@Guy Guyson: What about Dead Rising 3?

@Mister Jay: Did you ever tried an PS3? I used to say i liked xbox better too, until i managed to bought a play3, besides, if money is an issue for you PS+ gives away a lot of good games for only 50$ yearly, it's way better for a gamer in a budget.

No, advertising deals like this aren't illegal at all.

Currently, the only worthwhile game exclusive on XBox One is the as-yet incomplete Killer Instinct. The PS4 doesn't have anything worthwhile I know of, and almost all of the Wii U's best games are first party games.

@What The Hell: "The following is a paid advertisement." Ever seen that before one of those half-hour infomercials?

The issue isn't that they paid people to say nice things about their product, it's that those people were claiming honesty and impartiality.

Unfortunately according to an FTC spokesperson, neither company is actually breaking the law:

And yet, I still prefer Jane.
Maybe it's because I know Anne-Marie is doing it on purpose.

But, wait... Jane probably shows her legs on purpose too...
So... Why? What's the difference?

About the description below the comic, Jo:
'kinda' is the short version of 'kind of', so using 'kinda of' is a little too much.

Meanwhile, Valve just gave away $400,000 to the TF2 community. They did this all at once, just this month (January), to help support creators of maps, hats, and weapons. They didn't pay this to their employees, no, this was given to various community members. Wow.

They should all have their weapons in this strip. Would add +1 awesome. Also someone should call Sniper that she's free to leave her position and join. Must be starving right now. On topic: Oh no ! A topic to debate ! I must go now. See ya.

Is it just me or did Jo just foreshadow some cosplay on the way. I hope he DID! (Btw downt want to be a bit of nit picky but isn't anne's eye a bit off?) Either way keep up the good work :)

Nah, it's just payment for advertisement. Is like "our main sponsor is Sosa-Sola, Sosa-Sola is the best thing you can drink after dinner!". Or generic advertisement on TV ("Our washing powder is better then others"). They sponsoring you, you're telling good thing about their merchandise.

[url=#user_comment_341439]@Raxyz[/url] I prefer Xbox but thats only because I couldnt afford a 360 till way late. By the time i can afford Xbox one they'll be on Xbox two
almost 11 years ago
Well, it's kinda obvious, everyone who says good things about Xbone is either a stupid fanboy or a sellout.
Seriously, i've owned both PS3 and 360. PS3 is way better. And after the initial Xbone "functions", i'm not going anywhere near one.

Those youtubers are pretty much fucked, gamers always remember and hard to forgive. At least we still have people like Angry Joe and Yahtzee and Poygon site

Nobody panic! Keep Calm. Don't Panic. I can almost guarantee that Miss Engie did not see today's strip and subsequently broke out of our facility on a quest to rain bloody vengance upon her replacements. However if you do see any women matching her description please inform us here.

@? Platypus : Yeah, hiding the information is the problem, not selling out in the first place. [url=#user_comment_341417] @Shareazu[/url]: See also: Bioshock Infinity. The key is to read the most negative reviews, and see if they have any valid points. [url=#user_comment_341421] @Arbition[/url]: Duh. We're looking at the same comic, right?

I've actually read that message, it only specifies you need to say you're playing the game on the console. *That's all*.
You could very well say how much of a shit it is, as long as you indicate that you're playing on an Xbox One.

The part that is Illegal, at least in the United States where the laws apply, is that deal was required to be kept secret. The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has ruled that you have to disclose this kind of arrangement. If you're going to sell out ya gotta tell people ya sold out.

Honestly it's not like I expect a higher quality of character and morale integrity from youtubers, not any moreso than the average guy so I don't really hold them at fault.

Anne-Marie is best girl 2014, please follow and donate!!! <3 <3 <3

Not big surprise. companies have done that for some time, and will probably keep doing it. always have yer doubts when you read a 'professional' review for a new console or game; sometimes it's best to see the fans reactions, instead.

Haha, no comments yet but 5 photo notes. Clearly claiming things is more important than commenting.
