Not really relevant but in-fact inevitable that they will at some point.kiri2tsubasa said:The7Sins said:Just 1 more reason people should give up consoles and join the PC master race.Memory serves me right, the PSN doesn't have non-game related ads. No idea with the Wii.mad825 said:PCs can skip Ads.

This. This is a premium service that we pay a fair bit for (I have a Gold Family Account, so that's about £80 a year). On top of that we pay for the internet connection and some of these apps (Netflix being another £6).Nuke_em_05 said:I'm not comfortable with advertisements on pay-for services. Xbox LIVE Gold is a pay-for service.
I can understand commercials on pay-for cable, since you only pay the provider for the connection, and the adverts are for each individual network.
With the apps on my Xbox 360, I'm not paying Microsoft for the connection, I'm paying my ISP. If the individual apps, such as YouTube, Zune, and Hulu have adverts, that's fine; but I don't know why I have to pay Microsoft for a LIVE subscription to use services I can otherwise access for free, or pay someone else for. Like Netflix. You can get all these "services" through a DVD or Blu-Ray player at no extra cost, but Microsoft slaps a financial gate on it.
Funny enough, the last game I played online on the 360 (besides the ME3:Multiplayer demo) was Modern Warfare 3. After it's online enjoyment died down for me, I began to stick around to playing more games on the PC (like Minecraft). Then I decided to try some of the play-for-free games (LoL, Tribes:Ascend, Airmech, KaG, etc.) and now I have so many PC games that I rarely use my 360 anymore (other than Skyrim). I always thought I would be playing more games on my 360 over time since my computer's graphical power is average at best. But a lot of those P4F games run very good on my PC. =DThe7Sins said:Just 1 more reason people should give up consoles and join the PC master race.
