Access to the latest Xbox Live playable demos are now restricted as part of the autumn update. Anyone with a Silver account must now wait a week before accessing any free content, allowing Gold account members to fill their boots meantime. Microsoft says this isn’t a penalty for freebie Silver subscribers, instead a benefit to the paid-for Gold supporters.
Rather than an incentive to join Gold, this is a bit of a slap in the face don’t you think? As Sony’s PlayStation Network grows from strength to strength, and is free for all, how much longer can Microsoft keep this annual subscription thing going on Xbox Live? This is surely a backwards step.
