does this include advertising budget ? or not ?

because I have the feeling sony will heavly advertise GoW3 all over the planet

so between ads+bundle, it will easly go +50M !

It NEVER counts advertising budget.

well, I remember MW2 budget was like : 45M for a 2 year developpement game (+ no new engine developped)

final cost (dev+marketing+distribution) : 200M   !!!!!!!!!!!
