update
[RANT]
So I didn't renew my gold account and am on silver. I'm still paying monthly for Netflix, my ATT internet, and I still get internet access with a silver account...but I can't watch Netflix on a silver account.
Why do I have to pay for a gold account to watch Netflix if I'm already paying the monthly Netflix fee and have internet access on my 360?
I have internet access, I am paying for netflix, but I can't watch it unless I give Microsoft money for the gold account???? What do they have to do with my Netflix service?!!?!!!!?!! I can watch it just fine on my laptop, why do I have to pay for the gold account in order to watch it on my tv through live? What does the gold account have anything to do with netflix?
[/RANT]
fuck xbox live. I'm done.

Could you clarify why Microsoft needs to make a profit when they're not involved? I'm paying for Netflix, I have internet access, and I have internet access with a silver account. Where exactly does the need for a gold account fit into all of this? Streaming movies and TV shows is not a service Microsoft is involved in. Why do I have to pay them for it?
I'm not paying Apple to watch Netflix on my macbook.
This isn't an apple v microsoft rant, I just happen to have that kind of laptop. My point is Live isn't an internet service provider and I'm not using any of their servers by streaming netflix movies. So I don't understand the charge. If I'm mistaken I'll happily put my foot in my mouth, but I believe Netflix has their own instant streaming servers....which I'm already paying for with their monthly fee. Where exactly does Live fit into it for $60 a year? To use a piece of hardware I've already bought for a service I'm already paying for?
I'm not anti-microsoft or anti-live, I understand the need for a gold account for online games and things that use servers Microsoft provides. I just didn't renew it because it wasn't worth it for me given how little I play games online. But this is a third party service that Microsoft has nothing to do with. I hate re-using the same analogy, but it's fitting - It'd be like Apple charging me to watch netflix on my macbook.

No it's not. In fact, that should go down in history as one of the worst analogies ever and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Homer is bang on by saying it's like paying Apple to watch Netflix on your laptop. Netflix obviously has a partnership with Microsoft, so there's absolutely no reason you should have to pay Microsoft to access a Netflix service you're paying for on a device you've already purchased from Microsoft. It's completely unnecessary and just another shining example of how greedy M$ really is.
BTW can we get a competent madmin to update the Xbox widget? MyGamerCard has only been dead for like two years.
