I just wish Syfy and Trion had pumped it up with a Super Bowl ad. They missed a golden opportunity to generate some interest in the game and the series.

LOL. I saw that one. Reminded me at first of the scene from The Mummy when the two groups of artifact hunters were racing for Hamunaptra. Did you catch the 'sequel' they ran after the half? :)

I know.. I wanted to make a snarky comment about the Stripper Bowl 47 halftime show, but I think I'd get attacked by rabid Beyonce fans if I did. :D

$100M combined budget...
I'm sure they could have afforded it. :-) However, it's significantly cheaper for them to just advertise on SyFy, being their own network and all, and most gamers I'm sure watch a few shows on SyFy. Release will probably be quiet, but the game will likely gain momentum two weeks post release once the show airs, and word of mouth starts spreading around.

i think the game will be release 2 weeks before the tv show airs, (i think one reason is they want some characters to appear in the game before they have to go to defiance for show.)

but yea as sweetmadness said, the budget there throwing at this is freaking huge!! i suspect they havnt done superbowl because its still early, 2 months away. its to much money in terms of being to soon.

if superbowl was about 2 weeks before hand i bet it would of been there.
