I know this is a rumor, but this whole subscription idea sound like a "potential" bad idea: I mean say if the next xbox cost about $200 to make and they sell with a $99 subscription and after a month or two the buyer just stops paying....MS has lost about $70 assuming it was $15 a month like the current deal.(all hypothetical of course)
maybe I just threw out some horrid business analogy...i just don't want so see MS losing money. |
I have no facts to back this up but I'm guessing there's some kind of cancellation penalty bound to the deal.

I was thinking of that, but how will they enforce it if the buyer isn't willing to pay? I guess they'd just put it on their card....that or hefty men will start repo-ing Xbox's lol

Actually they would probably do what most businesses would do to ensure they recieve their money. There would likely be a large penalty fee for opting out of the subscription before your contract expires. If the customer didn't pay they would likely send the bill multiple times and if customer still does not pay they would probably have some type of insurance that covers them for losses. The customer likely gets turned over to a Collections agency where they will be hounded every day to pay their obligations to collections.
