Free to Gold members with Silver Xbox Live members able to access on a trial basis
Microsoft has clarified yesterday’s confusion regarding the upcoming integration of Twitter and Facebook on Xbox 360, admitting that Silver Xbox Live members will not be able to access the service on an ongoing basis.
“Facebook and Twitter on Xbox Live will be free to Gold members, with a free trial period also available for Silver members,” a statement from the platform holder explained.
“Facebook and Twitter on Xbox Live will offer a truly one-of-a-kind social experience, completely optimized for the TV and seamlessly integrated onto your console.
“Add to that exclusive access to Last.fm, Netflix instant streaming, demos, trailers and discounts, plus the best multiplayer gaming network on the planet, and we’re confident Xbox Live Gold memberships is hands-down the best value in home entertainment.
“We’re committed to adding new features and value for our Gold members, and will continue to do so.”

Ok
Thats cool... Except I've been able to do all this for free for years with PS3's built in web browser.
dont say that....

I really really hate you sony fanboys, you just post on every topic, post or article you can find.
Yeah, i cant believe that you made an account on this website just to post that message.
And yes, so did i to post this.
Anyway, how much does sony pay you for doing this? or is it a sign of revenge because you wasted your $599 gamble?
Anyway, have fun on twitter and facebook guys!
It's not actually that bad...
What difference does it make that it's Gold Members only? It's not like they're charging any extra for using it, I'd be pissed off if they allowed Silver Members to use it when Goldies pay so much. MS have to encourage more upgrades to Gold, it's good for the console.
As for the PS3, yeah it's nice that you can surf the net on that, but it's no substitute for a proper browser on MAC/PC/Linux.
About Twitter.
What can Twitter actually do for my business?
