Ok, i plane on getting a xbox 360 for online gameplay, but if you get a silver star, do you still get to play online games like Halo 3? Or download Monster hunter frontier and play online? Or do i buy a Gold star? Once i get one for 60$, do i still have to pay anouther 50 for a year access? Somone please tell me...
