Make Sure To Buckle Up While Playing Kinect's Racing Game

This hilarious spoof ad for JoyRide, Big Park and Microsoft's controller-free racing game launching with Kinect/Project Natal, comes by way of cantankerous gaming messageboard NeoGAF (naturally), which, for the most part, is having more fun mocking rather than admiring the motion sensing accessory's initial line-up.
The parody's creator picked such an appropriate source video and edited the Kinect device/Xbox 360 logo in so seamlessly, most likely wouldn't recognize this as a fake unless they'd seen the original commercial, a PSA advising viewers to always wear their seatbelts.
If unrelenting cynicism, motion control mocking, and hilarious photoshops/spoof ads are what excite you most about big video game expos, this year's E3 is already off to a great start!

I doubt that in the near future motion controls will be remotely as precise as a standard controller.

This is wildly funny. Never felt so guilty laughing about something.
And yes I was totally fooled by the "commercial"-I thought Microsoft really had something going there! Like the early PS3 stuff...I'm so gullible

I remember the real PSA advert for wearing a seatbelt or somthing and being impressed. However, it is funnier when you make it a Kinect advert...but maybe funny in the wrong way. I think they might have just proven why Kinect driving games suck...err thanks are in order I guess.
