How many of those apps require Gold membership, I can’t say, but it’s likely that obvious ones will need a separate subscription as well as XBL Gold which is a shame since you don’t need any special membership on the PlayStation 3 to run apps, that would explain why the PS3 came out as the most used console people watched Netflix on.
