XBL has had a fee since Day one...And It's a huge Success

 

That is ok but it is completely irrelevant to what we are talking about. 

You keep ignoring my point here. The point is that when it comes to subscription based games, services, etc. MS originally said that you are exempt from needing to pay for Gold to enjoy that service because you already pay a subscription for said game/service outside of XBox Live. This is why Silver members can play online WITHOUT needing to pay for Gold.

In this case however it is different. You are paying for Gold + Netflix. Netflix is the one time where I see the rules being changed. 

I am just pointing out something I noticed.

 

Like I said though, if you already had both to begin with this service is excellent and shouldn't bother you. However then you have me, someone who does not play much online to the point where I would never pay for LIVE, but if I want to enjoy my service that I already pay for I must also pay for something I do not need.

This would be like charging those FFXI players to buy Gold, even though those players do not need it.

 

Also just to add, you mentioned something about the Gold subscription covering bandwidth. Like I said, from what I know the new BD players with Netflix instant view functionality do not require any extra fees other than the initial Netflix subscription. Why would they not require it yet Microsoft does? The badwidth is covered in my $8.95/month subscription.
