2.10 advert discussion, NOT a lawsuit thread.

[Lance]

For those who still want to vent about this subject. If you want to sue Sony, go outside the WZ to do it.

Bllllllllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggg ggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhSonyhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

*phss*
I'm done with venting for about three hours.

[Lance]

Well done!

[Golgofier]

Do people get sound with the adverts? I don't (not that I'm complaining, just curious). Sorry for slight OT.

[SaturnReturn]

Indeed people do. That's part of what irritates a lot of people I think - the fact that they can be quite loud. I think maybe the newer ones are quieter, or possibly different ads just have different volume levels.

[Golgofier]

Oh, well that's odd since I only see the ads, no audio. Maybe regional differences then, or we'll chalk it up as another bug (be it an agreeable one

[Lance]

VEry agreeable; you're lucky.

[JaLK]

I find it quite unfair that only some regions of the world gets ads and some don't. I mean come on. It's not like the American(generally speaking) deserve to get adds and we don't.

If you're going to put ads in your game then make it for everyone at the very least.

[Effedieffe]

.... I only see the ads, no audio....

I too but I play without music, only race effects

[AG-wolf]

for all the BS and commotion about them, I have ironically never seen one yet since I've been able to play online during my winter break from school.

I feel like I might be pushing my luck by posting about it, and I've probably jinxed myself now But really, should I have seen one by this point or do they not show up in US consoles?


...(Knock on wood)

I still get the occasional advert. The most frequent being an advert for some deodorant/energy drink that I can quite see properly so I can't actually tell what it is. The logo is also quite small and intricate so I don't even know what brand it is.

I haven't played WipEout since last week so I don't know if it's still there, though. There did seem to be less adverts which was good, but I can't say anything for certain.

[Rezatron]

I'm in Canada and have only seen one ad. It was a trailer for the movie "Armored." I started seeing it around the middle of November right up until it hit theaters Dec 2, now nothing. I presume Sony hasn't been able to secure anymore advertising deals, rather than simply deciding to pull the ads.

Frankly I question the effectiveness of such advertising, after seeing that trailer 50+ times the last thing I wanted to do was go see the movie.

[stin]

Yes, we do get adverts occasionally.

Amorbis, It`s Relentless, an energy drink.

I haven't started WO whilst being signed in since about 2 weeks after the ads were introduced.
I dunno if ads would still be there if I signed in before starting WO, not really willing to risk it though

[greenymac]

Why are there ads on the loading screen?

They've been there on and off for a very long time now.

[subtotal]

i must have seen The Hangover II trailer 2 million times now ,
thankfully it seems to have stopped

- i'm sure it makes loading times longer though

[Ace3cube]

lol yep, it's boring :x

[Frailavi]

I've had ads since I first started playing AND I DON'T WANT YOUR DR PEPPER AND PLEASE STOP TACKLING THAT POOR GUY! I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU STILL CATCH HIM OFF GUARD AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!

[Dan Locke]

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but my copy of Wipeout HD is now AD-FREE! Yes! You read that right!

This is just about the most awesome thing ever.
