What's the problem exactly?

In Response To: This is why disgust over ads matters (Cody Miller)

The Ads on the dashboard are VERY easily avoidable. Those with sounds only activate said sounds when the user hovers over that ad.

There's really only one Ad for every other section (games, music.video, etc). NONE of the ads play during a game. Not even demos, unlike on PC, phones, etc.

Many of the Ads provide content like themes and avatar items. Granted they tend to be plastered with their logo/name but some of the items you don't get elsewhere. Like Verizon's surf board or the phone prop. I missed out on the free Wolverine claws from a Ad because I was at a friend's house when it was available. :(

The other "Ads" ore there simply to inform us of whats available in that section. I would have missed out on the free games and movie rentals if not for those "Ads".

As for the interface, I like it. It took a few days to relearn where everything was, but after that I had no issues with it. It's better then the Blades and NXE in my view. Tough I do miss the Themes that seem pointless now.

As for the updates being required to play games....DUH It's a software update. It's updating more then just the UI. Otherwise it wouldn't be required.
