Title: Burnout 3 Ads - What?
Post by: Shift Key on August 22, 2004, 11:05:40 PM: I'm just wondering why/how the ads for this game have ended up on PGC?
For those unaware, I have seen them when I mainly visit GC Discussion.
Considering that there is no planned GC version, its like a stab in the eye with a rusty fork.

BUY THIS GAME! OH WAIT, ITS NOT FOR GAMECUBE! MWAHAHAHAHA! *PARRY* *THRUST* *STAB* and then the hurting starts.

Would anyone have a clue? Or is EA up to shenanigans?

EDIT: One was just on the sidebar of this page. How ironic!

Anyway, Burnout 3 is going to totally own. THE WORLD.

Besides, they're sometimes advertising diverse XBox-specific things here, so it's not like their advertisers care for the demographics.

Post by: Shift Key on August 26, 2004, 03:55:17 AM: I just found it really annoying to see that game advertised here after it got "cancelled" (as far as I know) but its not the first non-Nintendo advertising here. Oh well.

AND I spotted a VJ PS2 ad on PGC too.

Yeppo, you should at least see ads on top and on the sidebar of this page. And perhaps popups if your using IE (ban'd for browser elitism oh snap)
