XBL Gold finally starts to become rewarding

I'm noticing how there are alot of good deals with DLC and arcade titles that are exclusive to Gold Members of XBL (those who have to pay to play online, get exclusive demos, etc.) and it's really making the 50 bucks a year even less of an issue. Just recently i purchased the Halo 3 Legendary Map pack for 33% of it's original price (it was 600MS but currently 400MS = 5 bucks) sure it might not be a complete steal, but XBL members should appreciate that the XBL team is doing this for us. i mean hell you could get dozens of arcade titles a few days back that were originally 800 MS points (10 bucks) for just 600-500. again, it might not seem like much, but when taking into account this happens a few times a month, over the course of a year, you save almost 50 bucks in the end.
