HA! When you sign-up and invite your friends, it even tells you if the guys you're including have already played Avatar! Nice thinking 360Voice! I'm gettin' 10 of my friends together to go after that $100 best buy gift card - wanna have some "cash" ready for March & April for SSB and GTA IV.
Isn't the Pontiac Garage a part of Jimmy Kimmel Live? I'm pretty sure that's where all of his musical performances take place during the show...from that aspect it kind of makes sense for the game i guess. But having an Axe guitar to play on? Or some gum banners all over the place? Come on!
It sucks that game prices haven't gone down thanks to the advertisers, but I can also understand that development costs have skyrocketed as well, and the advertisers' dollars work to keep the price in check, but bringing the price back down to $50 would make some of these "logo slaps" easier to digest.
EA wasn't the first to do this...2K actually had Pontiac-branded achievements for participating in their Virtual Final 4 Tournament last year where some kid won a car.
