Pepsi is running an advertising insert in Entertainment Weekly that includes a video screen with audio. Mailed only to subscribers in Los Angeles and NYC, it'd be a bit of a challenge to find, but if one can get ahold of it, there's a free video billboard for your sci-fi settings. Or, if your game is set in Metropolis/Gotham City, you now have a billboard for your Times Square equivalent. If you're enterprising enough, you can load a new video onto it. link Wyatt |

That would be awesome, especially if we could figure out how to put our own 'video' on it. |

No kidding… I need to figure out how to get several of those for my Infinity city! |

Facinating. It is now cheap enough that you can mail a TV to people just to show your ads.
They're mailing TV commercials.
That just blows my mind. Also, the chip holds 40 minutes of video. That's a a lot, so you could use it as a drive-in screen showing a appropriate movie even. |

Think of those annoying greeting cards with the sounds/songs imbeded in them. No doubt the price per screen will plummet. The possibilities are limitless, except for ease of imput. |
