@chiruno99 Why do people get stuck so hard on the FREE STUFF concept? Ignore those items that bother you and just think about the idea of offering different levels of service.

BTW – The Playstation Plus service provides free stuff. Sony has figured something out. This isn’t were I got the idea, but it shows that it’s not a crazy concept.

They tired to do tier level membershiups before a long time ago here there was something before Silver, but they scrapped it and went to Silver and Gold. It’s easier with the wto levels anyway: cheapskates who should fork out for oodies and Customers that get the stuff.

And don’t bring PSN plus into this either.

And as for those people already slamming Kinect before it’s even released, are you for real?

@diablo1967 –
Hey, I’m one of those who would love Kinect in my living room, but there is quite a few things I bought from Microsoft that have become obsolete/worthless/useless and I don’t want the same thing happening again on a $150 piece of merchandise. Its a 3D motion cam with a mic and can control my dashboard whenever I feel lazy but I don’t want it collecting dust if in the future it is ever forgotten.

I like to think ahead and sometimes I can be very impulsive and that ends up biting me in the ass which I don’t want to happen here. So I will listen to what my gut is telling me and its telling me to wait a while to see the outcome of Kinect in the homes then I will JUMP IN along with the others.

@chiruno99 it’s always been Silver and Gold since the launch of Xbox 360. Maybe there were discussions, but when Xbox 360 hit the market this is the way it was.

You don’t have any reasonable argument against my idea except that you think that Silver members are “cheapskates who should fork out for oodies”. Choose a four-letter word and shove it somewhere dark and cold. I would “fork out” if Microsoft gave me a choice that was more suitable for my needs. If I could pay for online multiplayer only, I would. But Microsoft doesn’t offer me that choice. So, you think I’m a cheapskate because I refuse to pay for services I’ll never use. I say I’m an intelligent shopper.

I can, will, and did bring PSN into this because it’s in direct competition with Xbox Live.

I’ll but Fish in your freezer. Sorry but I read through that and I can’t help but laugh.
“Choose a four-letter word and shove it somewhere dark and cold.”
Put it this way, you don’t pay for gold, you don’t get discounts. Miscosoft don’t see you as a loyal customer. That’s the facts.
If you love PSN so much then go on it, I have both and they’re both full of kids and dicks alike.

So.. RidinSlow just put your previous ‘fact’ to bed, so you ignore that and focus on the more humorous side of his post. Then you post that “you don’t pay for gold, you don’t get discounts” which, while generally true, you just happen to post the day after the Sonic 19th anniversary offers were presented to both Gold AND Silver members.

Then you go on to say “If you love PSN so much then go on it” which is awfully similar to immature playground retorts. Then when I thought it couldn’t get better you pull out the punchline “I have both and they’re both full of kids and dicks alike”

Indeed… common denominator comes to mind…

Can DLC (most prevalently FPS Maps, but also add-on missions, etc) be made available to the whole family instead of just one account?

I only have to buy one copy of a game for my family to share… but when it comes to DLC, I have to pay for it several times over if each person wants to play it on their own account…
