@Dany: My main issue with the adds is that the first panel exists out of this:
1 small right panel for the game in my Xbox
1 small right panel for quickplay
1 HUGE middle pannel with commercials
2 small left panels with commercials.
Yes it's for marketplace stuff, but isn't the main function of the Xbox to do stuff you want like: play games, watch movies, etc.? So shouldn't the core functionality be in the huge middle pannel? There are more panels dedicated to commercials and the commercial panels are bigger (1) and more centralised for your field of vision then what you actually want to do.
This has clearly been done explcitly to sell you stuff, but is exceptionally user unfriendly and just arrogant of Microsoft. And yeah, that does kinda piss me off. And I seriously had high hopes for this update. A commercial section on the side no problem at all. But more commercials and bigger and more in your face then the actuall functionallity?
Imagine Giantbomb's pages being covered 80% in big advertisments and banners and somewhere small on the side you can find the story or movie you actually want to read or watch? Wouldn't make you happy and prob. switch to another website for your gaming news. Even if the content was good. Simple because the good content is being overshadowed by a massive ammount of commercials. Even if those would all be gaming commercials. And Giantbomb is at least free for normal use, an Xbox you at least need to have bought.
