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

Xbox fans will defend anything MS, ignore them, it is assinine to see ads all over xbox, PS and nintendo don't have any. it is just who MS is. Thye don't care about gaming never have, it was a way to get a trojan horse into the living room, luckily they showed there hand and it failed.

What's the difference?

Joke post?? That is 1 section labelled WHATS NEW, you have to go there and click it, no ads anywhere else. lol, there are zero ads anywhere else on PS consoles..anywhgere, they permeate every screen on Xbox and many are not even game releated....

Not a joke post.  I turned on my PS3 and that's the first screen unless I touch a controller.  Didn't click a thing.  And no, ads don't permeate every screen.  Plus there's also an option to automatically start the game in your console.

One console has ads spread out. Bad. Another console has a ton of ads in one place plus a running ticker in the top right. Good?  And, like the Xbox 360, many of the ads have nothing to do with gaming.  Yesterday, the first thing to pop us was an ad for me to buy tickets to the movie "Lucy".  Maybe it's because the PS3 doesn't really have a bunch of different screens.  Just the XMB.

 

*edit* Lol.
