| VGKing said: This is a rip off. I'm sorry but it's true. $450+ for an Xbox 360 is ridiculous. Instead of decreasing the price, Microsoft is increasing it. I pray to god that people are smart enough to do simple math. All you need to do is provide games for your console and people will buy it. If you are concerned about the install base of your console, decrease the price! This is how this works. Don't fool people into thinking your console is cheaper than the others and trick them into paying monthly fees. /rant |
If you dont want to do it that way then dont.
This is great news for those of us that have paid for Xbox Live ( and helped it flourish into the amazing service it is today ) who would get great benefit by having everything added together.
Next generation I will definately consider Buying an Xbox with lower price and a monthly subscription.
Currently I pay Microsoft 30GBP/year for Live Gold. 89.90 GBP/year for Xbox Music and I will buy movies in HD on Xbox Video as that 1 purchase allows me to watch it on Xbox, Surface and Windows Phone 8 without the need for a 2nd purchase, transfer or codec change.
