You can't even buy downloadable games and commercial releases from the Live Arcade without going Gold first. (WTF that's just more of my money MS is losing right there! I can't realistically find everything in the used market relatively easily; it's a lot of time and research just to pay for a game worth $10 or even less.) You pretty much can't do really anything outside of download trials and demos with a silver account, which really turned me off. One more reason why I'll sooner buy a PS3 than an XBOX. At least I don't have to shell out $5 a month just to buy things on their network! (Which would, hilariously, be my only reason for "going Gold"; i.e a huge waste of money.)
I thought you could have been able to buy downloadable games on Xbox silver, you just can't get the full potential out of them with out gold
Honestly other than what I bolded those are primary reasons why I sold my 360.
The 360 community is just shitty as a whole. You have the fanboys and the "hardcore" gamers and 9 year old boys who probably haven't seen a pair of tits yet. I haven't been to this unwelcoming of a community since what, Nsider? I mean hell it could even be the real successor to Nsider.
That and like we both stated. It burns a bigger hole in your pocket.
