I was just wondering if any of you guys could help me out with my thesus/dissertation/whatever..... Its going to be centred on in-game product placement, and I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of games that have many different brands displayed throughout the game. The only reason that  need help, is that I had planned to use pro evolution soccer or fifa 09, but i turned on my xbox yesterday and realised that all the billboards round the edges (eg ben sherman/adidas) had been replaced with adverts for the game that you are already playing.

i am aware that many car games are rife with product placement - especially ones where you use real products on your car, however, i'm more concerned with billboards that appear as you play the game....

other ones that have thus far been considered, but have been deemed unsuitable for various reasons are:

fight night round 3, nba 2k7, burnout paradise, virtua tennis 3, fallout 3......but similar games would be fine.....

Any help would be much appreciated!

On another note, what do you think of product placement on video games?

NHL 09 and Burnout Paradise both have some product placement in them. That's the best I can do off the top of my head.

Crackdown had ads in its billboards, but that game is kind of old so I'm not sure if those ads are still being updated.  Skate 2 had them as well.  You should really be looking at sports games for this.

Battlefield 2142 (changing billboard)
PGR4 (but it's more so for realism in a way)
Guitar Hero (vault, etc.)
FNR3 (burger king fight)
Sneak King

I was playing Far Cry 2 the other day and I saw a Wolverine poster.

Kinda funny how in the middle of the fucking African desert theres a poster advertising a brand new film.

*shakes fist at Ubisoft*
