It would appear that silver membership is not totally worthless after all.

The article is actually less about xbox live silver and more about ps3 and 360 competeing in challenges online.

I wonder what the final product will be like?

Online gaming with a silver account isn't new but the playing against PS3 owners is interesting.
Shame they only buy exclusives. Would love to play against them :P

I have alot of Multi-Plat games. I prefer to play them on my PS3.

It was tongue-in-cheek :P

That's some pretty awesome news, i hope more developers go this route.

can you blame us?  sony developers are putting out the best games on the ps3...i mean it's not our fault MS doesn't have a decent amount of first party studios forcing you have to resort to 3rd parties to keep yourself entertained.   ;)

Lol.
Yeah Damn me having to look at every game released on a console to choose what to play instead of pidgeon-holing myself into just a handful.

It isnt?  I thought that was the point of Xbox Live Gold.

There have been 1 or 2 games which allowed it. Don't know which I can't remember but they were out there.
Probably just one but that still means you could do it.
