I don't understand why silver customers should be pissed. They're not paying monthly for Live. Microsoft is finally giving some sort of benefits to those that pay, besides playing online. I don't think that it's their job to take care of customers that aren't paying for a Black Friday sale; it's a perk of the pay-to-play membership, and a really minimal one at that.
And also, the deals aren't that great, both in value and in quality of selection, imo. The only thing worth having ...
Montreal ring a bell? There are a ton of developers in Montreal; plenty happens in Canada that is video game related. MIGS (the Montreal International Game Summit) was just held last week, as well.

"Defeats the purpose"? I doubt watching on a 60" TV instead of a 15" laptop screen is defeating the purpose, even if you have to choose the movie on the laptop. What a nitpicker. Can't believe this is news.
I sold mine for $80, looks like I got ripped off.
I got in! Great success. I didn't download any of the Home themes or anything from PSN so take that as you will.
This is a shame but strange - it got a great score in Famitsu. Guess we'll have to play it for ourselves. O_O

Really? Really..?
Obviously it'll kill game rentals. The game store should sell codes for that then, I suppose. As for used game sales, that's the whole freakin point, man. As I said, IF YOU READ THE ARTICLE, you would have known that the whole point of this is to STOP used game sales since the developers don't see a penny from those sales. If you can't afford all the games you want then, wait for them to go down in price, or buy only the games you really want. It's not a hard concept.
I'm not "spending" any time installing. There's this thing called the world. I don't need to do anything for it to install, I can walk away and let it do its thing and come back whenever. I can make a sandwich or do whatever else I was already planning on doing. Obviously they saw a need to offer the option and plenty of people are embracing the feature with open arms. I'm sure they didn't just decide to do that this year; the complaints have been many and they developed a solution,...
Unless you install all four discs of Lost Odyssey or any other multi-disc game (which you don't need to, you only need to install the disc you're using atm), there's no way a game would take up 20GB. The most it would take is ~7GB and even then we see a lot of games that are less than this. It's absolutely worth it, as mentioned above it saves your drive speed, and in data intensive games like LO, it does make a difference in loading. If you want your DVD drive to die faster and have M$ charg...
IMO, most people that have a 360 do connect to LIVE at one point or another, a lot of features come from its online connectivity.
Then Game$top will give people $9 for a new game so they can jack the price up 3-4 times and make a profit still.
You obviously didn't read the article. It'd be DLC for people who buy the game used. If you buy it new, it's free.
Well I'll be grabbing the PAL version of this game instead.
A-friggin-men! That was the first thing I thought when I clicked this story, haha.
Hammy, there is no serial number on 360 games. Your idea makes no sense. If you're really that bothered with changing discs then maybe you're not cut out for gaming; the benefits of installing greatly outweigh my not wanting to burn three calories to get up and put a disc in.
I figured they'd do this. I didn't get the annual. But I'm not paying $25 for a beta.
They've been on the rise since August I believe. Or recently, but they're out there.
Played Gears 2 at my buddy's house the other night and it is SICK!
I sold three last week for $15 each.
DaSaintFan... I think gd's sarcasm flew over your head... way over, in fact...
