GOLD is the paid subscription like there is now. But you do get a month free with the 360 (not the 360 Core).
And like mentioned above you aren't paying 100 for xbox live (which is only like 50 or 60 for a year anyways) you are paying 100 for a HARD DRIVE!!! And the 360 doesn't come with a bigger hard drive then the 360 core, because the Core doesn't even come with an HD. Therefore you are paying 100 for a hard drive not a "bigger hard drive"
