Netflix and other apps to ditch Xbox Gold
Change is a coming: Xbox Live users will soon be able to watch Netflix on your Xbox without paying for Xbox Live Gold. Also free will be Hulu, Youtube, and HBO GO. This levels the playing field for XBox as other systems have allowed this free access for years
Also free to play include:
Machinima
Twitch
Upload
Netflix
Univision Deportes
GoPro
Red Bull TV
HBO GO
The NFL app for Xbox One
MLB.TV
NBA Game Time
NHL Game Center
The update will also make Onedrive, and Internet Explorer, and OneGuide accessible without Xbox Live Gold. The only thing you will need Xbox Gold for is online gaming and downloading.
Gold users will get more bonuses. Microsoft will continue its practice of free games for Gold members, while adding the promise of discounts (50 to 75 percent) in Gold-only sales.
The change will begin on June 9th.
