Re: XBL Gold should be ad-free.

In Response To: Re: XBL Gold should be ad-free. (MacGyver10)

: I would assume there would be someway if you have an original Xbox360 that
: had the blades originally installed, but on any post-NXE released 360 the
: information for the blades probably isn't even there.

I went through so many Xboxes due to the RROD, I don't know even remember if this last one was post-NXE. It's definitely the original model in terms of appearance....

: By the way, I don't know if people remember or not, but while it WAS way less
: than the NXE, the blades UI did still have ads on it.

: - MacGyver10

It's important to distinguish the actual ads from the xbox-catalog ads. In terms of actual ads, you're right, they really haven't grown that much since the Blades, and one little ad that isn't making noise or distracting me isn't so bad to suffer. But the other form, Microsoft's way of giving us news about deals and advertising new games and DLC, has definitely grown. Some people don't mind the later, as they can be informative and useful. I personally just wish they were not so prominent or were a subsection below the Xbox's main function menu, if that makes sense. That's why I miss the Blades or even the update after that. Right now, I'm look at about 10% of the screen to navigate and select what I'm wanting to do, and mostly ignoring the rest of it.

Even that update after Blades, the first NXE (?) was pretty practical and I thought Themes were pretty cool.
