Xbox Live Gold members to get downloadable content faster
Joystiq.com reports
The point is that Microsoft is finally treating the Gold level like what it is supposed to be, a step above the Silver membership. Silver members don't pay for anything, it's a free service meant to provide an "introduction" to XBL. Gold members pay for additional features, and with it they expect their perks to be delivered. While it's limited to trailers right now, expect it to expand to demos, downloadable content, and anything else Microsoft can think about leveraging for more subscribers to make the jump up to the next tier while their model for microtransactions seems to be falling apart with the inmates running the asylum.
