I told you October 14 about the first-ever case where a political ad was placed inside a console game. The Obama campaign placed a billboard ad inside the Xbox game Burnout Paradise. It emerged today that the ad cost $44,000. The question is: Was it worth it? After all, how many Burnout

Paradise players are voters — and how many are making voting decisions while racing? What did they get for $44,000? The reply: MASSIVE PRESS (according to Google as of that posting, more than a quarter of a million pages of publicity). (props to GamePolitics.com)
