    The only people this is going to stop is people that have no business opening their iphones anyhow.

    Why should anyone have to pay $5/mo for Gold, just to gain access to a streaming service you are already paying for.
    It's not like Microsoft is adding any value here.

    If you want free access, just get and AppleTV or even cheaper, a Roku.

    The #1 thing that all living things fear is death
