If I was paying for the service I'd be pretty pished. No reason to have lots of ads when you're already paying them a lot of money per year to use it. |
Let't break that picture down, shall we?
- Upper left: A copy of Halo Reach is in the disc tray
- Lower left: All of the recent games that the person has played.
- The middle: Like the opening page of IGN, it switches ever couple of seconds to show what's new on XBL. Apparently X-Men First Class is now available in videos.
- Upper right: What's new or on sale in the Video section. Apparently 30 Rock is availabel on XBL.
- Lower right: An add for the Windows Phone 7
It's just a quick glance of what you'll find if you go to the games, movies, TV, apps section.

Hmm, There;s a "ticker" in the upper right. It says that L.A. Noire (with a discount), Trine 2, and Sonic CD are available for download. It asks me to watch the new episod of "Pulse", NOW. It says that the movie Columbiana is available to download in the Video section. Ooh! Marvel Pinball and Tomb Raider Underworld are free to PS Plus users!! That's good to know if I were in the market for such things. There's some other stuff about getting paid to play online, some music artists, and a free trial for some service that worth $19.99. All of this stuff without me pressing a single button! Now, when I DO click on the "What's New button, I get.....*
Now, is it okay for Sony to take up a small portion of the screen to "advertise" what's available on the PSN? I think it's pretty cool, myself. Even the Wii shows what's available in the Wii Shop Channel and the Nintendo Channel!! Why is it suddenly wrong to know what's on your own console?
