far not so good. I guess expecting it to be as good as 6 Feet Under had to bring out the old fail.
See, my wife and I are really enjoying it, but we also got really sick of Six Feet Under about halfway through the second season, by which time we had nothing but hate for the show. I'm hoping this continues to build on it's premise, but I'm also expecting it to run out of gas and become a parody of itself by season two or three.
Seeing as most HBO shows, outside of The Wire, do precisely that, I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Hey- at least it's better than John From Cincinnati!@rhoq: @Mienvard:
I saw it, too, and thought it was one of the worst examples of product placement I've ever seen. It just felt so out of place, with poor vampire Bill lokking his daftest.
It was supposed to be a goofy moment, but it was so out of the blue that it just came out like what it was: a 15-second commercial within the show. Wrong product for the show, IMO.

Bullshit. BULLSHIT! God has horns.

Soft Porn will be coming to PS3 finally lol
Show is laughably bad....the only reasons to watch it for me personally is it barely exceeds the Syfy channels weekly C-rated original movies.

I agree. If it was Nintendo they definitely would've slapped Wii Music in there instead of generic golf game.

It's too bad supernatural shows are so popular now and not when HBO had a good series like Carnivale.

Boy I hope you voted today!

Sookie bought it for him as a "thank you" for what happened in the cemetery last week.

Neither would the PS3 or 360, being that the image they mock up in that clip is pure video.
