In those green circles, there are events and stuff in there, but in my Live Blade, it has either a blank space or a link to the Marketplace homepage. How do you get it?

What I'm thinking is that you when you registered on xbox live that you put your age under 18 and that's why you're not getting those ads on xbox live.

Ain't that the truth. People always complain about ads when watching TV or listening to the radio, yet they go absolutely crazy when they DON'T have ads on their 360. Go figure...

 they can be helpful though, if you are the sort who buys extras like map packs but doesnt keep up on the release dates (dont know anyone of that sort though)

I get these adds, and I see why people are complaining they don't get them. A turn of events in a world that hates ads. I would want them because like a couple people said already, its news and shows you whats out and whats new. The first time you make your account and you set your age under 18 the ads will never show even as you age. ( i know cuz my brother is now 19 and he set the account up when he was 17) _> (just turning 18) He still does not get these ads, call up Microsoft to see how this can be fixed.

100% accurate.  You can't change it to get the ads, either, even if you open everything up on the parental controls.

I thought it was because they showed up only on HD televisions (due to that they'd pry look like crap on standard TVs)...guess I was wrong.

It's either older live accounts or older xbox 360's don't have them.

I know thats not the case because I got my 360 for my Christmas/Birthday present (only 3 days apart), and I also got Live that same day. So I know thats not it

 But really, if I call Xbox Support could they possibly put them on there?
