xbox live free membership question

[T2K]

Hi guys, im new here but not new to 2k, been a 2k fan since 00 or 01 cant remember lol. but anyway ive been on the ps3 for the past two years cause i had got the red rings of doom but finally got my 360 fix a couple of months ago for mass effect, so i really didnt bother with xbox live giving the fact that the ps3 online is free, so i buy my online games for the ps3.but last year i heard that nba 2k ports there game to the ps3 from the 360 and is originally made on the 360, i want to go back to the 360 cause from what i seen the graphics are cleaner than the ps3. not saying by drastic measures, i dont want to start a ps3 vs 360 debate or argument. i have both no bias here. but its a little difference. anyway back to what i wanted to know do the xbox live free membership get there demos later than gold membership like the old silver membership they used to have? and also which console is really the best to buy nba 2k12 on. thanks for helping in advance

Yes, unless you have gold you have to wait a week for demos.

Moving to the right forum...

Cant you just create a second account on your 360 and get 1 month free?

The PC. Twice the game (at least) for half the price.

The free level shenagians vary. Even the demo stuff has varied.
Like when the 360 first came out everything was fine.
Then they did this idiotic crap for 9 months.
Then it was equal again.
Then back to waiting.

Then there's indvidual games.
I can download created fighters in EA MMA but can't download created wrestlers in Smackdown vs. Raw 11.
I can download rosters and upload highlights in NCAA 12 but couldn't download rosters or even access highlights offline in Madden 12 when I had it during season ticket.
There's game add-ons that are supposed to be free,some never came off of gold,some are right away,some have to wait,some wait for it but it changes to paid after a week.
They even went as far to make silver/free wait a week for the patches for Burnout Paradise.
And the sales. There's the deal of the week only for gold but other sales vary too. Never know.
The free weekends,can never be sure there what you can/can't do during those either.

Complete and utter nonsense. They cost themselves and developers money. Can never be sure what you're getting or not getting. This is why I got all multiplatform games on PS3 when it still worked even if they were "worse" and now get them on PC everytime it's an option.
