The last couple of days I've had this Rogers advertisement right above the ticker and to the right of it. Kind of annoying.

when you start the game and it starts loading rosters start hitting the A button to cancel connecting to EA servers and it will stop.

Its insane where they put it and how big it is. Its almost like visiting a crappy website. if this is how the gaming future looks its bleak indeed...

I can handle ad's but not in my face like so...

If you think about it, the price of new games hasn't risen much since the NES days. I think new carts were US$50 back then, compared to US$60 now. At the same time development costs have skyrocketed. A lot of games have budgets that compare with medium-budget movies.

If ads are keeping the price of games from rising, they're OK with me.

Fair point, but production costs have dropped and you have alot more capable tech people walking around than you did 20 years ago.
