Pretty much it's getting harder and harder each day for 360 fanboys to defend that 50 dolla' pricetag.the NXE is supposed to be your personal space.:/ |
A) If you're still paying $50 a year for Live Gold, you're an idiot.
B) The NXE dash is NOT hard to defend. NXE and Xbox Live are awesome services. Especially after you see PSN in action.
C) I pay extra money every month for HBO. I pay extra money for HD cable. I paid money for all of my games that have ads IN GAME. (I'm looking at you, EA and Ubisoft!!). At least the Xbox Live ads usually pertain to things I actually may be interested in. Do I ever click on any of them? No. Could I tell you one thing about the content of any of them? No. Because I have the option to navigate right past them, which is what I always do.
This is all belly aching just to belly ache. Ads are everywhere and always will be. I heard a TV executive once say that the whole point of TV shows is to get you to watch long enough to get to the commercials. I think you can take that philosophy and extend it into almost any other media. How much of the last magazine you read was ads and how much of it was actual content. You paid extra money for that, right?
Jeez guys, play your games and shut up. Nobody is holding a gun to your head to force you to read ads.
EDIT: And I STILL stand by my statement in another post--PS HOME is just a gigantic ad too, or at least parts of it are. No, you don't pay extra for it, but you're still being suckered.
