Saying that the XBL Gold is an additional fee was childish.....XBL Gold is Only $ 4.17 And it's used to cover Bandwidth....Don't try to make a point if your argument is Flawed....

 

Talk about a case of bad timing. On the eve of the big launch for the New Xbox Experience -- which, remember, marks "a new dawn in home entertainment" -- we've learned that Netflix streaming won't have quite as many films available as we had been hoping. Joystiq learned earlier this evening that a number of films -- including both Ghostbusters and Bad Boys -- are now unavailable to be streamed to the Xbox 360. The common link between the suddenly unavailable flicks is that they are all from Columbia Pictures, which is owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment. The films haven't disappeared from Netflix altogether; they are still available to be played on PCs and on TVs through other devices, making this seem like a petty move on Sony's part to try and take the wind out of Microsoft's sails.

 

 

Ok first off, relax. I said it is extra because I always knew that with XBox Live if a game, etc had it's own subscription you were exempt from needing to purchase Gold in order to enjoy it. When Netflix came it was the first time from what i've known that you had to pay for Gold along with an initial subscription cost in order to use something. 

So you see, it wasn't "childish". I was just going by what I was originally told. If I am told things work one way and then out of the blue something goes against what was originally said and works a different way I am sure as hell going to consider it an "extra fee". If a 360 MMO one day releases and requires you to pay for Gold + the game's subscription fee would I be "childish" for calling it a "fee" as well? No because I will remember how FFXI is free, just like I was originally told things like that would be.

 

As for the Sony thing you keep bringing up. How long have you had Netflix may I ask? If not 2 years then you're more flawed than me because I know what is there, what was there and what will continue to be there whether it be before the Sony issue or after the Sony issue.

Enjoy this too while you're at it.

Those Sony movies are on there. So what is the excuse now for the selection?

So now I ask you. Who's flawed here?

 

XBL has had a fee since Day one...And It's a huge Success....It's not Extra.....XBL Silver Is Extra!

Thank You...I actually had not heard that Netflix finally paid the License issue.....

As to Selection problems..Proly more License issues...
