Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is a multi-platform release, but that isn't stopping Xbox from giving it the full first-party treatment. Xbox users booting up their console today were greeted with a large splash screen prompting them to buy it now that the new campaign is out, and some of them aren't too happy about it.

It's got to the point now (recent dashboard update and these full screen ads) where I'm starting to really dislike using the Xbox.

its pretty gross, keep ads off the home screen. Microsoft is just so bad for their shitware, I have a mac at home and use pc at work and its unbearable sometimes. the amount of restarts, ads, messages is nuts, edge is awful, I hear they've patented a system to embed ads in search results for files, its brutal.

It used to be where I did all my gaming, now it is almost exclusively used for plex and kodi

Mine is pretty much just for Microsoft Rewards now.

How do you get enough points for that to be worth it?

Bing website + Bing mobile app + Xbox mobile app + Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox. Takes about 15 minutes a day. Could've been 10 if MS's apps weren't so slow. It's very region dependent – some countries get more earning opportunities than others.

It paid off my Series S in about a year and a half. Any points I earn now are bonus.

..isn't 15 minutes a day for a year and a half like 130 hours? Pretty sure M$ is paying you about $3 per hour, I'd recommend getting a job
