Microsoft - Xbox Live FREE! - View Post

Yes its true and it always has been. It now seems Microsoft want to make everyone aware of this fact also. The problem of course is they are kinda ignoring the bits that are not.

The new pictures of the Arcade and Elite clearly show Xbox Live is FREE! whereas previously they would of mentioned the gold account now they just add a little number 4 which I am guessing refers to Gold someplace on the box.

Also the latest advert, you know the one the Sackboy advert it also alludes to Xbox Live being FREE! again at the end it mumbles something about all the stuff that is not.

So is this a new tactic and maybe some changes to how the Silver account works or just Microsoft tricking the consumer.

 

Notes about this post:

This post is not about the live service rather the move to advertising it for free when we as members of the more savvy public know not to be completely true. If you believe for example that they may be modifying the live service hence why the have shifted to upping the Free marketing then this is of interest.
