There should be an option for users to disable the ads.

 

Specially for Gold subscribers. 

IMHO at this point Microsoft has to make a pick, either Gold revenue or advertisement revenue. Demanding a quote for the premium service and attaching ads on top of it is just over the top.

That or a discounted Gold subscription with ads.



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

God damn thats pathetic!  dirty money-whoring grubs!  I tell you , its almost as bad as the fact that I pay taxes to have decent roads to drive on, and have to be subjected to the damn ads on the side of the road!  

I mean its not like i have to watch/be subjected to ads and telemarketers on the other services i'm paying for like Cable/Direct TV, internet , phones, newspapers.

Whats next?!?!  Are they gonna start sending ads through a device that willforce me to think about their ads 24/7!!!

 



Am I on the easyjet website?
I keep seeing their logo everywhere on this site.

Oh wait I'm on the internet. Ads are everywhere.
This is so damn intrusive and distracting.

Oh wait....
It's not.




Apart from the Evony ad.



Serious question. Why does the 360 need ad's when you pay for the service? I know Vidzone on ps3 has ad's but it's nothing major and it is free.

sure the 360 has ads but these are nothing major considering you can completely ignore them and its not like they force you to look at the ads.

So MS can make more revenue and reduce operating cost for the consumer.
Take the money to improve services and add features. So they don't have to increase the cost of Gold or even reduce it (yeah right)
Why do I pay for SKY and get ads?
This is a common business practice which you've all experienced so why is it the worst thing ever now?

for those that don't a 360 it seems.

The ads are barely noticeable, though only by PS fans for some reason.

It's also free to use.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

About 95% of my 360 usage is spent playing games, not browsing NXE ads, so I can't say I'm that bothered.



I hope that's what Sony meant when they said there's no need to copy XBL anymore :D
