Microsoft have revealed that Silver Xbox Live members will no longer recieve access to free downloadable content at the same time as gold users.

Silver users will now see a red circle with a slash through it to make it clear that the content is restricted, along with a message confirming its exclusivity to paying Gold subscribers.

"This is not done to annoy our Silver members - limited time exclusive access to content is just one of the many benefits of having a Gold Xbox Live account," revealed Major Nelson on his blog.

So do you think this is fair? Let us know your thoughts.
