Sony patent could see games interrupted by compulsory ads (http://www.gizmag.com/sony-in-game-advertising/22743/)

Basically, Sony is campaigning to stop your gameplay, play an unavoidable commercial, then rewind your game a little bit and let you play again. This could happen both offline, and online. Thoughts? I personally think this is a terrible business decision on Sony's part. Sure, it'll presumably make games easier to buy, but to have the gameplay broken would take me out the moment and make the game less enjoyable.

That seems like a very bad idea that could very easily backfire...

Ummmmm are you effing kidding me?! If it ever got to the point where commercials were coming on DURING a video game, I would never play again. That's just ridiculous...
