Lolll at people who complain about the ads on XBL. They're almost non-existant and most of the time they are topic related like games on the game tab, movies on the movie tab music on the music tab etc... I think ads on sites like vgc are far more annoying since some of them take the whole page or have you wait 20sec to get to pages (granted we can skip them but still) and sometimes it's just the videos starting with sound that is annoying as hell.
Good for MS if they make money out of XBL and just because they make money out of ads doesn't mean they have to stop charging if they think that model is ok (I choose to pay for XBL Gold). Both Sony and Nintendo will try to do the same next gen so don't count on MS to make XBL Gold free anytime soon unless you want really annoying ads.
