Seems I'm just a lucky guy then - I haven't seen a single ad yet!

I used to get the same one over and over again at every race I did online at some point, but recently I've hardly seen any. They finally stopped talking about fight club, yay!

Like O_BR said, in Scandinavia there havenĀ“t been a single advert for the last month or so
I guess we owe our luck to Doctor Mannevond

Moderator message.
Since the advert discussion thread already existed, I appended AG-Wolf's new advert thread, started today, to the earlier thread. A redirect has been left for two days.

@JJPAP : Hell Yeah! Power to the People
But I highly doubt it. I got a written reply (a real letter on paper) today from the norwegian consumer protection agency. There's no law preventing Sony from spamming my games with ads as long as they comply with the marketing law of norway.

I haven't seen any ads for about three to four weeks. Has Sony stopped showing them for good?

I don't know, probably not. I thought maybe after New Year's there'd be new contracts starting, but it looks like that is not the case.
It is possible they recognized how asinine they were being. Or the advertisers don't think the cost is worth it. Or both? The latter may have caused the former.
I'm dreaming. There'll be ads soon. A few people work in the advertising industry here. It can be very unpredictable, right?

Haven't seen an ad since november now. Have they really stopped doing it? If that's the case, can I please have another patch to remove all the ad-serving crap that was bolted on top of my beautiful game?

Heh, I never had any ads, except for the Fury expansion pack. And that was for a month, before I got the pack for Christmas, after which they went away.

Two month ago I had ads in the game, but from my online session last week and
yesterday I can say that there aren't any ads anymore, at least for me. If the
game stays that way I may consider to play more often.

imagine how rubbish it would be if they put commercial breaks into wipeout..
you halfway through a race and suddenly the game freezes for everyone and you gotta sit there to watch loads of adds then the game resumes..
sound bad.but adverts in loading time imo is only one step behind this becoming a reality.
tbo its all about cash if a game makes more money by wrecking it with adverts than from keeping it pure they will always go for the adverts.company need money happy fans wont feed your family as well as a fat check from the advert company.
they will basically push fans as much as possible to get their prfits as high as possible.
hopefully i am just being negative and i am completly wrong..but i dont think soo.

You are indeed completely wrong. Nobody would buy a game that interrupted them with commercial breaks - heck, people even avoid free games with intrusive advertizing. A "fat check from the advert company" wouldn't begin to cover a loss like that.

You might not be that wrong, jade, since 'nobody' ever thought it would happen to TV.
At a given point in time gaming will become like 'TV', either you pay or you have to deal
with all the **** flying straight into your face.

And since we pay for the game, we don't have ads.
Did the home video release of a movie or TV show ever have commercial breaks?
