It seems Microsoft is starting to get it (see what I did there?) when it comes to their gold subscribed member on xbox live. With this new program, which we can we can only hope will continue on for quite a while, they seem to understand they need need to give out more.
The article is a Kotaku article about how Microsoft is giving gold members discounts on specific marketplace items each week. This week's discount is Braid, normally 1200 points (~$15), being reduced to 800 points (~10). I'd like to not that if you don't have this game, now is the time to get it for sure! It also says that later this month we will be receiving Ninja Gaiden II DLC, Project Gotham Racing 4 DLC and Xbox classic Fable as further discounts. Remember that these only go on for a duration of a week so you will need to act somewhat fast in your decision to throw down some points.
This is a good idea for Microsoft because up till this point, gold members were getting the short end of the stick. If you look at the PS3 owners, they get the same online play, but don't have to pay for it. This doesn't look good for the 360. Silver members weren't missing too much as well if you look at all the free online weekends Microsoft puts out for silver members. Hopefully these bonuses will keep coming.
