Consider the James Bond movies as the best example of this. I
remember reading that Coca-Cola paid a hefty sum to have a Sprite
billboard prominently placed in one scene. Both BMW and Volvo
successfully introduced a new line of automobiles by having them
appear prominently in the movies before they were even on the showroom
floors. Obvioulsy this doesn't work in many instances but I don't
think I would even blink at a Century 21 sign outside a for-sale house
in something like The Sims.
