i put it wrong last time anyway
Online gamers are being targeted by US election hopeful Barack Obama in a world-first for political campaigns.
Obama ads have appeared in the Burnout Paradise game
The Democrat presidential candidate has bought advertising space inside the popular Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation game Burnout Paradise.
Gamers are greeted by billboards featuring the candidate and his website address as they speed round the racetrack
Senator Obama's campaign has been prolific on Facebook and YouTube but this is believed to be the first time a political candidate has targeted online games.
"Gaming replicates an extremely interactive environment, and the Xbox vote is an important segment of the electorate - if they vote, that is," political web strategist Jag Singh told Sky News Online.
"The way it works is that all these Xboxes are hooked up to the web, and the content providers are easily able to target these machines based on a whole range of criteria."
This includes the age of the person who purchased (and registered) the console, gender and the type of games they play.

"I vote for change… A change of Console"
(as it was showing that this Advertisment was on the 360)
