MS is definitely going to subsidize the prize with a 3 year online contract - just like cell phones do now and being a media box will probably sell through cable providers too (who might bundle it with other services and discount the price further).

This gives MS the ability to really step up the tech to levels PS can't compete with (We've seen repeatedly that Nintendo doesn't need high-end tech to survive and thrive) while still remaining cost competitive.


I believe both Sony and MS will bring a contract model for their new consoles. This system works on smartphones and I bilieve that it also works on consoles.
