Oops, you're right, Games for Gold on the Xbox 360 is an exception, you do get to keep the free games when your Xbox Live Gold account lapses. With Games for Gold on the Xbox One though you do need to keep your Gold account active to play the "free" games. The same is true for Sony's Instant Game Collection for the both of the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, they require an active PlayStation Plus membership. In both cases you don't lose the games permanently, you can play them again once you starting paying the subscription fee again. At least that's what Wikipedia says, I don't have any personal experience with these programs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Games_with_Gold_games#Xbox_One https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Network#Instant_Game_Collection Ross Ridge -- l/ // Ross Ridge -- The Great HTMU [oo][oo] rri...@csclub.uwaterloo.ca -()-/()/ http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~rridge/ db //
