It's as simple as that...if they include even one extra like that then it really would be a good deal. If they don't, it wouldn't be a good deal for most everybody. But for a few people, especially impatient one's like me, it's the right fit because no matter what you do if you wait you'll save, but sometimes people just don't want to wait and will pay a bit more to get it sooner. If you've ever payed more for shipping on anything just to get it sooner or clicked the "Buy it Now" button on ebay or anything along that nature, then you are a hypocrite. |
MSRP is $59 for 1 year of Live membership... however, you can typically find it for $49.
This deal costs $15 per month.... or $15 * 12... wait for it.... $180 per year. So after the two years you've paid $360 for something that should have cost $100. That leaves $260 to cover the extra features that are not confirmed yet.
You'd require more than any one of these rumored services and then its only a real value if you were already paying for it or already going to pay for it.
I've never paid for any extra shipping to get something quicker and in fact I try to always find the deal that will be free. As for buy it now on Ebay... wtf that isn't even relevant as many items on Ebay have buy it now that is nearly the same or on rare occasions cheaper than what some are auctioning for... and those are when buy it now is more than worth it.
Don't bother mentioning that I forgot the $100 saved off the hardware because fact is, 360 will be reduced in price later this year and that could be anywhere from $50 to $100 discount, plus you add in the bundled games that always seem to be found and bam.... it's all equal again.
THe only thing this deal does is provide MS with a guaranteed two year commitment for their paid service.
