The part I like is if it crashes and you try to skip forward, have to watch a set of ads for each part you skip
I only had a play for a few minutes when it first came onto PS3. The experience was enough to put me off forever.
I got some mail spam from Sky the other day that they're going to integrate iPlayer, ITVplayer and Demand5 into the Skybox alongside their own VOD offering. I can't even be bothered to plug the ethernet lead in, let alone set up my account to use Anytime+.
Proper stone age over there!Ha! You're spoiled. Over here we get 4OD (but with bits missing), RTE Player (which is technically OK but the content is shite), and 3Player, which is technically even poorer than ITV Player. No iPlayer at all (unless I buy an iPad and a subscription - I don't mind paying a sub but fuck the iPad), and no Anytime+ even though my Sky subscription is more expensive than the same sub in the UK. No Lovefilm, no Blinkbox, no Demand5. And they wonder why people pirate stuff....
Bit off topic, but relating to adverts, I wonder if the price of putting adverts on TV has gone down since the release of Sky+ and stuff.
Can you not use a proxy to watch iPlayer ? Pretty sure my brother does that from China.. maybe not for iPlayer but something else (?maybe his flatmate does it for some of the online US channels)
We al pay attention to adverts, it's not about making you spot something and going out to buy it, they are subtly brainwashing the masses to influence them on the day they are in the shops and familiar branding fires up the 'friends' part of the brain, it's all worked out and they're not idiots. though times are hard and our local Aldi is rammed these days , but of course Aldi copy all the packaging, i don't know how they get away with it.
