    Advertising!!!

    Am really getting fed up of with all the advertising on the xbox live dashboard. I pay a premium to use the xbox live 'features' so dont expect to be bombarded by adverts every time I log in. My young (11 year old) daughter sometimes uses it on ocassion
    and its rather inappropriate for her to see adverts for alcohol/half naked women (lynx adverts). I hear its not possible to dssable these ads which i find ridiculous in all honesty.



    Thanks.

    Adverts on Xbox One home page

    Last night, I noticed an advert for Vodaphone on the home page, next to my list of recently played games. I have never seen adverts on here before and find it quite disturbing. I am really concerned that this maybe the start of a new source of revenue
    for MS at the expense of users enjoyment. I do not want to turn my console on and be bombarded with adverts!!! They make enough out of us without having to subject us to meaningless adverts and take up space that could be used for more useful things.Please
    do not put adverts on the XBox One, if I want to see adverts I'll watch the TV and forget about the XBox!

  5. There was some scientific survey done awhile back that came to the conclusion that the average age of Xbox owners/users was mid 20`s to mid 30`s.

    And remember that advertisers have to pay to have their adverts shown just like on commercial TV, where you get plenty of alcohol adverts and there are no parental settings or child accounts.

  6. I always thought that MS marketed the Xbox to adult gamers and considering that alcohol ad's run 24 hours a day on T.V and radio, they definitely should not remove the ads from Xbox live. No need to censor live for the sake of the kids that are playing
    Adult games.

    Parental settings + Child Accounts = A better Xbox Live........Now just give me an Adult Communication channel and the ability to block kid accounts. I demand that the person cursing me out have an adult voice.

    As far as I remember you have you Date of Birth set to your XBL account, so the adverts will appear if your over the legal drinking age in your country. So I don't see a problem with it at all.

  9. Yeah if any kids are playing on their child accounts, they wont be seeing these ads. Adults on the other hand will see said ads and I honestly don't see a problem with it. Especially with beer ads all over TV these days.

    Kids or adults, does it really matter? Does this system feel the need to push out alcohol adverts, so their customers would feel the need to consume even more alcohol?

    I had a bit of skepticism back in my mind when Microsoft decided to push their direction into hardware, but alcohol? alcohol adverts on xbox dashboard? ;)

  11. I gave up drinking about 5 years ago, not for one second does a beer advert bother me on the dashboard.

    I can`t imagine anyone so weak of mind that an advert on the dashboard causes them to run out and buy beer.

    Some folkes use drinking as an excuse.......

    How did informing a user about console features to block unwanted content turn into this nonsense???

    Indeed the console is marketed for adults..... Everyone can play but, someone has to buy it....
