So I'm sorry Huya but I think you're gonna be hearing a lot about PS3 MMOs and the advantage of free online in the not so distant future. It's also the reason theres no BBC I Player on the UK xbox 360 as the BBC offered M$ the service but M$ only wanted to give it to gold subscribers. BBC turned round and told them to stuff it because the British pay a license fee for BBC programs and M$ shouldn't be able to charge people to recieve their services.

It was more than that, BBC legally can't offer the iPlayer on a subscription only service.
That's Microsoft's problem with Gold, holding up stuff like Netflix or Facebook or whatever hostage. I'm not sure how, but only Japanese MMOs seem to be getting around it too (FFXI, PSU, MHFO... and soon FFXIV).

They get around it by not using Xbox Live at all. FFXI forces you to install something called PlayOnline, which it uses to connect to the other platforms. You may notice it's one of the very few 360 games not to have Achievements, and that is the reason.
Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
