Since the pay wall will be gone in june if you want to cancel your subscription for XBL Gold you can do so and have MS refund the pro-rata the remaining days of the subscription.

I was shocked when somebody on GAF said to me IE was behind paywall too... it was unbelievable... I just played with friend that had Gold so I never knew that.

Yeah, most people don't pay for live to have accesses to their paid subscriptions. I think MS knows this and thats why they are removing the paywall. Besides why would you pay for that when you can get it free with everyone else?

I haven't turned on my 360 since Halo 4, but I keep paying for gold every year.

If something comes up and I want to play xbox, I want to have the ability to do so. Plus I keep on telling myself I'm buying an Xbox One soon.

This deal is great for pr and lots of gamers, but it's not for me.
