I'm in the process of writing out the business models in a blog post and explaining the difference between them. I'll also be making my educated guess as to the business model and why at the end of it. I think now there are certain games you can play online with silver, a free version, with not as many benefits. For gold members now, X-box live puts up one or two games every half-month we can download for free (In the second half of july it was AC2 if I'm correct, and before that it was Fable 3)
