Did you know that there are alot of people that don't spend their time lurking around in forums? And did you know that the meaning of advertising is to get the message out into the public?

So do you think there should just be no advertising then?

I have to give it to you, your posts are one of the most negative i see on this forum. Quite an accomplishment i have to say. I get where it's coming from, though, and most of the time i actually agree with your posts. But sometimes i'm just wondering, in a case like this, why write a comment that doesn't add anything, in a thread that you obviously don't give a shit about and the only effect of your comment is probably that someone will feel offended by it or will feel bad cause of it. Bye the way, in case you are wondering, i'm not trying to bash you. I just felt like writing this.

1. I am in fact a negative person.
2. I get tired of seeing a thread everytime someone sees an advertisement for something they like.
3. I get tired of seeing a thread everytime someone thinks their console is about to die.
4. I get tired of seeing a thread everytime their console does die.
5. I get tired of seeing a thread everytime someone is considering getting a game but doesn't know what to get.
6. I get tired of seeing a thread everytime someone does get one of the listed games and then says nothing else about it.

As for this particular thread, Sony has ramped up their advertising campaign and it's actually good.  Yay for them!  This means you are going to see advertisements.  The OP posted that he saw one and posted like he wanted a cookie or something for seeing one and as hinted at above, these threads annoy me.  Again, I'm a negative person. 

(and that's only a small part of my list of things that annoy me, those are just the ones that have to do with with subject)

That's probably it, right? But that i already knew, cause you had to explain that to people for like a million times already

About points 2 to 6, i completely agree. But unfortunately those threads will probably never disappear. On the other hand, why should they disappear? If someone wants to start a thread like that, why not? I don't have to read it. But somehow i'm always tempted to enter certain threads, hoping that the thread is actually a good read, but most of the time i'm getting disappointed Anyway, thanx for your comment!

OT: I find the recent European PS3 commercials boring as hell. Specially compared to the "it only does everything" commercials. Sure, they're informative, and maybe they even get the message across just fine, but i really miss those crazy commercials. Like the scary crying baby, the "this is living" commercials or the ones from the PS2 era. I have to say, the Japanese "playface" commercials are great as well.

I see it all the time, as well as ads for some movie called "The Firm" which got 5/5 stars from some reviewer.

I get tired of seeing a thread where somebody complains about a missing feature on an online service which is actually there, and clearly labelled.
