said by AnonName :Do you even understand the "subscription model?"
It's not like a magazine subscription where you get to keep all the stuff you received during your subscription. It's closer a video rental subscription model. You pay your money for the download, and then after a few months, you either pay again, or the game expires. Forget about digging it out of the closet and playing it again a few years later. Forget about buying a game used at a discount or for that matter selling it used when you're bored with it.

Oh, right, you're not spending real money...
You're just throwing around Microsoft Points, aren't you?

I have content I purchased several years ago on Xbox lIve. I can still downlaod it and play it on any Xbox360 I want. As long as I'm logged into the gamertag that I purchased it with. I wish this capability was available with all games.
