Microsoft Advertising is partnering with brands including Chevrolet, Sprint and T-Mobile for the November 4 launch of the full body tracking 3D Kinect camera for Xbox 360, the Xbox house said Monday.
All three of the advertisers will launch Kinect-related campaigns when the anticipated peripheral launches later this year.
Chevrolet will feature its vehicles, including the hybrid Chevy Volt car, in the controller-free Kinect racing game Kinect Joy Ride. The auto maker will also have an ad presence on Xbox Live and in a campaign within the "Kinect Hub."

Chevrolet will feature its vehicles on joy ride, wow I didnt know that with their cars you
were able to drive without a Steer Wheel at hand /s
Because games are an indicator of what happens in real life. When I get into my car there's a DS3 controller waiting right?
Don't be a turd, why must every kinect article come under fire?
Why does no one ask if there'll be a glowy bulb on a stick if I sign up for the military. Why is it cool to compare kinect to real life but everything else gets a free pass?
that the Move isn't good at then people start wincing and calling you names. What am I talking about? Sales and mass appeal. 140K is not a launch number to write home about.

"ill reply you with a simple 'IT IS EASY'"
I am afraid I must agree with rebirthofcaos here.

1/ just read the (good) reviews, more than 100 for move, and look at (real, and not so good previews) for kinect (don't use PR release and fanboy blogs to tell the opposite)
2/ 140 K ? lol, vgchartz estimation used by the worst fanboyz, only when they want to downplay ps3 success, or exagerate 360 sells.
Move is sold out almost everywhere, and better : it works, and way better than anything else in motion control territory.
Owait...
Justin Bieber is brilliant tho'. They should follow with more of the same. Put Kinect on that shill Oprah too, MS.
a year for live and $150 for Kinect and STILL you advertise to me?
But I %100 agree and think it's completely lame that people will pay for that and MS still will shove ad's in its customers faces and it seems to be getting worse over time. The whole NXE redesign was more for MS shoving ad's in people faces than it was anything else. The premise that they are game related just doesn't float any more.
Gold members should have an ad free dash. They have plenty of silver folks who can be exposed to these ad's.
I've complained about it on xbox.com until they actually banned me for a spell.
It's business, get over it!
Fact is, there are plenty of things in life that are paid for that still comes with advertisement. Why do you pay for newspapers? What about magazines? TV service?
How is marketing partnerships buying their way into peoples wallets?
If that is the case the whole damn business world is buying their way into peoples wallets. Uh-Oh Sony has a Subway partnership buying their way in confirmed!!! <-sarcasm. What planet do you live on friend?
Let me get this straight...., advertising is buying into peoples pockets?! Correct me if I'm wrong. Advertising is to present your product to the world and to pursuede consumers to buy your product.
Never mind. Why did I waste 2 minutes just replying to your statement.
The fanboys are going to go INSANE. LOL
