10. Stardoll

impressive.

lets hope they keep the adverts the way they are

only way this will work for m$ though is if they add a web browser.. otherwise how are you supposed to click the advert as its not an advert for something on live.. unless live starts accepting m$ points for viagra or something

It doesn't need to be interactive to be an effective mode of advertising. Look at television ads or even billboards for example. I just hope they keep the ads on xbox live tasteful, and don't paste them everywhere, interfering with the actual content.
