I had intended to post a glowing review of the excellent Fury add-on for Wipeout HD that I bought for ten bucks. But apparently Sony isn't content with my ten bucks. They've also sold advertising and put it into the game, essentially double-dipping by charging for content and also selling my eyeballs to advertisers.

Ingame advertising is okay in certain circumstances. This is not one of them.

So instead of a glowing review -- which will be forthcoming later -- I leave you this weekend with the image you get when a race loads. A big fat State Farm advertisement. You can see a YouTube video of it here.

(So long as I'm fulfilling my weekly allotment of Sony bashing, let me point out that Wipeout HD at least works online. Which is more than I can say for the terribly disappointing Fat Princess, which seems to be in the middle of one of those fumbled launches that plague so many online games.)
