You'll have to forgive me, I've been busy cleaning vomit off of my desk for the last five minutes.

Ads are coming to Xbox LIVE, courtesy of that Silverlight software.

As MediaPost has it, Sean Alexander, Director of Microsoft's Advertising Business Group, said that "Silverlight-powered media on Xbox will have the same appearance as ads seen on a web browser..."

So users that pay for the service will still be treated to ads on a daily basis. Your thoughts?

Oh, on the plus side, according to the article, "..movie trailers are available in a high-definition (HD) format, but Silverlight will deliver 1080p HD and 5.1 surround sound without discs directly into the Xbox..." Nice.
