One thing that hasn't changed much since the old days is video game commercials rarely show you the actual game being played. I was marveling at the Bioshock ad, when I saw "not actual gameplay footage" in microscopic font at the bottom of the screen.

Mind you, it's not as deceptive now as it was in the 80's, when ads for Atari 2600 games looked like something out of Tron, and Colecovision implied stuff would be flying out of your tv set.

"What? You still don't have a Sega CD?"
