Boy am I getting tired of MS marketing rubbish. All these Kinect videos showing people so over joyed at their amazing experience, all smiling and looking at each other with their jaws wide oven.
Slapping free onto something's name in this economic climate is just trying to get in more customers, which is fair enough, and strictly speaking true and accurate, but I bet they are going to roll with changing XBL Gold to 'XBL costs £10 more than it did before'.
A name change doesnt mean anything in real terms, and all it will do is make the unsuspecting think they are now getting something free, which previously wasnt. This isnt true and somewhat annoys me personally, but its only a personal gripe I guess.
