What a load of bullshit.

I could understand Nintendo and Sony doing this because their services are FREE.

People who pay $50 a year, should not have to deal with ads...

Silver users, on the other hand, I can understand, because that is still free...

Maybe that will help us get better online on PSWii...

But MS is ridiculous...

Pretty much it's getting harder and harder each day for 360 fanboys to defend that 50 dolla' pricetag.the NXE is supposed to be

your personal space.:/


Your bitching about something you never noticed. You dont have to watch  and doesnt pop up full screen like PSN. It's intergrated into the actual normal windows. LOL.

It's like complaining that Corranation Street is on BBC 1. You know what, filck the channel you have a choice to watch it. LOL

PSN is FREE. XBL is Paid for. Any comparisons of that type are moot.

What the hell Is BBC?IS it some secret TV channel that only Europeans get? And I don't know what Corranation street is, so I'm lost in your comparison. If it was free to use this site, but you had to paying a yearly fee to be on the forums, and then they started putting ads on all user's pages, even the users who paid, wouldn't you be a tad bit upset with that?

Here's an example (Note that I don't even use this site anymore):

Myspace hosts your webpage. Myspace is free, but much more limited. Myspace has their ads that you can't get rid of.

GoDaddy lets you host your page for a yearly fee, and you can put whatever you want on it, no ads (or you can put your own on there, it's your choice).

 

What if GoDaddy started forcing it's clients to put third-party ads on their pages, keeping the same fee, and not giving out a slice of the pie? Needless to say, some people would be a tad bit upset. Myspace is PSN, and GoDaddy is XBL.

Dude you got issues. BBC is UK number 1 TV channel. The ads on Live dont even hinder you at ALL. Like everyone has said. Noone has mentioned anyhting on here for months, and they have been there for months. Very clealry it hasn't bothered ANYONE. IT doesn't just pop up out of the blue. IT is in it's designated window. As you scroll through the windows, you just keep scrolling if you dont want to watch it. Simples. No hinderence or annoyance at ALL. And as the last few months have shown, noone even you have not been bothered enough to write a thread about it. Unless you bought your 360 yesterday?

And this year I got it for $29.99..

Look at how people poor $14.99 a month into their fave MMO,  just for one game to play online...

1. I LIVE IN THE US. I DO NOT GET/WATCH CHANNELS IN THE UK. I WAS JOKING.
2. I haven't gotten to play my 360 for about 4 weeks, because my brother took it on a trip... I got it in '08.
3. I just think it is ethically wrong. Paying is paying. It feels like I'm being cheated... Unfortunately there's not much I can do about it. Think how much faster they could make downloads with the bandwith they use for advertising... And no I don't think they're fast enough when I have to wait 5 - 10 min. to download 3 GH:WT songs...

Thank you JaggedSac.

I've seen this for long in my japanese account.
There was a lovely christmas ad presenting many characters from adventure games.
Square Enix games were announced in the dashboard like this too.



360 + Wii + Steam

Does anybody really believe these ads are not going to get more intrusive as the profits increase?
