Anyone? My months trial just run out and I can see no difference. Still able to download demos & movies - haven't tried playing as yet, but my 360 still signs me in straght away as soon as I switch it on...

I asked my mate who has had a 360 since launch day and he said with Gold, everything was free - well, apart from the £40 a year, I still believe you have to pay for downloadable content like extra game maps and the like...?

is it really worth having a "Gold" account in the first place...?

in a word YES well worth it
compare it to what you may spend on a night out
plus you know that when your girlfriend says "your always on that thing"
you can come back with " at least im not out getting drunk" works every time
