Rockstar and co are certainly doing the buisness there arent they? Countless adverts on tv, in the mags, all the game shops windows in town, and then, driving home from Uni in Sheffield yesterday, in the space of a mile I saw 3 huge billboards on the sides of buildings advertising the game.
Its obvious they spent alot of money on the advertising, but did they really need to? Sure they needed to, to some extent, but i think most of the gaming world knew the game was coming out, and those that didnt would more than likely have been told. Its being shoved in our faces though more than EA do with Fifa, and they give a good go at brainwashing us to buy that.
And getting the rights to the Guns N' Roses song 'Welcome to the Jungle' for the TV ad wasnt cheap I bet.
And I still dont have the game...

No. It isn't in the game. It's just the advertising for it. Like SA.

I know what you mean though, it is everywhere, i don't have a copy yet either, it was sold out but i've ordered it.
It is everywhere but i still think some companies do it out of their own will, like putting posters up themselves etc...
The thing is, i think you have to advertise games like this, some people want to see adverts and stuff before deciding.

Yeah, thats what I thought. I'm not a fan of that kinda music but I dont actually remember listening to it on VC Radio though, wasn't it on a TV advert?
