Ok, so we get targeted ads as opposed to random ads that won't even appeal to us....so what?

So there shouldn't be ads everywhere in the first place when you PAY FOR SOMETHING!!!  This is clearly a console that wants to profit not from having the happiest customers, but from getting the most out of the sheeple.  It is just wrong...

We have been getting them with 360 for a while now. Its just the way the world is moving. You buy a TV, you watch commercials. You watch a popular YT channel, you see a mandatory ad before it starts.

Your problem is not with MS, and I feel this is just people fishing for something to hate on them. This is just self-entitled BS.

You should know the real purpose is to have a unified instal base as opposed to 360 kinects. But that sounds too rational to be true right?

At this point all bets are off when it comes to assuming MS will make good common sense choices.   All of those months of rumors I said: "I won't believe it until MS says it themselves."  Then with the arragance of a company that thinks it won 2 gens in a row (Instead of losing both) they said all the bad stuff.  

Also, like I said I had meetings with people who worked with kinect.  It does constantly collect a creepy amount of your data (I believe he said they will be able to tell where you eat every night) whether you like it or not, and our marketing department loves that!
