Go to www.Gamespot.com

www.gametrailers.com

I see WoW ads all over the web too, even non gaming websites all the time, and also NSMBW lately.

LOL THIS IS KIND OF FUNNY, go to the 360 page on gamespot, and its an entire page full of PS3 ads. The ps3 page has no ads, and the wii page has PSP ads..

they did the same thing with IGN, MS/nintendo has done it in the past so I guess it's just the way of advertising

About time Sony took the customers seriously. Just think how different today would/might look if they would have started this type of campaign a few years ago?

And Blizzard and WoW...that game makes so much money its almost criminal. That is one game that doesn't need the marketing (they should worry more about keeping current customers than getting new ones)

I don't think the PS3 was at a low enough price tag to do this heavy of advertising. It would have had much less of an effect.

That is how I feel anyways.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
