Needless to say, fine print is there for a reason, and they often cover the rear end of the company whenever something goes awry. Apparently one will need Xbox Live Gold Membership for Twitter and Facebook when they are made available to the masses, although a Microsoft spokesperson claimed otherwise, citing that the company was “still formulating its plans” for integrating the social networking services into Xbox Live. Clarification has pointed that “Facebook and Twitter on Xbox Live will be free to Gold members, with a free trial period also available for Silver members.” Guess going Gold regardless of credit cards or Xbox Live memberships has its privileges.
