They finished the "New Xbox Live Experience" just in time I suppose as well to help with the buzz of the dropping 360 prices. Netflix streaming movies alone is a great reason to have it.

Everyone is forgetting about the x-factor for Microsoft though... the surge of HDD sales once everyone realizes that you can't really get all the enjoyment from the console without one

 

Thankfully microsoft are doing some good deals on those, you are right though, a lot of arcade buyers will be looking into buying one I just hope the situation doesn't piss off too many buyers.

 

The REAL x factor for microsoft will be Xbox live ;) can you imagin all those new users signing up? and I can only imagin a lot of buyers bought the 12 month membership last christmas and so will be updating their gold membership around now.

 

M$ should have money coming out of their ears!!!

 

Very, very true.  About $50.00 a year for the likely 4 million units that will be sold during the holidays.... $200-million extra bucks in about a month.  Now that's a sweet deal for Big Bill and the boys at MS.

And, let us not forget about Netflix... even with the small $8.99 subscription, they are going to rake it in the this holiday season as well.
