Oh and just to double check what I thought I read, do you really have to be a gold subscriber to access Netflix? If that's true... man... what a hack -_-;;;

 

Why would you say that? It's not like you're paying for Live or Netflix twice, you're paying for two completely different services. You get all the benefits of Live and all the benefits of Netflixs and they just happen to work together as an added bonus.

Thinking paying for both is a ripoff is like saying it sucks you have to pay for your WoW subscription and your internet.

 

Well, yes and no because the situation doesn't apply the same with everyone. If you already have a Gold account, great because it makes it that much easier to try out Netxflix via XBL. But what if you only have a Silver account? So for some of those with the Silver account will feel put off to pay for a Gold subscription AND THEN subscribe to Netflix. Just like how some who do not care for MMORPG's because of the monthly fees such as I, having other preferable options for gaming.

Netflix has a free trial and there are about a bajillion way to get a free 2 weeks XBL gold.

And, really, it sounds like you're just complaining for complaining sakes.

Well what if I don't want to worry about cancelling my Netflix subscription after two weeks and I'm forced to pay? What if I don't want to buy one of the games that gives me a free XBL trial? What if my connection isn't fast enough?

Try hard enough and you (the general you, not you in particular) can nitpick and complain about anything. At some point you just have to accept that you're going to have to take some sort of risk and deal with it.

That's life.

No matter how you try to spin it and no matter if you're a fanboy or just a normal user, you cannot deny that the Netflix + Live combo is an amazing thing and great for anyone that wants to take the plunge. Don't want to try Live? That's your own problem.

 

As a mod, you now sound like a troll. I respectfully say this because Chrono did make a legit point. Now, maybe he was generalizing too much, but I did say "some of those with the Silver account" which was NOT referring to all those who had a Silver account. And I NEVER said nor implied that Netflix + Live wasn't an amazing thing. In fact I said in an earlier post that "There are different ways in obtaining a movie via digital distribution giving consumers a choice." So how am I spinning anything or not willlng to try something? And just because a person is not willing to try doesn't mean it's denial because it could just be a sign of priorities/preference. I can't see how I'm complaining, and in my heart of hearts I'm having a discussion. And please be careful because I find that trolls tend to say things like "Don't want to try Live? That's your own problem" because it imples that it's inclusive to all as if all those who don't are making a mistake, disrespecful - not objective. Look, I don't know what I said for you to come off at me as such, and I do feel that my example and preference of not paying the monthly fee for a MMORPG's is legit just as someone not willing to pay for a Gold subscription for any reason whether I agree/understand or not.
