That top image was never a UI on the Xbox 360.  It looks like either an attempt at sarcasm regarding ads, or someone's design proposal.  But it never looked like that.

Yes, the Volt advertisement is clearly an Ad.  It says so.

Then you hopefully get the point:

It's quite clear that there's a space for ads there. Ads that have nothing to do with the content of Live.

Excuse my ignorance, but have there always been ads on XBox Live?  This kind of seems like a slap in the face to people paying for the service if these appear on Gold members' pages.  I get ads/links to marketplace or PS Store items, but generic targeted ads like you'd see on the web?
