I get this, but really it's ads for stuff on the service already, aside from the odd ass State Farm or Summer Movie X in the bottom corner.

Well, in those cases, I think it's more of an issue of moderation. If I see a grid with, say, 10 boxes and 8 of them are ads (including the most prominent ones), it's just annoying.

I'm not a fan of how everything must be double confirmed now. Like with Netflix, you click on the icon to watch it, and that used to just load the program. Perfect, that's what was intended. Now, it loads a second page where you can Play Now (lets play the Netflix app!), rate it, or something else. If I go to this after exiting a game (disc or arcade), it will just sit there and pretend it's loading the Play Now screen, but will never show up. I'll have to restart the system after a minute and then wait and wait while it loads all the options again. Youtube is similar. Game Marketplace is buried in several layers of menus, and has lots of extra menus and sections to make finding that one thing you want a little harder. It's all just mucked up, slowed down, and cumbersome.

Or you could just hit X instead of A.

If you go to "My Apps" then NetFlix etc will load right away... so while it is still an extra menu and doesn't really help you, there is an option. In all honesty I use my PS3 now for NetFlix and Hulu since their apps are so much better than the Kinect crap that MS has now. I only use my Xbox for HBO Go since it isn't on PS3.
