My totally sane idea: ($599 dorrars, pweese) Take a page from the cell phone company business plan. Make the system insanely powerful but make users subscribe to something like XBL if they want to buy the console for $200. With them as XBL customers, you bill them periodically ($5-$6 a month or whatever). With them as Live users, you're likely to influence them into buying more online content. This way, your console is affordable, powerful, your online service is even more of a necessity, and everybody wins.

And then, my mind went insaner.


this is more than likely imo, i am preetty sure about Sony charging a fee (like MS) in order to play Online, so this would be no surprise to me. and i could imagine that MS is raising the price for XBL, making cutting edge hardware cheaper from the start.
