See, times haven't been so good for your buddy Ernie. And when you buy something that says Ghostbusters on it, I get some money. In the biz, we call it a "residual." I know what you're saying: "Ernie, isn't it a bit troubling that around half the trailer is just clips from the movies?" Listen, what part of "hard times" do you not understand?

Actually, 76% of the clip is game-play footage (all though some of that does have movie footage playing adjacent to it.) The clip is ~1:55 and I timed ~28 seconds of screen-dominating movie clips. I actually wrote a quick program to time mouse-clicks, instead of just eyeballing it.

and limiting their product to less than 50% of the market just seems retarded.
someone has to pay for the gaping wound that Sony is bleeding Bluray out of.

...And it would also apply to James Bond. Please someone tell me that they noticed the more than just product placement in Casino Royale.

I can only repeat: please, please, please be good.
If it's not good yet, hold it back. Make it good. We'll wait. Really we will.
