I'm not trying to be rude, but do people actually buy an Xbox and not have a Gold membership? It equates to something like $5 per month for access to demos, weekly arcade games, an indie game market, promo videos, media streaming, a stable staging environment for multiplayer gaming across games, etc. Not to burst your bubble, but you'll probably need a Gold membership to use the IE browser anyways. Hopefully they launch Skype soon. That's my only real complaint.
Well I'm guessing that people that have more than one console are MUCH less likely to pay for Gold membership. All the things you mentioned you can do for free on the wii or ps3. The only part that would be worth the gold would be multiplayer in a game you couldn't get on another platform. Which does happen, just not often.
