First post!

Haha, oh wow. They even used the Pacman death sound in the last little bit of it.

before anyone starts asking questions. Delhaize and Food Lion are owned by the same company. >.>

Yes and that company is... Delhaize. A Belgian company that opened the very first self-service supermarket in Europe. And further answering the question that no one asked, they probably wouldn't have made this commercial without some fiat from Bandai Namco or whoever holds the rights to Pacman nowadays. The official languages of Belgium are Dutch (NOT the same as German, people), French and to a lesser extent, German. This version of the commercial is in French for those thick posters over at kotaku. I mean jeez people, French is like a fat chick with bright colored clothes, a big zit on her nose and her fucking name tattooed on her forehead, meaning you've probably noticed her already and will recognize her at any given time!

End rant.

Yeah, sorry for that wikipedia article-ish post, just venting my frustration towards those semi-dumb posts on kotaku and those to come here on joystiq.

That is very cool. Very good marketing (no pun.) Does anyone know if there are a series of these sorts of commercials for them a la outpost.com and the hamsters, wolves, etc.?

reminds me of target ads.

When I saw that on tele over here (Yup, in Belgium) I thought I'd sent Joystiq a tip...

But then again, I'd have to somehow tape it, plus send it...
And I don't even get started to that, so I didn't.
Glad it found it's way anyway ^^; But not through the tip form, it would be overlooked anyway I guess =)
