So I guess ads on your phone or desktop home screen would be fine too, since they don't take away from the functionality?

And yes, the ads do take away from my gaming experience. I want ALL my games displayed on the home screen for easy access, or at least sone games and apps. It keeps things better organized and gives me more control over a $300 console that I have to pay $60 a year just to access the internet and get ads from Microsoft.

That's the key right there partner. I just skip them and drive on. No bitching or nothing because if the functionality was compromised I wouldn't be skipping them or ignoring them.

Alright, if you feel that ads are cool, fine. I hate them though, since they take away from my gaming experience and make it hard for me to organize my content, so I'll go on complaining, thank you very much.

And it seems most people agree with me as well. Ads are simply annoying.

isnt the point is that everything a product does will not appeal to everyone.  Some people enjoy the ads some people do not.  From this thread alone, most just ignore them unless it offer something they are interested in.  I believe the issue is not that the X1 or 360 have ads, its weather the ads on display is something you care about.  I personally enjoy ads that talk about sales.  If not for those ads I could miss out on some very good deals.  Ads on political, ESPN or things of that sort I have clicked on in the past if they interested me but most times I just ignore them.
