I cant help but feel weird seeing third party video game ads with them ending with a 360 logo. This is totally new to me Ive been so use to seeing the PS logo appear after a video game ad since 1995.....Anyone else find it weird?

Developers want to appeal to the largest fanbase. And right now that is the 360.

Name one what? A commercial or a game or what? I saw alot of Madden commercials, especially when watching ESPN, that was branded with the 360. If I didn't know better, I would swear it wasn't on the PS3. There is one for you.

Microsoft is also allegedly helping with the marketing of some third party games.

EA has been advertising the 360 after all ofits commercials, the only one that actually uses the PS3 button layout I think is NBA Live 08. I dont know Sports = PS back in the day.

True, i've seen bioshock with just the 360 logo.
I wonder who buys into that ^ ^.
Well and Halo 3, and others i can't remember.

A few ps3/wii commercials, but less.

If alot of you people haven't noticed a lot of the games that have had commericals on the 360 games a lot of them have been because the 360 was either the lead platform or it was just coming out for it exclusively, or just the 360/PC. The only commericals I have seen for the PS3 has been the exclusive ones.

so far, NBA Live 08 was the only 3rd party game that used only PS3 logos in it.

I am sure MS is doing this. It makes sense to have their brand identified with these games.
