It's been noted that an Xbox Gold subscription (like the one through Amazon) will not encompass everything that the $15/mo. subscription does.  So when the 2-year period ends, many, if not most, of the subscribers will want their service to continue with the same offerings as before.  Most people don't realize or care that their contract period ends and continue doing what they've been comfortable doing for the past number of years.  Monetarily things can only work out heavily in Microsoft's favor, and in no way are good for the general consumer.

yes but if you get more for 15 than you get for a normal gold subscription, the 15 aren't a scam. you pay more to get more. i still don't see the problem. if YOU wish to pay 12 month longer 15 per month for xbox live + netflix or whatever, where is the problem, if you would have to pay the same with the purchase over amazon?
