The wheels are beginning to turn for Microsoft's attempt to transform the 360 and Xbox Live into more than a place for 12-year-olds to vent their frustrations in FPS games. One of their many deals with top online multimedia and social networking platforms is with Last.fm, one of the most popular streaming music sites. While few details have been said about the actual access you'll receive on your console from Last.fm, pricing details have been unearthed, showing who gets what with different Xbox Live memberships.
Details:
Silver Member - 3-month trial, limited to 3 hours of access per month, with video advertisements
Gold Members - Unlimited access, but with ads
Last.fm Paid Subscribers - $3/month for unlimited access, extra features (TBA), no ads

It's not much of a big deal. I disagree that silver account holders should only get 3 hours of play. Last FM is free to everyone. But other than that, the $3 thing is already being done at last fm right now.
Also, the extra features are probably similar to that of the last fm extras when you pay the $3. You can see who views your site, and you can basically create your own radio with your own songs.
But yeah, I think it's kind of ridiculous about the silver accounts. But hey, anyway to get Microsoft more cash right?
