Yeah; that might change too.

I have an Xbox, but I don't have Xbox Live... so I don't really care for this TV ad thing. But having said that, if I did want to go live, M$ certainly are not tempting me into it.
I may just pick up a WiiU for NG gamimg, despite it's crappy name and unclear IP.

Until it does (and if it does) though,it appears that MS is far greedier than Sony even if they are in a better economical state.

Not necessarily; this is a "spread the wealth" kind of thing. MS benefits, of course, but so do their partners. MS would probably say that these arrangements eventually broaden the scope of entertainment available to those who are on xbox live. They are probably right about that. That's if people care, though... and are willing to put up with the ads for it.

Don't get me wrong; personally I do NOT care for this. I don't want my 360 to be an "entertainment hub". I just want it to be a game console. I don't want my PS3 to be an "entertainment hub" either but they are going down the same road... that's why I assume they will do these same things eventually. Even Nintendo has made some ominous statements... but they are clearly not anywhere close to the other 2 in terms of how they view their hardware.

I try to ignore it all anyway, and just play my games. That way I only have to skip commercials on my DVR box!

If we really want to get all fanboy here I can just go ahead and say how crappy all of the services on PS3 are in general when compared.

You have to go through 30 seconds of loading on there anyway. to that.

In all seriousness, Sony isn't pure of screwing over their customers (yes, paying customers). So please stop acting like they don't.

Optional free, you can also choice to pay money and get some (pretty good) games for free more then once a year.

Just quickly, Nintendo is having trouble getting a license on the name: Wii U, most like on the U part. So chances are the system might get a name change in a month
