How much is a DLC that would remove ads worth?

This idea is crazy. Let me be the first to acknowledge that. However, I feel forced into this position. It is completely improper to insert television-style ads into a game a year after its release. It is multifariously wrong -- aesthetically, socially, morally, and perhaps even legally in some places.

These ads are purely about money, since they are not inside the tracks and do not affect the aesthetics or even affect gameplay at all, beyond delaying it. So, I assume the only way Sony is going to remove them is with money, which raises the question, "how much?"

I don't mean to ask this question of you, the players, necessarily. What we are willing and able to pay may not even approach what Sony can make through advertising. So, part of my question is, "how much does Sony make from each of us by advertising?"

I seriously doubt it's that much, no where near $10 per person per year. I admit to guessing at that number, but also overestimating. It might even be less than a dollar, depending on how people respond. But, Sony will probably keep the ads in regardless, since sales have already peaked for them and don't have many future sales to lose.

Still, there has to be some price they're willing to take from a consumer that makes them think, "alright, we'll take the ads out for that." I wonder what it is.
