I don't really know what else they can put up.. But.. My guess is, Natal will be the key.. When Natal comes out, the dashboard is probably going to get another upgrade, and you can video chat without the use of headset or webcam, but simply do everything with natal since it has voice recognition and is basically also a camera. To use those features you would need to be Gold, and I think they will make online gaming for Silver users free.. But they won't get party chat etc.
I think all the facebook stuff seems useless now, but Microsoft is simply adding more features for when they make online multi-player gaming available for Silver users, there will still be enough people that want to pay for Gold. And since PSN is basically copying everything Xbox Live does, Microsoft has no choice but to throw Natal in the mix and make it do something for Gold that PSN could never do.. I wish them luck..
