Game Politics.com have only gotten one report of this, which seems a bit odd, but an Xbox Live gamer who goes by Dragunov765 has posted photos of what appear to be in-game ads for Barack Obama.
Today Playfire launched a major update to the PF trophy system. We've overhauled the profile page trophy module significantly. It now functions like an overview and takes up way less profile page space. To do this we've moved all the trophies listed here previously to a brand new trophy cabinet page (but more on that later Wink). In the new module you can find cool stats like your percentage complete for your games and your leaderboard rank (dun dun dah!) plus lots of other cool stats about your trophies.

In a time when the video game industry as a whole is enjoying record profits month-over-month, you would be hard pressed to find a gaming exec directly asserting an anti-GameStop movement was taking place. Indirectly, however, the evidence is coalescing right in front of our eyes.
The version 1.5 patch for Burnout Paradise has went live this morning, meaning that you can now get started on building your collection.
PS3Trophies.org have just revealed the Burnout Paradise trophies that have been a long time coming.
Criterion Games announced
If you've downloaded the latest Bikes update for Burnout Paradise, codename Davis, to discover that your awards are missing, fear not. It turns out the game is still aware of your awards, but there is a bug with displaying the correct amount.
If you though the Cagney patch was groundbreaking, well Criterion promises that this second addition will be the best add-on for Burnout Paradise to date. One of the biggest additions to the game is the inclusion of motorcycles. Continue reading for a summary of the details.

From CriterionGames.com:
Jeremy Chubb, the Producer at Criterion Games posts on PlayStation blog:
Operation Burnout has discovered the map of the Burnout Paradise island on the screen of a computer in the background of a Crash TV podcast. The map isn't big or detailed, in fact it's pretty blurry and small, but you can still get an overview of the size of the place.
Criterion gives an update on what to expect when the new bike pack is released. Apparently the update extends the game another 9-10 hours. 70 new challenges are included and also a fresh new map of the city. And to top it off it is another FREE update.
Last week Criterion announced Burnout Paradise PSN for the US PlayStation Store, but made no mention of its European equivalent.
Between the monthly NPD sales data and Electronic Arts' signing of two high-profile developers to new distribution agreements, yesterday was chock-full of gaming news. While those bits grabbed the most headlines, another of yesterday's EA announcements could prove to affect the industry even more.
WorthPlaying writes: "Buckle up and prepare to unleash automotive anarchy in the ultimate burner's paradise as you are given license to wreak havoc in Paradise City, the ultimate seamless racing battleground, with a massive infrastructure of traffic-heavy roads to abuse. Burnout Paradise will be available to download from the US PlayStation Network via the PlayStation Store for $29.99 this fall."
According to Jeremy Chubb from Criterion, the upcoming software update, "Davis" (now known as "Bikes Pack"), will be completely free of charge, along with a whole host of other things.
The addition of motorcycles to Burnout Paradise -- first announced back in April as part of the upcoming "Davis" update -- was an exciting prospect for fans of the smash-em-up racing series. But those who get a particularly sick kick out of seeing road-rashed riders are in for a disappointment: According to MTV Multiplayer, whose Stephen Totilo recently got some hands-on time with the update, human bodies won't be receiving that same level of patented Burnout damage during wrecks as car bodies do.
