    Default Playstation 3: Now Featuring Commercial Breaks!



    PS3 users, this is a good one!

    If there's one thing that video games need, it's commercial breaks. After all, who doesn't get sick of being immersed in an interactive experience after a few hours? Every now and then, it's nice to get booted out of your match to watch a soft drink ad, right? Apparently, that's exactly what Sony thinks.

    A patent filed by Sony Computer Entertainment America in 2011 describes an advertising system in which a game would be "suspended" during play, an advertisement would come up, and then the game would continue – much like TV commercials interrupt segments of programming. According to the patent, ads would be preceded by a warning and a slowdown of gameplay, with another warning displayed when gameplay is about to resume.

    The mere filing of a patent is no indication that this will be implemented, simply that the idea came up...

    But when you're out there partying, horsing around, someone out there at the same time is working hard.

    Someone is getting smarter and someone is winning.

    Just remember that.

    Wow. If they do this I would be shocked. But I guess it's coming to that.. some day.

    Sometimes I wish I never felt the influence of you.
    Because now I feel the disconnect, like an open book.
    Where you once were there is a space that runs as deep as hell.
    Every morning when I wake up, I tell myself...

    Don't be fooled by your emptiness, there's so much more room for happiness. (yeah)

    Good question! It's ridiculous what these companies will try to get in the consumer's face and pocket.

    Woow... if you really think that's a good thing, you really are cronic consumer ( suppose everyone in the U.S. is)

    the only reason i see it good is because the online playing will stay free.

    Correct me If I'm wrong, but were they not going to make users pay to play online?

    What happened to that?
