Not a fan of the adds either. However it's scary the reasoning some people have and how easy it is for people to justify and roll over.

Why does it have to be people rolling over.  Some people like the ads.  I personally do not see a problem because the majority of the time its informing me about a deal I might be interested in.  I do not know about anyone else but I never leave the home screen.  I am either playing a disc game which the interface defaults to.  If I download a game its under the recent.  If its a game i am going to play alot I add it to my pinned list.  The home screen is my place to do everything so having ads that inform me on things going on with the entire system is fine in my book.  If anything that little junk ad at the botton right hand corner could easily go but the main one I actually think is ok.

It is rolling over, no question. The justifying that goes on is absurd! We have a Xb1 in the house and when it's on I see add's for things that are not gaming related and things the owner has no interest in all the time. Why are you paying to see add's? If Live was offered as an add supported service I would have no issue! But you have so many none gaming related add's shoved down your throat and there is no need for it when you are paying for the service. Remember when satellite radio was marketed as commercial free?
