Just wondering which Xbox Live package everyone is gonna go for. That is, stick with Silver, or go for Gold?

And if you're getting gold, are you gonna splash out on 12 months, or start with something smaller?

Yeah, I am gutted that I missed out on GAME's first shipment of premium packages. Hopefully I can still sort one out for launch.

I will definately go for 12 months, but not sure to just get the card or the full package.

I'll probably get gold. Possibly the 12 month bundle. We don't really know how much 200 marketplace points are either but the $20 off a game alone is good enough for me.

Yea and a number of other features. But it doesn't have the Marketplace and you can't play games on Live. I think those are the only difference.

I'll stick to silver for a while to see if I like the whole experience with the Free Live Weekends. If it goes over well, and I enjoy it, then I'll switch to the twelve month plan.

I'll definately be Gold! Pretty much every Xbox title I purchased was mainly for Xbox LIVE. I'm sure I'll get several of the awesome single player titles for the 360, but I will more than likely focus on the LIVE titles again...no way in hell I'm waiting for "Free Play Weekends" with the Silver.

I agree with you lilninja. However Microsoft wants to be appealing to all markets. For example the marketplace is available for silver members. It's just a way for Microsoft and software developers to earn some extra profit.

Silver is basically the bait. Once you get a taste you'll be hooked, but in this case that's not such a bad thing :)

Gold all the way, I think it's the only way to go. Silver if you don't have broadband.

Don't you need broadband for both? At least that's what I understood...

Not sure, but at least we wont have to worry 'bout playing w/ or against someone w/ a slow connection speed. As someone whoplayed online cpu games I can vouch for how much a pain that would be.
