Goddamnit M$, isn't there enough ads on your dash...wait, what?

[Carl]

No thanks.

[a Master Ninja]

WORST
BRAND
SONY

[Mama Robotnik]

I will not be purchasing a game or console that does this.

[Gravijah]

i'm surprised something like this hasn't been patented before?

[Tomat]

This better be for free games, otherwise what the fuck?

[edgefusion]

Lots of companies have lots of patents. Worry about it when it comes to fruition, which it won't because it's stupid.

[OSHAN]

You've got to try it!

[Community Forum]

Why would this require a patent?

I don't understand patents.

[Misterhbk]

No no no no no!

Oh wait, this is just a patent to keep MS from doing this. Sony is just protecting us, they would never actually use something like this...right?

[SSReborn]

Probably for free games but still shitty nonetheless. I dont think this will see the light of day.

If anything, this will be part of the PS4 before cross-game chat.

[Sethos]

Couple that with the cloud partnership and you can have advertised powered cloud gaming, woo!

That's like a double punch to the face.

[AAK]

Isn't this already in Wipeout HD?

[slaughterking]

Maybe Sony is just trying to protect us with this patent.

[Ryaaan14]

Oh my god lmao. That whole thing reads of a parody.

[Escape Goat]

[Gravijah]

Isn't this already in Wipeout HD?

those are during loading screens.

[Rapstah]

The people who do these PDFs have some fucking humour all right.

[Emitan]

Never buying anything that uses this. Nope. Nothing.

[the chris]

Nothing would inspire me to buy a soda more than the game pausing itself and an annoying ad coming up.

where does this come from... been seeing this several times now

[daycru]

I can already see the op-eds calling anyone who has a problem with this a petulant manbabby and/or MegaHitler.

[Fantasy Final]

I hate what gaming is becoming.....i really hate it

[SSReborn]

where does this come from... been seeing this several times now

Vita commercials/marketing

[StoppedInTracks]

where does this come from... been seeing this several times now

Vita's official marketing on Twitter.

Should be changed to #notdeadyet though.

[Sixfortyfive]

Is it Metal Gear Soda?

[amtentori]

Surprise!

[Rapstah]

Never buying anything that uses this. Nope. Nothing.

You've got to try it at least!

Probably for free games but still shitty nonetheless. I dont think this will see the light of day.

hopefully this will just be for free games in Home

[gashikunFLCL]

Never buying anything that uses this. Nope. Nothing.

But it's the best brand soda.

[Patryn]

I think it'd be more likely to turn a person OFF from buying a product by doing this than actually getting sales.

[HawksWinStanley]

Kind of OT but this thread reminded me how much I want a Doritos Crash Course 2.


And a bag of Doritos.

[Furoba]

They need to patent dynamic product placement. turn any barrel or crate in a fps into a product seamlessly!

[MercuryLS]

Also, mods could you do me a favor and change the title from Soda to Pop? Pop4Lyfe.

[kuroshiki]

I don't mind this if this is for free games. Money has to be made somehow.

For paid game? GTFO.

[Omikaru]

Oh hey guys, the ads aren't so bad. You barely notice them after a while!

[ReXXXSoprano]

If this means that one day I can play an HD version of Fighting Vipers with Pepsi Man in it then do whatever the fuck you want.

[Ryoku]

Gamechanger by interrupting the game itself!

[UFRA]

Oh shit, I've got to try it!!

[yurinka]

those are during loading screens.

US version maybe? My game doesn't have ads

[Crakatak187]

Oh hell no!

Not like this...not like this...

[ripastraea]

[Combichristoffersen]

Out of the three console manufacturers, I actually expected MS to be the one to patent something like this. Heh.

[meppi]

Looks like I got out just in time!

[Mama Robotnik]

Why would this require a patent?

So that Sony's competitors don't steal what is sure to be a gamechanging, industry-leading, innovative, consumer-driven and undoubtedly successful strategy from the metageniuses at Sony Corporation.

I mean, when potential consumers discover the convenience, entertainment and masterful implementation of advertisements that suspend your purchased game, try to sell you something, and eventually restore control of your purchased console to you after a predetermined amount of time, the market will flock to the Playstation Family in droves to experience such a graceful combination of gaming and product-exposure educational infomercials.

If any console can do this, then the mass exodus of gamers to Sony due to this remarkable feature will not occur.

That's why we have patents, simple really.

[Coppertracks]

Aw hell no. This would be unacceptable.
