He was joking Kowenicki, no need to be an ass
I've nothing to chill out about, He was obviously joking hens the wink at the end, i did not see a wink on the end of your comment ;)
There's an awful lot of agg going down in this thread.
On topic: I don't think the BBC would even be allowed to restrict iPlayer to a subscription based service. It would be the same as the BBC making its channels subscription based on digital TV - it would go against their charter (I think).

Something will be worked out...UK is M$ strongest foothold in Europe, and they are going to find a way. M$'s goal is to get as many people as possible on Gold, and I can't fault them, because they are responsible for maintianing the cost of upkeep for the service, whereas I can't say what the model is for Wii and PS3.

It will have to be MS who steps down then, because its "illegal" for the BBC to charge for iPlayer

Sony maintains the cost through advertisements, which oddly MS does as well, even if you're a Gold subscriber.
They can upkeep LIVE even without the subscription fee.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

| Avarice28 said: Netflix is another one that I cannot figure out, they should have done the exact same thing seeing as you have to pay for the service whether you use it on live or not (should have been available for both silver and gold alike). BBC is definitely on the consumers side on this one. |
BBC by law have to offer their broadcasting entertainment for free (TV, Radio, Iplayer etc), we pay our yearly TV license to the BBC in return.
