Pretty soon we'll have ads in the mirror while you are taking a dump in the bathroom. Where will it end?

They had this ages ago with The Day The Earth Stood still, They don't get in the wy at all.

I wonder if they'll have an achievement for watching 100 ads or so.

Seen these several times, they appear when you navigate into the video section. I didn't even really think of them as ads, more like movie clips running in the background.

WAIT what?
not intrusive? its a paid service!.
even the internet doesn't have ads anymore.

I agree with doing it if is free, otherwise no.

Well it seems that most people have not clicked on the ad since it take's you to 1vs100 and then it shows that Telus is the sponser.

Based on this, sponsering a game should be ok.

Online gaming is essential. No one will stop paying for gold to sacrifice online gaming. MSFT knows this, thus they wont give a shit. Its lame. yes. But this is what MSFT can do when they have almost a 30 million install base who have probably invested enough into the 360 to not warrent themselves throwing that away to migrate away form this. Good business even though its lame as shit.

I actually like these ads. Gives me something watch when I'm not playing something. You can always choose not to watch it ;)

i actually remove ads for everything i can especially sound ones.

i stopped using messenger when the new version came out, just because they have that brad pit movie trailer playing again and again.
til i found a patch to remove it.

same for firefox... i couldn't stand ads and pop ups.

If you have the paid XBL thing and still see this than wow... just wow...
