After reading Major Nelson’s post about Silverlight ads on Xbox 360 and his explanation of how ads are going to be “a more organic part of the dashboard” I just sit back and ask myself why am I paying $50 a year to have ads shoved in my face. Here’s an idea the people at Mico$oft can think about… why not place all the ads you want on the Silver account holders? Ohhh wait I’m sure that once they too see the ads they’ll soon wonder “why would I pay $50 a year to have ads shoved in my face?” hmmm… I may just be eyeing up a discounted PS3 that usually come out around the holiday. ehh this is just my opinion I can only imagine what’s in store next a possible Xbox Live price increase? Whoa I’d better not give anyone any ideas… So what does everyone else think about the ads being punched in your face?

I totally agree with the idea of having ad’s on the Silver level XBOX accounts but people paying for Gold level Live should get what they pay for and that’s not ads. Many companies offer “Freemium” services and thats exactly what Microsoft should do in this situation. Those who pay are ad free.
I understand game developers putting ad’s into the games themselves that work as a part of the game (ie. Guitar Hero, Grand Theft Auto, etc.) but to simply plaster ad’s onto the Live screens is a major fail.

I hear ya… I just got through ranting on my blog as well. They’re just getting over the red-ring stuff… it seems like Microsoft is really working hard to alienate their customers.
