Nice :) is any PCS staff member making an special appearance in the tv ad?

*Digs out 2012 calendar to find most tv friendly faces* (nudity probably frowned upon in this instance? :D )

Couple of things...

1.I didn't know you guys had www.pc.co.uk, that's awesome :)

2. You run an ad for custom PCs, include the idea of gaming...and you use Halo? HALO?! Really?

Nice to see you guys expanding your reach though, but don't ever change PCS, don't ever change :)

We had to get permission to use gaming shots in the advert and the PR agency got permission to use Halo. Halo is also a PC game although I can understand the reason for your comments.

Also, before anybody asks... "did you see that graphics"

"...more power, more speed, mor kick-butt gut-wrenching blow my mind out of this world oh my god did you see that...graphics". Yes it was intended! :)

I think "was a PC game" might be fairer :D But yes, I understand there are always reasons why, I think its just because it is THE X Box game (you wouldn't use a Sonic game now would you :D )


Don't suppose you know when/where it'll be on so can see it in all its TV glory (YT never quite the same...especially with that...graphics)

Saw it on tv this morning, looks awesome. Never knew you had a pc.co.uk either lol.

Did you get a rise in orders/website views after the first advert ran?

Just came on here to say I had seen your ad on TV not minutes ago!
I wasn't in the room, heard the words "custom built computers and laptops" and thought to myself "holy s--- someone's trying to muscle in on PCS turf!" I was having none of it but thankfully it was you guys, panic over.

Hey now we can all be hipster n all like "yeah.. cool.. but I used PCS before they went mainstream."

Just saw ASUS UK post this on facebook, I did see the advert on the sideboard during an england game a month or two back where it mentioned pc.co.uk

Awesome guys, will definitely keep an eye out for the ad on TV

Like the advert, the only gripe I have is using inaccurate error messages at the start of the advert, that and they displayed so quickly you could not actually read them. I had to pause it.

Halo 2 was released on PC, but they cut a lot of corners on the graphics engine. Either way, it's a game ;)

Sky Plus + iPlayer etc + AbBlocker for those pesky on demand services for non BBC channels :D

I was well disappointed when I had to put my pitchfork down.
