We don't care how poor sony only gamers are.

percuvius2

>implying that I don't own an Xbox 360.

Here's my Gamer Tag.

..if your having a problem with being able to tell what the last game and or disc you put in the system then the size of the game icon is the least of your worries.WilliamRLBaker

Maybe I don't want "HALO FOUR IS RELEASING IN 26 DAYS LOLOLOLOLOL MC DONALDS AXE HAIR SPRAY PROMETHUS" all in my face everytime I want to start up my Xbox.

There's a reason why I installed Adblocker on my Firefox.

Its.. near the centre of the screen, shows an image or text of the game, and is the very first button that is selected. Nit... picking... EXTREME.MBirdy88

Just read the above, I freakin' just hate being Advertised on things I don't want. Sony keeps their Advertisments in a small little Feed on the Coner, however they have recently been starting up ON Advertisments on their screen too. But man I just don't want freakin' Advertisments cluddering my Gamesystems dang it.

I don't currently own a 360, so I'm probably missing something, but it looks the same to me as it has for awhile now on my friend's 360. What's the big change? :? Besides, the worst things about Win 8 (IMO) are the removal of the start button and the Windows Store... And neither apply to the 360.

Monetization at no cost the consumer brings more services, higher quality investment, more R&D to the platform and is one the reasons Xbox LIVE, well and the Windows 8 eco-system is going to work so well. Its a picture, again why the hell does it matter!? I gaurentee at some point you will find something of interest from it.

what else do i want to be looking at? i want know what new demo just released or which new movies are available. if they aren't relative to xbox, i could understand the complaints, but i really dont get all the moaning about xbox advertising new releases / keeping me updated at a glance.

Buh Buh it breaks the immersion of my console :roll: (lol wut, its not like they are ingame.)

I pay for XBL Gold, yet that's not enough money, they must pollute me with ads that are right in my face, not sitting innocently in a corner I have to navigate around them to get places. You're right it's a meaningless thing that doesn't affect me what so ever and in fact it's a benefit because I like to buy nice things and now I get to see them all the time! :roll:

The ads make Xbox a bigger service, that is a fact. crying about an ad on an OS that doesn't effect you negativly in any rational way. "Navigate around it" you mean press across twice. amazing I didnt know the size of the button effected the amount of effort. :roll:

sounds like you dont want the dashboard at all, if thats the case, just set your xbox to boot the game on start up. problem solved.

so you pay for xbox live gold, but you aren't interested to know if a new map pack for your favourite game just released, or that a movie you were thinking of watching at some point is now available? jesus.

Yeah you're right I can't even see the ads, MS are amazing guys they let us see the latest releases and when I'm online and get a pop up its not intrusive, it's just those lovely people telling me that a new product is available, how nice of them I should donate money to them.

Yeah it's a great workout thanks MS maybe they can add even more ads and then we can all rejoice because MS put it all straight back into services on XBL, oh wait no they do t they're capitalists and don't care about giving back, only taking and taking and doing the very least possible work to maintain their profits.

The 360's user interface is just awful. I wish Microsoft would just bring back the Blades and make it HD.

Also, why can't the 360 render the user interface in HD?

The ads are just a little square in the corner. They don't interfere with anything. People acting like they are a problem don't have a 360.

no way, the blades interface is still there if you press the guide button, no way in hell i want to go back to that. this new one is much better and the search function is absolutely essential.

Liking an awful user interface. Wow.

So because you pay for gold, you think MS shouldn't increase they business and partners and services? what kind of logic is that? they NEVER advertised gold as a privilaged "ad blocker".

Meh. I'm fine with that. I've been using Windows 8 Pro on my laptop for a week or so now and it's grown on me. I'm not like some people around here who are absolutely terrified of change.

My PSN store still hasn't updated for some reason. The pictures I've seen of the update does look like the dashboard update from like 3 updates ago..it even has the offset cascading tiles. Of course they face the opposite way..so it's totally different...lol.

lol, at more ps3 games being sub HD than the 360. but its ok cause the user interface is HD. doughnut.

The 360 not having enough juice under the bonnet to display the user interface in HD is much more embarrassing. :lol:
