I really hope that MS revamps what you actually get for XBL Silver & Gold.
As it is at the moment, Gold is really poor value compared to PSN & PSN+.
The PS3 lets you play online multiplayer for free, the 360 requires XBL Gold.
The PS3 lets you use the web browser for free, the 360 requires XBL Gold.
The PS3 lets you use Netflix & Lovefilm & 4oD etc. etc. etc. for free, the 360 requires XBL Gold. [obviously with both you still need a Netflix/Lovefilm sub.]
I think that MS should make those things free, like they are for the PS3, and then do something like PSN+ to get people to pay extra.

I'm sure that MS has applied for all sorts of patents over the years. Doesn't mean that they will be implemented.

The ultimate system that Xbox One will use for used games and online authentication sounds like it is still in open debate on some level internally, which may explain the company's reticence in more directly clarifying the matter this week. Microsoft executives have been discussing the reaction to the confused messaging surrounding used games and internet requirements and plan to detail the console's take on both sometime before E3, according to our sources.
