Yeah I’m with you. No ads for me. This is why I hate the internet as it is. Maybe I will go back to the Wii and play with myself…

if they think we’re gonna pay to play and get ad’s they’re using some hard stuff!! i can tell ya now, if i see 1 ad come up on my gold acct, i’m selling! i hardly use the thing as it is. but pulling a stunt like this is just a joke!

@ pip,
NO I can’t imagine watching the superbowl…how can you ask that in the AU comments? :|
As for what you said..well your an idiot. Sorry but any1 is an idiot for saying that they WANT to watch commercials. Yes some are funny (Carlton Draught) but it’s still advertising..

If there’s any Colorbond reps reading this FUCK OFF I DO NOT WANT TO PAINT MY ROOF!! WHICH MORON AT YOUR COMPANY THOUGHT..”GAMERS!!! IT’S OUR NICHE MARKET!”

Cool, I can’t wait for Mickey D’s to start paying for my gold subscription instead of me. I think they are poised to foster a lot of goodwill with thier userbase and potentially make a buck at the same time.

Of course, instead they will just keep charging us and then make a buck from advertisers too, but it’s nice to dream.

can you imagine the superbowl without the ads? It would be very boring with all the waiting that goes on…

if the ads are short enough, or amusing enough, I could very easily watch a commercial rather than watch the matchmaking load screen look for someone to play with…

The old pre-NXE dashboard had ads too. What’s more surprising is that there weren’t these sort of ads at NXE launch.

Pfft, what a beatup. NXE is already full of ads, they’re just talking about using Silverlight for flashier presentation. Shoddy journalism Kotaku.

It’s a bit of a grey area, as in-game advertising isn’t allowed in Australia (eg. BF2142 billboards). I wonder if that will be enough for it to get blocked here.
