Game on! Apple highlights sports games in new ad
Continuing its creative interactive blitz on high profile websites, Apple has begun placement of a new iPod touch ad on ESPN.com. Like the ad on IGN, which fellow TUAW-er Josh Carr recently featured, the ad on ESPN.com showcases a variety of games that interact with and shake up the site's menu. Unlike previous iPod touch ads on ESPN.com, which featured a mix of both sports and non-sports games, this campaign is sports oriented: for example, Madden 10 (US$9.99) [iTunes link] and Homerun Battle 3D (US$4.99) iTunes link] are shown as the ad passes through the NFL and MLB sections of the site. Game on!

ESPN/IGN better be paying to have these ads on their site. I know I sure would.

The links on a couple of the menus (if not all of them) differ slightly from the ones on the site now. Oh well, it's still cool.

PSP go processor speed: 480MHz
iPhone 3GS processor speed: 600MHz
I know, processor speed isn't everything.
