I play Battlefield Heroes and during the loading screen a mention of who is providing the hosting comes up.  Not so bad.

Now Wipeout HD is showing a video ad during your loading screen.  Its a novel idea to make some more money.

So would  you rather Pay for PSN or watch ads in your loading screen?

I'm not that into the idea. Though if they can keep it free, I'd at least hope they can keep them non-intrusive. I've heard that the ads in Wipeout HD are messing up the game.

Hey why not? I mean you have to load the game anyway, why not put a nice looking ad during the time it loads (I mean on XBL you get ADS regardless of whether you pay or not)

For me, free with ads>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>paying with no ads

Watching ads. It's part of every day life, and sadly, it's going to become more common in video games from now on it seems (ever since last gen actually). Better get used to it like we did for the TV and stuff!

It's interesting, because in the UK you have to pay for a TV license which basically pays for BBC which doesn't have any advertisements.

Very few people seem to take issue with this.

When it comes to games, though, people will (pretty much) always choose the ads - perhaps it's because we're already waiting for it to load, why not try and sell us something, as well?

Not paying for ads (PSN) >>>>>>>> Paying for ads (LIVE)

But then we'd miss game tips like,

"Do a barrel roll to avoid enemy fire"

As long as it is free I don't care.

Put ads in my loading screens or what not when I pay and I will care.

Ads in LOADING SCREENS?

LOADING SCREENS??!!

This is a problem?? The only thing good about loading screens are in games that show you some tips like KZ2 does....

I wouldn't mind at all if Disaea3 showed me an ad during the initial loading screen [which is the only loading screen you get in the game].
