I have System Wars linked so I rarely look at anything on the site but that's crazy. Never seen...that kind of advertising...prominence on a gaming site.

Expect the next big PS3 game to get AAA.

Too bad we go by GameRankings now.

It just shows that Sony has money to flaunt their failure of a system. They could post this add in Timesquare and it still wouldn't save this train wreck of a console.

Yeah that really caught my attention, I normally don't see any ads but I'm on my old PC with Linux now so they showed up. Too bad Sony is a bit too late tho with most big games out already, a bit sooner and Uncharted could had been AAA.

The square banners on the side would be game logos. And Lair is one of them :lol:

They paid for advertizements. Microsoft did the same thing plenty of times and posted a skin of the 360 itself.

the mere sight of a PS3 sickens you :lol: thats sad

BTW, an inanimate object can't show "desperation" for "love", both human emotions. Sorry to disappoint you...I know you thought PS3 was a dude.

Uh, no. It's horrible opening the front page of a website just to see 90% of it filled with adds.

You're obviously a Wii hater. If the front page of a popular gaming site was filled with Japanese people swinging Wii Remotes at their TV would you like it? Thought not.

Considering Gamespot's scores of all the PS3 games out right now, that's not very likely to happen.

Most of the time when people accuse someone of being a fanboy they hate the console. Just something I'm used to I guess.

It doesn't seem like I'm getting the same adds as everyone else.. *uploads picture*

Uh, all they did was buy ad space. WE still don't know if Gerstmann was even fired due to advertisers. Gamespot has millions of hits a month, if I were Sony I'd be putting ads up here too...
