| Genius! Since they can limit the views by state, are they also able to limit views to those old enough to vote? |

I would wager so. What I find interesting is the long term potential of this. Playing MLB 09 and you are getting Dr. Pepper adds behind the catcher in Texas, Coca~Cola in Georgia, and Fanta in Arizona. It could be a great marketing step and would be a phenomenal revenue stream for game developers. It truly is genius. |

| Advertisers definitely have to find new venues to get eyeballs. Who the fuck watches TV commercials anymore? The logical place to look for views is where the eyeballs are, such as video games. |
