[Guest]

Microsoft may drop the Gold membership requirement for its entertainment apps, which means no extra fees for Netflix, Hulu Plus and more.

This would be a good move for MS, there are a million ways to stream Netflix for free. Even my TV has a built in Netflix app. And I doubt there is more than 10 people in the US who buy a gold membership just to stream Netflix on their Xbox.

I'd rather build some insanely cheap ass streaming PC for like $250 using the new AMD athlons instead of spend $500 + $60 a year on an Xbox purely for Netflix and other media purposes. They'll probably delay it for as long as they can thats for sure. the millions that they get from the Gold membership isnt something to want to casually look at (well maybe for MS because they have billions).

Or better yet just use my home laptop for that purpose. No money wasted at all.
