Don't we have other examples in our lives where we pay for a service and still get advertisements? I have Sirius radio that is "ad free", but I still manage to spend a third of my time listening to ads. I see plenty of advertisements at the movie theater (ads for non-movie related items), and same thing on Directv. Adding advertisements to XBL and PSN are a logical progression for online gaming. Maybe the ads will allow MS to keep the price of Gold the same, or enhance other services. I don't necessarily like advertisements, but it won't cause me to leave the service. The bottom line as a consumer, you have the choice of cancelling the service if you don't like what it offers.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
