Why am I paying for something I can’t use

I'm disappointed they will be offering the usage of apps to "Silver" members. I'm going to miss these threads that would pop up every week. They were always a good read.

It will never be free. It has been argued against for years. Hundreds of people have posted in the wish list and feedback forum against it and it still hasn't changed. I agree apps should be access able regardless of subscription but it will never happen.

lol =D sorry that made me laugh

If it wasn't for "whiners" like me, you'd have a brick in your livingroom every time you lost your internet connection, not an xbox.

What a load of crap. lol. Do you really think they restructured the entire console, because of some Internet whiners on the forums?! Give me a break. The pre-order numbers weren't up to where MS was wanting them to be. They figured out what it was
about the console people didn't agree with and then they made the change. If people were pre-ordering en masse do you think they would've made any changes?? Hell to the no.

I didn't imply I'm being forced at gunpoint to purchase said service, as your condescending first question implies. I'm being forced to pay for a service in order to use another service I get elsewhere free. I don't understand how you can click the title
and not be able to understand the incredibly brief statement.

I am voting with my wallet: not paying for a subscription.
