So why are people OK with ads on the 360/One dashboard?

I love the ads. They basically tell you what Xbox Live is offering in the store. I think they look really nice and add some diversity to the dashboard.

Its really not a big deal or something to get all bent outta shape about.

I mean wouldn't you like to know if there is a deal out there? I would.

A political debate is a can't-miss deal? Most of the ads are for new, full-priced games/movies or even non-gaming, only the minority are for sales.

I wouldn't say it was a 'Can't Miss Deal".  I'd say it was something that was being shown live for free on the Xbox 360's live event viewer and some users might have been interested in viewing it.  I know people have differing opinions but I think it's good for a console that can do multiple things to tell you some of the things it can do.  Otherwise, I'd be missing out on something I'd potentially enjoy.

 

And I missed that debate live.  When I heard that Obama kinda talked shit (That is such an old pic, btw!) I went back and watched it on my Xbox. Glad I had the option just like I watched E3 on it. It's not a bad thing.
