For the low price of $79.95 per year, Xbox Live Gold membership gives you $1000 in free games, including backward compatible Xbox 360 games for the Xbox One. That is amazing value considering the caliber of some of the games that become available. May’s Games with Gold lineup has been announced and whilst these particular games aren’t my cup of tea, I’m sure they’ll be good value for plenty of gamers out there.
