Sony has revealed the intention of putting advertising space within the games of PS3 plat form in a step aimed to overcoming the losses suffered by the company in the market of platforms games.

The company confirmed that the ads will appear in way that will not disturbing the player, but will appear through the general framework of the Games in the form of billboards, for example, or posters on walls and succession within a game itself.

Sony used on this step, two companies involved in the development of ads techniques .. they are Double Fusion and IGA WorldWide and stated that the ads will appear in the games sold in Japan, America and Europe, particularly in games that are played online so that the advertiser can control and change his ads more flexible.

In fact, I see no harm in the idea of showing ads within the electronic games, but only when it is useful to the user in the form of free games, for example, and not a mean to increase profits for producing companies only without any benefit to the user.
