I was going to reapply to Netflix as a friend's subscription that we were using up was over. Apparently only on xBox is there an additional fee besides the Netflix fee of about $8 a month - xBox Gold membership is also required to read Netflix for some gawdawful reason that Netflix has nothing to do with. the Playstation and other consoles do not require additional fees in this case. It's just fucking Microsoft.
