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

Carl · May 24, 2012

No thanks.

WORST
BRAND
SONY

Mama Robotnik · May 24, 2012

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

Gravijah · May 24, 2012

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

Tomat · May 24, 2012

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

edgefusion · May 24, 2012

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

OSHAN · May 24, 2012

You've got to try it!

Why would this require a patent?

I don't understand patents.

Misterhbk · May 24, 2012

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 · May 24, 2012

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 · May 24, 2012

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 · May 24, 2012

Isn't this already in Wipeout HD?

slaughterking · May 24, 2012

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

Ryaaan14 · May 24, 2012

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

those are during loading screens.

Rapstah · May 24, 2012

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

Emitan · May 24, 2012

Never buying anything that uses this. Nope. Nothing.

the chris · May 24, 2012

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 · May 24, 2012

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

Fantasy Final · May 24, 2012

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

Vita's official marketing on Twitter.

Should be changed to #notdeadyet though.

Sixfortyfive · May 25, 2012

Is it Metal Gear Soda?

Surprise!

But it's the best brand soda.

Patryn · May 25, 2012

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

HawksWinStanley · May 25, 2012

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

And a bag of Doritos.

Furoba · May 25, 2012

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

MercuryLS · May 25, 2012

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

kuroshiki · May 25, 2012

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

For paid game? GTFO.

Omikaru · May 25, 2012

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

Triple Da G.O.D! · May 25, 2012

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 · May 25, 2012

Gamechanger by interrupting the game itself!

UFRA · May 25, 2012

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

US version maybe? My game doesn't have ads

Unknown One · May 25, 2012

Oh hell no!

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

ripastraea · May 25, 2012

Combichristoffersen · May 25, 2012

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

meppi · May 25, 2012

Looks like I got out just in time!

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 · May 25, 2012

Aw hell no. This would be unacceptable.
