I book marked this so fast you can't even measure it in light seconds.
I told a friend almost 2 years ago to watch the PS3 have in game advertisments - he called "Burn out!"
I said no not like that, instead of playing the game and having transition screens you'll have commericals, while your in the middle of the game a banner will come up from the bottom advertising about the new honda accord. It's a system really, the gaming industry already got screwed up with technologists and we have greedy marketer executives now it goes into in game adds.
This will start out fine but as time goes on and the adds aren't paying off these companies will not want to pay such unfair ammounts to publishers and ask for a new contract, that contract will be more dependant on the acceptance of the game player - this is inevitable... Gaming really shouldn't have gone this way.
What I want to see is if gamers will abandon this as the theater aim of the PS3 means they can't put commericals in the game itself nor during the transitions, it would have to be at the begining of a session or the game and at the end - which in itself is a kill joy. Money will be lost, and fun will take the largest hit in the end.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
