    Wow thats an actual iPod. What use does it have in the game? Can you listen to smooth jazz while you're setting C4 in Groznygrad?

    I actually find that product placement can be a nice touch. As long as every other sentence doesn't advertise the product and the company's logo waves around randomly on the screen whenever you press a button, it's pretty cool. It's all in the implementation (see Burnout Paradise's billboards, for example).

    iPod = Custom Soundtracks in MGS4 that would be pretty interesting, would also be fun to see the iPod attached to snakes waste with white wires trailing all over the place.

        I agree, that would look bad.
        Still interesting stuff.
