Ultimately, tying the status to the account is the better solution
most of the time. You're not often going to see an entire family where
each member has their own Xbox Live account on a single Xbox 360
console - most of the time, the console's going to be used by only one
person, whether it's because there's only one person in the household,
one person who games in the household or one person who does most of
the gaming while others log in occasionally.

I'm not sure if you can really conclude this.  I would think numerous
households have multiple siblings where 2 or more are within gaming
age and wanting to play online.  They either share a single Gold
account or get multiple Gold accounts.  I'd be interested to know what
most families are doing.  I know I would have had a hard time sharing
an account with my brother when I was growing up.

My niece and nephews shared one account until they were old enough to
have jobs of their own. Now they each have their own accounts which
they pay for. IMO "that" is how most families do it. My son has his
own account which I pay for because I shared enough as a child and
don't want to now! : ) But wow would our XBL score be impressive if
we shared since we are into different types of games. He is hogging my
PS3 right now playing Ratchet but I'm booting his ass off at 7 so I
can fire up MW2.

Before Jonah runs in saying I thought you had such and such amount of
systems let me add for his viewing pleasure that we both prefer to
play in my gaming room. It has the best display, best sub and
Buttkickers installed under the theater/gaming seats.
