Gold Membership for DLC

Post » Tue May 10, 2011 5:10 pm

I don't play much online and the last DLC I bought was probably for F3. So do you need gold to get the DLC on the 21st? I cant really remember.


Thanks

You need access to the Xbox live marketplace, so I would assume you need a Gold membership....but I could be mistaken, I've only ever had a gold membership.

Edit: looking at the xbox webpage I think I'm wrong...

quote form xbox.com: "Gold members even get the V.I.P. treatment when it comes to new content and great deals. Your Gold membership gives you early access to exclusive content and discounts on games, avatar gear and more with the Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week." Whether this means silver membership you can get DLC's later or not remains to be seen.

With Silver Membership, you can't play online, but you can use other features, like marketplace (i think) and speak with friends and with Gold Membership, you can play online, use marketplace, and do everything else. But I'm not sure if my information is correct or not.

I've been trying to find the info on their website, but they're throwing out mixed signals..... Do you have access to the marketplace now? If not, than I don't know how you would download the new content. If you do have access to the marketplace with the silver membership then you probly will be able to download it eventually...though I suspect the DLC will come out for gold memberships first and you might have to wait.... Like I said they don't make it easy to find the info you need.

I know what gold entitles except getting DLC when it comes out. I know I can get DLC with a silver membership, just need to know if I can get it on the 21st.

Doesn't say. The "dead money" DLC may very well only be available to gold memberships on the 21st and silver who knows when... Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks for trying, like you said the info is vague at best. If I cant get an answer from the forums, I'll just call M$ tomorrow.

I have my answer....you CAN get the DlC on the 21st with only a silver membership.

MODS can close/lock this thread.
