Xbox One was dead to me when they announced those plans at the unveiling.
The fact that they tried to launch with that tells me all I need to know: It's what they want, and it's what they'll try to turn things into over time since it clearly wasn't going to fly at launch.
The company that pushes Pay2Pay2Play.
Of course, the Gold thing isn't exactly new, and I rather expected it. Most of that stuff was behind Gold on 360, and the added stuff just isn't a surprise, really.

I've shed the Microsoft shackles from the moment this bloody thing was announced. I've been an avid 360 gamer for 3 years and I just couldn't believe all the sh** they tried to pull on their consumer base. Despite the fact that they've 180'd on practically every anti-consumer practice they WERE going to implement, I refuse to give them money based solely on principle alone.
This bit of news you're sharing is hardly a surprise considering that they've been doing this since the days of original Xbox and even more-so on the 360.
When life gives you lemons, suck on them.
Kinect is still going to be a part of every X1 package, so who knows, maybe a firmware update a year after the console's launch will make it, or the daily log-ins, or fees for playing used games, required again.
For all we know for now, they may have just turned 360 degrees and walked away.
Live never sat well with me in the first place. I think I tried a year for the original Xbox, then never renewed. Never bothered with the 360 and see no reason to bother with the new one that apparently has ED on top of it all.
vertical orientation is a bad idea on consoles that do support it, though
it's just less of a bad idea because they designed it with it in mind, but it's still bad for the disc and IIRC cooling on a number of models of all consoles
