Didn't someone patent in-game adverts? I suspect it could have been
Microsoft. Also see the following:

Microsoft to make the most of a PS3-less Christmas
,----[ Quote ]
| Anyway, back to Microsoft's Christmas advertising blitz, the firm is
| quick to admit it's an unusually high spend. "It's probably well in
| excess of double what we've typically spent on a Christmas," said
| Xbox marketing boss Stephen McGill to trade magazine MCV. "With Sony
| not being here and Nintendo coming in with limited stock the
| opportunity for us is pretty significant. Most of the £14 million
| will be spent on getting consistent TV airtime."
|
| So today's takeover of The Metro is clearly just the beginning.
| Expect to see Xbox 360 start dominating the TV ad space any day now.
