You guys must not be really reading any of the clarifications that have been made about this. There are not going to be any MORE ads than there already are. (I feel like XBL is currently pretty light on the ads, enough where I can just ignore them and move along.) Most of the ads you see on there now are gaming related anyway. Isn't that stuff you're actually interested in?
Ads have been a sticking point in gaming for a long time. This is nothing new. I feel that MS keeps it to a minimum on the dashboard. They're not obnoxious about it. And for all you PS3 owners who are using this thread to rail on the 360, let me remind you that Home (the supposed savior of the PS3) has an entire Red Bull room. In fact, Home is almost like a living breathing ad, and will just get more and more so, as long as people actually start using it. Though I haven't heard a whole lot about it lately.
So those of you saying PSN is free AND has no ads, you're full of shit. PSN is free, yes. But it does have ads. And they're using Home as a way to get you to look at them. (It's ok, though right? They disguise them as interactive "rooms".)
And to those of you who are 360 fans and are getting all hot and bothered about this, you're not reading the story. You are taking one little thing and announcing that the sky is falling. There are going to be no MORE ads than XBL already has. They'll just be better video quality. You're just complaining to complain even after this has been clarified.
