Im BHR-3 well known on here as a PS3 fan ive been pondering a few things about the 360 and it's online service

1 What are these silver and gold cards how long do they last 

Depending on how much time you buy 3 months - 12 months. Silver is free

2 Is there more services besides gold and silver like platinum

No

3 What can u access with the gold that u can't access with the silver

online gameplay + you get content (demos) earlier + Netflix (just US)

4 Can u buy a silver subscription or where can you get one

it is free, just log in

5 Can you access demos and firmware updates if ur subscription expires for either gold and silver

yes.

6 Can u buy stuff like xbl games from the market place if your subscription expires

yes

7 What can u access wen ur subscription expires

everything, except gameplay and netflix

8 What day/time do the new demos come in every week

Just talking about Germany: unregular. But wednesday is the day for XBL Arcade. Demos are not fix. There is a HAWX and Ninja Blade Demo this week. Halo Wars last week and Resident Evil the week before.

9 What day/time does the netflix/movie section get updated  every week

Don't know, I am German

10 Can you make more than one account under 1 subscription or do you have to buy another gold card

No. But some games support Splitscreen-online. That means you and your mate on one TV against the world. On one account. Endless fun with Halo3. But you can create multiple Accounts and make them gold with free gold-cards. So if you buy Halo3 / Fable2 / Gears (all the big multiplayer games actually) you get a free gold card for 2 days.

11 When you bought ur 360 did it come with a Ethernet cable if it did how long was it

 don't think so.

For the ps3 the store gets updated on thursdays where i live it's usually 8:30pm it used to be 4:30pm though and sometimes we might get stuff on other days like the RE5 demo was on a monday

As u might know PSN is Free and u could create multiple accounts in diffrent regions too i heard though that 12 is the max the system can make then u need to buy another system b/c u can't delete what's in the systems memory

My 60g ps3 came with a Ethernet cord i think it was 3-6 feet long i don't think the new sku's come with one for cost reasons
