The only reason I mind the ad is because of the sound. I could ignore the ad much better if I did not have to hear the music that plays during it.

I'm all for SL making money, but having an ad that makes noise is very distracting. I also do not like that no real announcement was made about it (unless I missed it). It seems like the ad was just sneaked in the game.

Anyway, I hope they remove the sound and perhaps release either some free DLC in the future (maybe a new ship or track) or put this money towards making more feature-heavy paid DLC.
