sony is buying up ad space all over the place, and this is a video game site so of course they would advertise here. Why not?

Considering you have 5200 posts, this was an extremely unintelligble one. You obviously don't understand how the real world works.

The casual person who visits this site has no interest or knowledge of the Jeff debacle. It will help Sony to Advertise more as long as it's not the weird goofy ads.

Ads are designed to promote product awareness. Do you think anyone that would come here would have no clue the PS3 existed?

Add to that the fact that Sony put Lair in the ad. We all know the sentiment for that game around here.

By that logic, there shouldn't be any game or system advertisements here on the site, cuz everybody that comes here, already knows all if exists... yeah... uhm no.

Lair actually sells fairly decent for a "Horid" game, maybe not everyone who buys it cares about reviews.

not just harcdore gamers come to this website. if you google something about videogames you will most likely be directed to this site. like if you are looking for cheatcodes, stradegy guide, or almost anything about videogames.

IGN and GameSpot are both usually on the first page of a google search.

Games come out every week, they need ads for attention. Consoles, on the other hand are rather omnipresent.

Have you ever seen an ad for the 360, Wii, or DS? I havent, except to advertise new colors of the DS.

Um. Yes, yes I have. A few Wii ads, many 360. We're just in the middle of a Ps3 advertising trend right now.

Honestly it's probably not going to be a waste. Not only here but those awful Saliva and Rachet tv commercials are playing on every channel at every commercial break and mindless people will buy the hype and the system despite it's lack of great games this season. Sony is desperate for sales right now and they will do well from these constant flow of adds.

Same here. Everytime I see I think to myself, "hopefully people doesn't fall for this hype" or I just change the channel to come back when its gone.

Wasn't Microsoft losing money until Halo 3 came out? I remember reading someone that they had not made a centsince thefirst Xbox. (But this was a long time ago near the start of the year.)
