math... it does wonders.

Don't tell that to MS. Supposedly they are going to shove cell phone style contracts with Xbox 720, which would make the console cost more over the 2-year contract period than buying it upfront. The did the same thing with the $99 Xbox 360 and I can't believe people actually fell for it....

$99 + $15 / month x 24 months = $459 vs. buying the same console for $299 upfront and paying $50x2 for 2 years of Xbox Live = $399.

Considering if you look hard enough you can find Xbox Live 1-year for $33-35, it's even worse!
