Xbox 360 trucks roam Australia


Australia 101: These are called "utes". To anyone unfamiliar (that's everyone except Australians I think), utes are a bizarre amalgamation of station wagon, light-duty pickup truck, and sport utility vehicle. I dare say the closest comparison I can make would be that of the El Camino.

All this aside, these four particular utes, outfitted with three Xbox 360s and high-definition Samsung LCD displays, will be driving around Australia evangelizing the 360 prior to the launch of the console in March. If you want to hear (and play) the Good Word, you can check 'em out at "the Moonlight Cinemas, in Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens on January 8." If you go, take some pictures and send 'em in.

Those cars make their marketing budget seem like $40.

6. They are Holden VY panel vans not utes. Although they are built up from a ute by the team at "Holden By Design" as an extra by adding the canopy to the tray area.
But none the less they are panel vans.
