I must admit that subconsciously scan every room I enter for B&O, and also every scene on TV.

And I always scan the pictures in the listing of home for sale in the newspaper There is a lot of nice and interesting set-ups. Even if the pictures are poor with low resolution it is often very easy to feel if there is some B&O hidden in the room or only kikinoko.

Like most of you i always have my B&O radar on, so i do see beo products in several movies; apple too, but i'm also a fan so i guess it's normal.Sometimes i just ask myself what's normal... my friends say that i'm a B&O and Apple "junkie"... ehehehehAnother that i've started to notice is the presence of B&O and Apple product in some portuguese series, did anyone notice that in other countries?

I have a wonderful Chayane video clip, probably shot somewhere in Latin America with a stunning apartment with B&O phone and stereo. It is such a good look!

Apple can be seen very often and in large quantity.

Apple can be quite aggressive in thier campaigns.. lots of blue apple everywhere and in your face which ruins it for me.. you just know its for the masses whereas as B&O would probably be more cautious with thier placements.

My favourite examples of b&o-on-the-telly is when it is vintage b&o that is shown. One example of this is an episode of Dexter, where an old Beogram TX (I think) turns up.

Yes, I have noticed old beogram too!

I drive my wife nuts with my B&O product radar!

I was always told by B&O staff thet B&O never offers their products for placement. Whether they appear in TV shows or movies they are purchased and not just offered for advertising via product placement. I would assume that if they are indeed purchased, then the buyer can use them as they see fit and not be restricted to "politically correct" programming.

I have seen B&O products in several shows which some may consider politically incorrect.

Wish my friends were like that. They yell at me when I without hesitation loudly announces that I have spotted a BeoSomething during an action scene, or a scene with good looking girls etc.

I must admit that subconsciously scan every room I enter for B&O, and also every scene on TV.

I always spot the B&O stuff both in movies and in real life, and then i have to tell my friends about it. The good thing is they dont seem to be annoyed by it, instead (if we're watching a dvd) they want to rewind it and check it out themselfs. I'm creating B&O fans some of them are even getting pretty good at spotting B&O on their own hehe

Actually there is a article in a danish magazine adressing the issue of B&O appearing in movies.The author explains that B&O actually recieves so many requests to have their products in different movies/musicvideos etc. that they have to reject most of them. So compared to ordinary product placement where the producer pays the maker of the film, with B&O it is actually the other way around. Furthermore the article says that you will never see B&O equimpent in political uncorrect movies or movies with a lot of violence or sex, as they do not like to be identified with theese situations. Think about this the next time you see B&O in movies.

B&O don't do product placement in that way. They don't pay a film producer in order to have their equipment placed in the set.

I am sure they don't, as Ferrari or Bentley would never do such product placement, they just don't need to, but they can be seen quite often in movies. But for smaller, less known brands, it sure is an interesting thing and I am sure they are willing to pay a lot of money for it.

The BeoCom 2 is not "placed" in "The Devil Wears Prada", it is just mentioned IMO, but San Pellegrino and Apple can be seen very often and in large quantity.

Almost EVERY movie i see has B&O slipped into one of the scenes. It's so inconspicuous, that only a beofan could see it! I recently noticed an old beosystem in 'notes on a scandal', but the speakers weren't visible.

Some time ago, when watching "The Devil Wears Prada" with SWMBO and seeing iMacs and San Pellegrino (Mineral Water) all the time, I sait to her "well it is clear, they payed to be seen" (product placement). But I never had that thought when spotting some B&O in a movie. What do you think?

And what did you think when the BeoCom 2 showed up in that movie? That could be a "non-engineered" placement, though. I happen to know that Jarlsberg didn't pay anything to be in the movie, and their cheese is mentioned and shown several times.
