Owning some Sony stock, I found this article interesting & thought I\'d pass it on...

This is quite interesting news - but expected to happen. Games are, very much, getting more and more movie-like. I don\'t mean the gameplay here, but the graphics, wich are getting terribly real. And it is a fact that youth today play videogames as much, even if not more ( like in my case ), than watch television.
So, my opinion is, if there\'s going to be advertizements in the games a lot in the near future, the target-age-group of this advertizing ranges from 10-30. So be expecting to see Sony\'s televisions and products on Playstation 2 soon ;)

In Spiderman, there are numorus advertisments for Tony Hawk 2, there is my two cents:)

remember fighting vipers on the saturn, those pepsi ads pisse me off!

As long as they are held within the context of the game setting, it\'s AOK with me.
For example. Say your playing Tony Hawk or other skate/snow/BMX type game. Seeing Mountain Dew vending machines would be fairly normal and would not adversly effect the game atmosphere. I mean, if your in a skate park or other public sporting place, more than likely you will see these things.
On the other hand, seeing a soda vending machine in ZOE or FF9 would SUCK!!
