Microsoft Comments On 360 Dash Advertisements

@TotalF***ingDouchebag: More proof of what I said in another thread,

"Microsoft will have no problem getting away with this because they know fanboys and bots will just accept, and even defend this practice, as seen in this thread, as well as with paying for online, RRoD, E74, and the disc scratching issues."

@joshfigueroa:

pay your 50 bucks a year and shut the fuck up. Plus you get hamburgar ads yay.

@K1NG EV1L:

Gears Of War 2 it lags and Xbox live have been down many times. So its far from being perfect.

Piracy is "enhancing", not interfering with Microsoft's bottom line.

Sullyville

And i though paying for a service would make your network free from Ads.

I guess not. PS3 is free and not have ads on the dashboard weird isn't it? haha.

MANUFACTURED OUTRAGE! MANUFACTURED OUTRAGE! MANUFACTURED OUTRAGE! MANUFACTURED OUTRAGE! MANUFACTURED OUTRAGE! MANUFACTURED OUTRAGE!

@Kagey_K: @FP_slomo788: Gold star or no I finally feel the need to say this. PS fanbot troll is troll and enough is enough.

QFMFT.

And gold stars don't mean shit.

@JGab: 50 bucs, multiplied by 6 million users = 300 million annually. More than enough to buy and maintain online servers.

@Cimmerian76: Because Billy didn't need to prove himself to the world. He got up in the world's face and screamed "HI, BILLY MAYS HERE!" and we knew that Billy Mays was here and that he had something to say.

the only explanation I'll accept is that the $50 is going towards Project Revive Billy Mays.

Don't Make Me Ang Lee. You wouldn't like me when I'm Ang Lee.

Calm down everyone! It's a feature! You want this!

iFOREIGNi

In the entire history of the world there has never been (and there never will be, even far into the distant future) any ad that has ever "enhanced" anything.

Not even those Enzyte ones.

@Shinta:

I think its already been invented. Sell your xbox and buy a competitors console instead. Which is what I intend to do. I always wanted to play Kill Zone 2 anyway.

Want to know what will enhance my gaming experience? Access to f***ing multiplayer, like with PS3 / PC.

@dj_fantastica: At least I'm not the only one who thinks that advertisers (and marketers to a lesser degree) are the lowest form of shit on the planet.

I don't need someone telling me about products I don't want. How about giving me the option to not have ads, since I know that it's not going to make my experience any better.

There is a reason I download all of my TV shows now, or buy seasons, or listen to XM Radio.

Your $50 is going to feed starving children in Redmond, Washington to hungry zombies, apparently. If they force ads on to my account, which I PAY FOR, then I will just go Silver, and Live can go to hell for all I care. I am PAYING for my service. I don't need ads. Fill the Silvers up with ads.

@n00b_pwner: Am I the only one that's bothered by the fact that Billy Mays wasn't living like the Rock Star he was? Why does a great man like Billy die quietly of a heart attack, while Shamwow Vince is getting in fist fights with hookers, doing drugs, and in general partying like a madman?

Fucking hell, I hope that's concept/a mockup and not what my dashboard is going to look like a few months down the line.

And yeah, do want to know where my cash is going. I pay enough to buy a brand new game every year for this. I don't expect to see it littered with ads.

@Shinta: There already is audio for the ads. It only shows up when you have the ad front and center, though.

Rectangle

This is precisely the reason I haven't purchased a 360 yet. My "free to play online" Wii and PS3 sit happily in my entertainment center, while I use my PC for any serious shooter gaming (as God intended it).

Having to pay $50 a year to do something you cn get for free elsewhere, and then have advertisements thrown on top of it is insulting to the consumer.

didnt we get enough advertisements on television? cannot escape global corporations no matter where i go.

@Kris: "cough"That picture is fake"cough"

"cough"Pretty damn obvious"cough"

Whoa, had something caught in my throat, sorry bout that.

hasn't anyone noticed that there are already ads?
i had an advert for that new jon wu film or whatever it was.
red mountain or something stupid like that. some crazy ass chinese film.

then i had an advert for another film yesterda, but i forgot what it was.

but if they plan on removing the covert techniques they are using of present then they can bloody well reduce the price of LIVE by about £10 or £20.

marfin

Stop the crying, for God's sake!I pay for cable and I have to see advertisements on tv, what's the difference?

Hector Camacho

@K1NG EV1L: Tell me about it I especially hate PSN when your system stops and then the 3 lights on the ps3 blink and then you have to send it in. I hate it when that happens. :p

Well, I'm cancelling live. I don't pay $50 for nothing. Money is tight, and it's a hell of a lot tighter for us than it is Microsoft. Sony's service is free and as far as I know, has no adds. So, see you in hell, Microsoft.

LucasKane

@the-hypnotoad: As you were making a statement about the ability for paying subscribers to opt out of advertising, I'll be the first in this thread to actually talk about that.

I'm not pleased with the advertising on the dash either. Yeah, I wish I could turn it off. But I've resigned myself to thinking of it like premium television service. I'm paying for digital cable, but there's still commercials. I could pay for premium film channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.) and not have the commercials, but that's just paying for more content.

As I'm a XBL gold subscriber, there's nothing I can say about it other than I'm slightly annoyed. Really, though, neither I nor anyone else that plays Xbox regularly is going to quit playing because of a Coca-Cola logo.

@ye0073:

Too bad the PSN sucks. It's not a standardized service and developers have to choose a middleware to provide players with Online play, this is why there is no fee. Developers puck
up the tab. This is also why HOME was created. To create an application that could act as a meeting place where players can meet to play games and watch movie. The truth is though, it sucks and I say that as both an Xbox 360 owner and PS3 owner. The PSN cannot begin to touch Xbox LIVE for online play.

@Koda89: The instant I see a loan or consolidation or compensation advert, I'm gunna be off Xbox Live so fast.
I cannot stand them.

Daniel Harrison

@deanbmmv:

Nice!

Firelance

Oh man, that huge McDonalds banner up above, the Coke bottle and the ESPN HD ticker do not bode well for a service I pay annually for. Sure Facebook integration is coming along with Last.FM and Twitter (which seems pointless) are coming but do we need Xbox LIVE to become a billboard when we pay for it? Maybe this is part how Microsoft uses that advertising company they bought. I think their name is Massive?

The original Xbox Live Dashboard had TONS of ads, which is one of the most offputing things about the damn system itself, while I do subscribe to xbox live I really hate the system itself. It really feels like you are paying money and recieving little in return.

1. MOST of the multiplayer games are in fact peer to peer and hosted by one of the players in game (leading of course the much maligned 'host advantage' in many of the more twitchy games). So you are not paying for the cost of running servers to play your games, but for the cost of teh xboxlive servers themselves and most FREE Silver users get access to those things that GOLD is paying for.

2. Matchmaking servers are run and hosted typically by the company that created the game so you aren't paying for THAT with your subscription fee.

3. EVERYTHING costs extra, even your gamerpics cost extra on top of your subscription fee. Many other services (Steam for example) allow you to upload your own picture FREE OF CHARGE to use as a gamer pic.

Essentially xbox live offers you the same experience as Steam does, but you have to pay for it. Also unlike steam, if you are not happy with the service you can't try and find another service from someone else, THAT IS THE ONLY OPTION.

Putting ads on the xbox dashboard should only be either for silver users, or they need to lower/remove subscription costs entirely as they will be getting MASSIVE revenue from these companies for granting them an essentially captive audience.

@Kagey_K:
You read his post right?

"The problem is that some people tried it in 2006 and refuse to think or acknowledge that it has evolved since then."
Sounds like you.

Yes, they have trophies now...a new take on the older system of achievements,and one that makes more sense to me.

And yes, I would call PSN ad-free, while XBL users are FORCED to see the adverts on the main menu, we only see them IF we download Home and IF we look at them, when we can just walk straight past.

Oh, and comparing an MMO to MAG? Lulz my dear sir, lulz.

Don't know much about Steam, so I can't comment there, but the notion of saying 'X sucks because Y is better' is stupid as hell.

Final point: Did you just say "Do not pretend PSN and XBL are even simialar because you know they are not" !?
You just spent a whole post comparing the features of both.....duh.

FINAL POINT NOW REALLY I SWEAR : Vidzone is awesome.
Phew.

@okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under): I got everything except the last word...which seems to me to be the most important one.

Are Foxnews and M$ working together now because that was one hell of a spin

@Aaron Te Whaiti: It was obvious sarcasm.

Bialia

I would just like to say again, F*** You Microsoft.

Also, as a silver member, why cant I play my games online like I can on PC and PS3?

I still dont care about the extras, I just want access to the full game that I paid for. Or should I keep trading my MP orientated games in for SP games that I CAN play online with your service?

(the following is directed at you in terms of conversation but not ment in a directly insulting manor. Grain of Salt)

I for sure fucking find the ads persuasive,
all ad's are, whether you realize it or not.
If its in your face for even a second your brain has seen it and store's part of it away.
This function it called Memory. =)

This would be how I know your names avatar is from left 4 dead, even though I have only looked at the achievement list a single time.

Ads are for suckers, and to be pleased as punch for allowing them into your own home, you got to be a sucker too.

Hey now why am I thinking about drinking a ice cold coke. In one of those old glass bottles.
mmmmmmmm advertising.

I get a lot of ads on my TV. TV is free. *Hint hint MS*

@goaliegeek: Ya know? Perhaps 2010 might be sony's year after all...unless they pull off a Microsoft and start advertising Jack in the box. Ad's make me sick.

@Neurogasm: That is shitty lol. My friend and I just got bluetooth headsets to try to play stuff online on PS3 one of these days. We haven't tried it yet as we do most of our gaming on 360. That really sucks.

Shinta

@elevenoverzero: The fact that you even ask that question makes me sick. There is already enough payola on XBL. If they are not making enough money, then maybe somebody doesn't need to be making $170,000 a year with bonuses.

@CoatedTrout:
You dont notice the 11 products in the ads?
Your not very observant then eh?

Even thou its a console used for gaming, ads for other games still bug the fuck outa me.
Are there ads on your pc desktop? On the Wii dashboard?
On the XMB?

(XMB has one that can be turned off)

Hmm... Kotaku has ads like these too, so if our favourite site is fine with ads, why not our favourite console?

I am completely fucking pissed about this. This is honestly enough to make me sell all the xbox shit I own and buy a PS3. Do they have ads on PSN? Doesn't even matter - at least you don't have to fucking pay to see them.

@bobtheduck: I'm done with this horseshit. I'm going MAC and shovelware.

@Kagey_K: Not to mention Phantasy Star Online.

Shinta

Aren't game demos technically "ads"?

I need to let you know that you don't need to worry about a huge influx of demos across the dashboard. One of our core principles is to enhance, not interfere with the gaming experience, and we work directly with our partners to only deliver experiences that are relevant to the LIVE community. Silverlight will help make those demos a more organic part of the dashboard, like we've done with some of the NXE slots in the past. No one on the team wants to turn the dashboard into something that looks like like Shibuya Crossing. That's just not good for anyone.

MistakenIdentity

@Sam_Lowry: EA did make a console. Kind of. It was the 3DO which is the company founded by the same guy that founded EA.

DwarfyP

@dj_fantastica: It enhances TV programs no end :)

@CoatedTrout: Do they somehow make the ads take up no bandwidth?

Otherwise the ads may be part of the reason you are waiting for that something to download.

MistakenIdentity

@MindPrints: When NATAL comes, your 360 can pause commercials for you when you blink, or get up to go to the bathroom, to make sure you don't miss anything. It will recognize that you are getting angry, and so show you the commercial again, since it knows you are upset that the commercial is ending. And each time you turn your Xbox on, it will show you those commercials before letting you sign in, to make up for its previous mistakes.

@[twitter.com]: Wait, what? 1 vs. 100 pits you against thousands? Wouldn't it be "One Hundred" players like the name suggests?

@FP_slomo788:

Gold star or no I finally feel the need to say this.

PS fanbot troll is troll and enough is enough.

Yes PSN has evolved to the point that XBL was in 2004 and they keep trying to continue that as 360 moves forward. (Trophies?) really? The same as achievements?

You try to sit and act like you have no preferance yet when live bashing comes you smack it around and defend everything Sony does until the end.

Yes Sony is free and does everything XBL did in 04 plus a few new things they added since then.

Is it really an alternative.... Can it really do everything XBL can. It`s not even ad free as you stated earlier since home is 90% ads.

Steam is a better alternative and still not ad free.

Give me a break. Mag is the first 256 console player game. FFXI was on consoles (360 included) and I think it had more then 256 players at any given time. 1 vs 100 has 10 times more players then MAG at most times.

I can remember many times sticking to my group of 6 while playing a game on PSN, getting sick of it switching to another game and then going to a 3rd without missing a beat in the conversation.

Fanboy in hiding... That`s what you are. (Clever troll might come up second.) If Natal and your hopes of it come true I hope to see you on this side. But until then feeble attempts are feeble.

Do not pretend PSN and XBL are even simialar because you know they are not. Nice attempt with the respect points though,.

Kagey_K

Maybe this is how they phase out Gold? I'll take ads over shelling out $35+ a year for it. $50 is a price I'll never pay for it, I always wait for the $38 sales that crop up every month or two.

So, is this something that can be touted as "Wii can't do", or is this just kinda mumbled about like Avatars and Home?

@Flankenstein: I think they are upset over having ads on a service they already pay money to use.

@deanbmmv: Well done Yorkshire, I am laughing, oh I am laughing

Way to make a reference to Japan when talking to his almost completely American audience. At least I get it...

@Ace11: You've got problems then my friend... How about turning the tv, computer off for a while and going for a hike in the woods.

But then again, in this media-infested world we live in, some yahoo probably will bring a satellite radio up there.

The fact they seem unnoticeable to you is what worries me the most. That they are so commonplace and widespread you don't even realize they are there.

Let @[www.facebook.com] Hit M$ with a big, "Fuck you."

Allen Tran

As many have said, makes perfect sense for a free service to contain adverts.

I have absolutely no problem with that at all: IE PSN and XBL Silver. Just like many freeware PC programs contain banner ads.

However for a paid service this is fucking ridiculous and reeks of unnecessary revenue raising.

I pay money for this damn service and I don't need any fucking ads slowing down my already fucked up dashboard.

Allen Tran

@Fordio: Yeap just to clarify further Shinta you can't have a voice chat session open on PS3 and then launch a game simultaneously (even if they are the same game as you mentioned).

My friend and I have to use our xbox's as a communications device whilst playing demons souls coop to get around this.

I was actually shocked when I discovered this as I had just bought a bluetooth headset especially for ps3 dashboard chat whilst playing DS.

If the ps3 game does not support its own chat system there is no way to talk to someone on friends list while playing. I really hope Sony changes this in future firmware revisions.

wow, in-console advertising is so "hardcore"

Crash__Man

Ads never enhance ANYTHING. :|

@Shinta:

Yes, that's correct. If you try to launch a game you get kicked out of the chat room. Then get forced to use that games own voice chat system.

@dj_fantastica: I could see this happening on the PSN. It's free, so ads would see some revenue for Sony. Most of the current ads are on HOME, and people complain all the time about that.

But on the dashboard? Wtf? This should only be for Silver account members, and even then those players should have less restrictions on what they can and can't do as compensation for this crap!

I'll be selling my 360 and buying a PS3 when this goes live.

MuppetChrist

@Obey__: We don't need ADs, but they in no way effect the service.

Plus, XBL users pay a subscription fee to play online games with friends. The payments help the upkeep of this service that is dominating the market.

The ADs would be there even if no one paid to play.

@Jennacide: /rant.

@Kamizzle: It's true, you're basically wiping your ass with money. I'm so fucking annoyed with Microsoft already over why they even have Silver membership when all it does is keep your name and gamerscore. You can't access half the fucking marketplace unless it's content you need to pay for anyway. If it's free, silver account is blocked from it. Microsoft's official responce is "it's to encourage users to get gold" no, it's called DICK MOVE and guerilla marketing.

I don't play 360 games online enough to pay for it when my PC plays so many great online games for free. What do I miss out on? Halo and GoW2? Whoopdey shit. Stop punishing people because they refuse to pay $50 a year to host games on thier own fucking connection.

Jennacide

@FP_slomo788: those are features of games. on the contrary i could say that live allows amateur programmers to potentially become professional (lbp is very limited) and 1 vs 100 pits you against thousands of players.

Yes I completely agree. What better way to improve something than by slapping an advertisement on it? Why do you think stock car drivers have all those decals? It makes them go faster.

Seriously though I don't mind ads. So long as they're actually classy pieces of art.

@MindPrints: Anybody have the Penny Arcade comic with the "M$" reference? I think that that comic needs to be whipped out every time someone uses the dollar sign like that.

MS seeing what they can get away with.
Paid peer-to-peer gaming, $150 120GB HDDs, and now advertisements to top it off.
As if enduring a console failure and two 360s scratching up my disks wasn't enough. I won't even mention how I had to pursue MS to refund $105 they took out of my account on a repair order I canceled.

MS/XBL/Xbox is digging their own grave.

oye, microsoft, you're doing it so wrong. why would i spend 50 dollars a year to look at advertisments when wii and ps3 and the PC don't have anything? and are free to play online?

I could understand if i was playing free games, ads would be understandable. but this is just silly, OBVIOUS whoring of your onlines internetages.

i don't cry your pardon, gunslinger!

@ScholarMasterJ: That's about where I was thinking :/

@Sam_Lowry: There's only one ad on that page, assuming that coca cola thing is a gamerpic.

@Mister_CrazyGuy: Don't have.

In the UK, we have little ads for movies (full trailers, which is nice) mixed into the 'inside xbox' bit.

It's lovely to watch them ads if you're waiting for something to download.

@Dead Giveaway: N,n,n,No.. you're wrong colonel Sanders.

@bobtheduck: If they stick (MORE) ads on my Live Gold, you better believe I'm going to let my subscription lapse. I don't play that many online games, but it's nice to have it for the rare occasions I want to jump online with friends. The occasional "not ads" for Doritos, Yaris, Nestea, etc along with the lack return on my $50 investment already have me considering cancellation.

Where's the value? Live seems to already be at least partially ad-supported, yet Sony manages to do all the same things for free and without ads. Give me one more reason to leave and I'm gone - I quite enjoy hanging on to my money, thanks.

@Shinta: yeah pretty much. you can video call.. but I haven't tried that.

@Dead Giveaway: Why do you need ads when you already pay for a yearly subscription?

Obey__

I dumped mine around the time of the NXE. Same reason, they force ads in your face now. So, it's going to get worse?

If MS were truly about the gaming experience then they wouldn't show any ads.

Don't lie you guy.

that is going to absolutely ruin my destroyed beauty theme

@ReynaldoRiv: It's only a pity if you can't figure out a way to be the one charging.

"Welcome to Carl's Jr. Would you like to try our EXTRA BIG ASS TACO? Now with more MOLECULES!"

@FP_slomo788: PSN is the ONLY alternative for Console gamers who want to play online.

Sure the Wii has the ability, but it's too much of a hassle.

But most people just overly prefer using Xbox LIVE over PSN, not because of the features, but because the interface is always stepping it up.

It's pretty clear that Sony didn't focus on Online Gaming as the innovation of this gen, they thought Blu-ray was enough. They were wrong.

i dont know. i dont like it.. the banner, the ticker on the bottom or the stupid coca cola icon near the avatars.

I don't mind the current ads, ads for things I can buy on my XBox just seem like end of aisle displays in grocery stores. I'll be annoyed if they're like computer banners because the XBox doesn't have Ad-block.

@Poklement: You know, to spite this, I want to set my Xbox 360 to have a TWEWY theme.

@Jambi_Bum: I'm glad someone else realizes that we've had ADs on the 360 dashboard since Day 1.

There hasn't been 1 thing that was intrusive.

Majority of the ADs I see have to do with actual game content and there isn't a damn thing wrong with that.

The other ADs for Goods & Services are nothing to complain about and in fact give us free content. Which is nothing to bitch about.

@grandmufti: I have to admit I'm still confused. So you have full, free voice chat with anyone on your buddy list or in voice chat rooms of up to six people .... while doing anything but playing different PS3 games?

Shinta

@Flankenstein: Yup, a bunch of internet peeps getting all upset over nothing.

And they already have streaming video ads on the dashboard.

I've seen about 3 or 4 over the past few months. I actually find them quite nice, gives the dashboard "life".

@Shinta: Yeah you can chat with anyone on your buddie list or have chat rooms with i think 6 or so... not 100% on that. But anyway anything else is ingame chat nothing else.

grandmufti

@Flankenstein: yeah right, it's going to be audio for the ads. totally enhanced. shoot me.

"One of our core principles is to enhance, not interfere with the gaming experience"

When do ads enhance ANY experience?

@geiko: How about while watching tv, doesn't the ads make your show seem better?

No it does not which is why I download my TV shows to avoid the ad breaks.

I also agree that as a paying customer, you shouldn't have to be forced to have ads on your dashboard.

When you have 'pay per view' tv, you don't expect to have a movie with ad breaks in it do you?

@ScholarMasterJ: After reading the entire article through, I lol'd IRL after reading this first comment.

Your 50 dollars a year goes to help pay for all the 360s given out through warranties.

Aidan Dammermann

this is kindof better, these things will be paying ms money to put their adds up. and, in about half a year of ads, i can see a definite discounted membership fee, maybe even a free one

@Jambi_Bum: I agree. Everyone's going batshit, but it's probably just going to be streaming video in the slots instead of flash animation.

@Jambi_Bum: You are aware what making ads "look better" involves yes? If a ad doesn't attract your eye to it then it's pointless. So to make it look better you maybe put it in the bottom space ofthe XMB, or in that large empty space top right. or just as you launch a game. Oooh ad's targeted at individual games, Toyota ad's when you load up Forza, Album ad's for Guitar Hero, Jack Thompson book ad's for GTA, Halo Reach ad's for ODST, etc etc.

If ads get me free online play on my 360, I'm all for it. If I'm forced to pay $50 a year to look at ads, I'll be highly pissed. Of course, if I was MS, I'd try to have my cake and eat it too. I think most folks would.
