Re: The never own anything business model!

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.

Zune has a subscription model too. You can pay a monthly fee and have access to all this content. As long as the service is still active you have access. I don't use this service though since I don't listen to enough new music each month to justify it.
