Ads on the XBOX360

With Microsoft constantly updating the XBOX360 Interface, it’s only a matter of time before people want to get in on that action. Well the time is come. Microsoft has announced that there will be advertisements on Dashboard soon. The Dashboard is the interface that you use to access everything on your system like games, downloads, the marketplace, and your data.

Although Microsoft has said that the ads won’t be in the way, the idea of ads being on a paid service is annoying. For the ads to update, you need to be online. Most people that are online have the gold subscription that costs $50. If they allow ads, then this price should be significantly reduced or have the gold membership be free. Looking at the picture, that ad looks very annoying especially at how big it is. With marketing like that, the Gold Membership better be free.
