(More) Ads Coming To Xbox 360 Dashboard?


Recommended Posts

ads.jpg

Sean Alexander, director at Microsoft's Advertising Business Group, has suggested that you could soon be seeing advertisements every time you fire up your 360 dashboard. Apparently, Microsoft "plans to bring IAB specifications for rich media technologies, including Silverlight, to Xbox Live within the year". With Silverlight being Microsoft's version of/competitor to Flash, MediaPost say "Silverlight-powered media on Xbox will have the same appearance as ads seen on a Web browser".

Since the goal is for advertising companies to launch the same campaign across multiple platforms - desktop, TV, mobile phone and Surface (Microsoft's touch-screen table) - it sounds a lot like the tech would be used on the 360 to display ads on your dashboard. And not the gaming ads you already see. Regular ads.

This had better only be for Silver users. I'm not paying an annual fee to get stuck with ads.

We've contacted Microsoft for an explanation of how exactly this tech will be used with Xbox Live, and will update if we hear anything.

As the article says, this had better be silver only. If not, perhaps it's going to be free Live for all? Very doubtful, but one can dream... :p

More ads on the dashboard? :blink:

There's no way in hell MS can put regular adds on the dashboard for Gold owners and get away without a massive backlash.

Microsoft Adding Silverlight-Based Rich Media To Xbox Live Ads

Microsoft plans to bring its Silverlight graphical framework to Xbox 360, enabling portability of online advertising campaigns between the console and other Silverlight-supporting platforms.

According to a MediaPost report, Microsoft will open up space for advertising, presumably on the Xbox Live Dashboard, that will be identical to what is available for web ads, and will conform to Interactive Advertising Bureau guidelines.

Silverlight as a technology is similar in intent to, and a competitor of, Adobe Flash. It is used for advertising as well as other purposes, such as browser-based games and video streaming.

The article specifically indicates that "Silverlight-powered media on Xbox will have the same appearance as ads seen on a Web browser."

Video rental service Netflix recently began using Silverlight for web-based streaming, and MediaPost says Microsoft will also use the technology to add more and better-quality video streaming options to Xbox 360.

With the move, Microsoft is aiming to make advertising available across personal computers, consoles, mobile phones, and even devices based on Microsoft Surface, with a minimum of redevelopment necessary between platforms.

On an upbeat note, silverlight is far better than flash...

More ads on the dashboard? :blink:

There's no way in hell MS can put regular adds on the dashboard for Gold owners and get away without one hell of a backlash.

I didn't mean it that way. I mean if they're just stuck in as slides on, say, the spotlight section, I could still care less.

And honestly, I can pretty much guarantee there wouldn't be a backlash. I doubt most of the market would notice unless they actually did something like that picture shows. And even then, people would get over it and get back to playing pretty fast. I know I would.

I love when people freak out over ads. They really aren't that hard to block out of your frame of reference.

That being said, if it turned out like that picture shows (which it's not based on the articles) I would be annoyed.

Take that one yourself.

If they start putting burger king, car and toothpaste ads on your 360 dashboard whilst you're paying a monthly subscription I doubt people are going to be best 'happy'. They get away with the spotlight ads just now as at least it's gaming ads (some relevance), but even then people are requesting for an option their 360's to boot up on the my xbox "blade", not spotlight.

People are complaining about the speeds of the dash as it is, we don't need to be loading advertisements from remote servers on top of it...

Microsoft best clear this up before people go crazy with it :p

I have no issues if this is for free applications, such as music/video streaming or games (think flash games), I can understand why they need to be ad supported, but not my main dash.

See I don't get the whole complaining about booting up in the Spotlight section. It takes all of a half second to go up one to the My Xbox part. I rarely ever even notice what's going on in the spotlight section because it's never showing for more than a second when I load things up.

Also, I don't think Microsoft allows loading to XBL from remote servers, so that's a nonissue. I'm sure they're taking this quite seriously and it's not going to be nearly as bad as you're making it out to be. Nothing MS does (with the 360) really ever is.

It won't be anything like that picture because

1: it's ugly and not integrated at all

2: there's no way to navigate to them.

You don't need to navigate to them... an advert for mcdonalds doesn't need a site behind it, You don't interact with bill boards... or magazine ads...

Let me put it this way, the 360 belongs to you, you paid for it outright, there is no contract or part ownership. MS have their ads in the marketplace/spotlight and that's fine, that's their content you're accessing. In NXE you have the My Xbox tab and the friends tab, those belong to you, everything else MS own. On XMB you just have one big tab, same as on your PC desktop running Windows. In both of these environments your content is the central focus, because both pieces of hardware are yours. You paid for them, you use them, they're yours. It's your games, videos, music, contacts, etc that you see.

Once you visit the Playstation Store, you're accessing Sony's content, you see promos/ads for games/apps. Once you load internet explorer on your PC, you're accessing other people's content, you see ads.

There does not need to be ads scattered around your private space.

That's why it's okay for the spotlight, but IMO not any of your private spaces that consist of your content, not someone else's.

Do I want McDonalds putting up posters in my house or on my land? Nope. What about across the street from me in view from my house window? Gotta let them do it, I don't own that space.

Edited by Audioboxer

All the ads are relevant on the NXE, all the content is either content you can buy or gaming related (i.e IGN Strategize videos).

It doesn't sound to me like they are going to add more ads, but just change the tech used to deliver them.

No where does it say they are increasing the number of ads, all it says is there will be ads that aren't strictly gaming related. Who knows what they have planned. It could be anything like Sky, Last.fm, Facebook or Twitter ads. Those are all going to become a big part of the NXE in the next few months.

MS aren't stupid, they aren't going to flood users with McDonalds, Coke or toothpaste ads. If they did they know it would backlash.

Kings of software remember, have faith ;)

Thing is, you're assuming they're going to put ads in your space (My Xbox/Friends) and you have no evidence of that, and quite frankly, that's probably not going to happen, so your point is completely moot. That's what I was getting at when I said Microsoft is taking this seriously. They don't generally mess these things up when it comes to the 360. Not to mention, like DM said, we don't even know if they're putting more ads on the dash at all. You're overblowing the situation.

I hate being right... ;)

I?ve seen quite a bit of discussion today about how we?re bringing Silverlight ads to LIVE in the future.

I need to let you know that you don?t need to worry about a huge influx of ads across the dashboard. One of our core principles is to enhance, not interfere with the gaming experience, and we work directly with our partners to only deliver experiences that are relevant to the LIVE community. Silverlight will help make those ads a more organic part of the dashboard, like we?ve done with some of the NXE slots in the past. No one on the team wants to turn the dashboard into something that looks like like Shibuya Crossing. That?s just not good for anyone.

Yay for PS3. No ads in XMB :D Although for 360 owners sake I hope they don't pollute the interface too much. At the same time a free ad based Live service might be nice.

There's no ads in the guide either, which is the equivalent. The dashboard is practically all live stuff, and you never have to actually use the dashboard.

you can can start up right into a game, you can use the guide for anything, even grabbing addons for the game you're playing. and to shut of the console or play background music. You never actually HAVE to use the dashboard on the 360. Wich is the way it should be. After all why should you need to use an operating system on a gaming machine.

in Any case, if you don't want to see ads, that's easy enough. just use the guide. Not the dashboard which is just a XBLM portal anyway.

Ok, and how are more ads supposed to "enhance" my gaming experience?!?!? :blink:

There is NO mention of "more ads" anywhere in these articles.

Major Nelson has already confirmed that they are switching to SilverLight and they will still be gaming related.

One of our core principles is to enhance, not interfere with the gaming experience, and we work directly with our partners to only deliver experiences that are relevant to the LIVE community. Silverlight will help make those ads a more organic part of the dashboard, like we’ve done with some of the NXE slots in the past

Still confirms the ads are coming even if they replace the spotlight. They better be tucked away on a tab like the spotlight, or on the spotlight itself... Saying they want to make them more organic suggests it's not a simple replacement of the spotlight ads for ones that move or are animated like what silverlight could do.

Doesn't say it's gaming ads only, says it's ads relevant to the LIVE community. Could be for anything related to Xbox, adverts for movies/music/peripherals. Hence "work directly with our partners".

And for stifler saying no one would backlash, look at the comments on Major Nelsons blog...

If they do put more ads in for Xbox Live Gold members, they better cut the price down. ?30 a year would suit me; hell, even ?20!:p:p Then the ultimate dream, free Xbox Live Gold, which could actually happen, as there's over 20 million Xbox Live members. So one ad reaching 20+ million people, that would mean a lot of advertising money!

?0 a year and third place..yay:DD

Wait...:ermm::

Third place affects my viewing of XMB/the operating of the console in my house? I don't think so.

His comment is asking for bait off Xbox owners, it's a one liner about Sony in the MS section. However I have seen some absolutely ridiculous defending of advertisements over the past day now as if they somehow improve the service of Live (people comparing XBL to TV? what?). They don't improve anything, Live is as good a service as it is based off the software code, not advertisements. The spotlight has some genuine use as it does advertise new gaming content, but if it's sole reason of being there was just to "enhance" the experience you'd of thought MS would let people view it at their own will, not make it the main start-up to your console. Wii/PS3/PC as I pointed out above all bootup to your personal content first, as that's what they deem as most important to your experience,your> content on they deviceyou> own, not someone else's content.

What does MS do with the money they coin off of subscribers? I thought that was for the running costs of Live... At least that's the arguments everyone used to make back in the day with the comment of "who pays for the bandwidth you're using on your 360?" when anyone as much as mentioned the Wii or PS3 or a PC being free to play online. That's what ticks off people most, most people's perceptions are Live costs are paid to support the mainframe/operating system MS are running as the backbone of the service, which people happily pay for the quality of service, yet the 360 out of all the platforms is the only one that has advertising as well through the main operating system (dashboard). Advertising only enters the frame on your PC/Wii and PS3 once you leave your space/main operating system and access someone else's content (usually through an application).

So one ad reaching 20+ million people, that would mean a lot of advertising money!

A free ad supported version of Live with ads would be aweso(Y)(Y)

Ironic after I bashed ads? Maybe sounds it, but it's all about paying for a subscriptiand/b> receiving ads. The idea of a subscription is usually to get something ad free (along with other extras) as you're paying guaranteed money to the provider, which means they aren't relying on you seeing their ads or clicking on them.

Yes I know what Bhav was doing AB, been reading his comments for many years now and his tune never changes. He was the Playstation daddy long before you were on the scene :p

Like I've been saying, what and see what "partners" they are, but you can bet it won't be McDonalds and the like. Microsoft must have one of the longest lists for partners out there, but they aren't stupid and they won't flood gamers with ads that aren't relevant. Hell, they've already told us they're not going to flood us full stop. My opinion is we'll not see any new areas of the NXE used for ads, but instead it'll just be the same location with different companies. We'll need to wait and see.

I'm still going to pay for XBL because it offers a superior over the rest, and until that changes (if that changes) then I'll continue paying for it.

The money we pay for XBL goes towards more than bandwidth costs, that's always been the case, not sure who you are referring to in your last argument. The money goes towards the special deals like Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm, Sky etc etc. All the exclusive DLC they secure like GTA4 and FO3. It's not like Apple where shareholders is just sitting around in a vault while Steve Jobs jumps off a diving board swimming in it.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each.
