This is how Live should be:
Silver members Free Gold Members paid subscribers
Online Mutiplayer Online multiplayer
......... Chat
......... Cross Chat
......... Text msg
......... party invite
......... tweeter
......... Last Fm
......... Netflix
All I say is leave online mp for free for Silver members , And if you want to enjoy the whole experience you pay the fee..
If the extra features enhances the experience to play online for $50 a year, great for those who enjoy it. But for those looking just to pick up and play online without any of those features should be free for them, .
The best thing is to have options and there's non, you have no choise but to pay to play online on the Xbox.
A good option would be play online free without the added features that gold offers or pay a fee if you want to play online and enjoy the whole experience that gold offers..
Playing multiplayer online should not be a priviledge, it should be a standard feature for starters (Silver) but if you want the added luxury you have to upgrade to gold..
I have no complaints with Live at all its great but at least thats how it should've been.
