Ever since the game's release Burnout has had in-game advertisements for an assortment of products. Usually only on billboards(not the smashable ones unfortunately) there have been adds from everything from Insurance to McDonald's. You might even see a Gillette Fusion truck driving around(you can smash this though). I wanted to bring this up because more and more games seem to be using Xbox Live as a way to update ads in-game. Some have said that this draws you out the experience; others argue that it enriches the game by making it more life like. Marvel games, mostly Spiderman, are especially guilty of these shameless plugs.
So do you think developers should stop whoring out their games, or is it justified? I don't think it's absolutely bad its just different. In my opinion the more subtle it is the better.
And just think McDonald's, if you had let Criterion make your billboard destroyable then you would have a Real drive-thru!
