46 million people paying for XBox Live?
Sounds like the ultimate slap in the face for anyone who wishes XBL will be free.

At this rate it never will be.


I personally believe they will be using XBL as how you pay for the NeXbox like a cellphone subscription plan with added services like DVR


they already do that with the 360


Yea, it was adopted late though.  I believe this will be right out of the gate, 99$ or even less up front and then pay for it yearly or monthly.  That will be huuuuuge.  I believe XBL will go up in price to $99 a year with a more media hub centric.  

P.S. X360 doesnt have DVR like features just yet.  Just a few channels.  I expect that to increase a lot

i think it would be a mistake to make xbox live 99$ a year. have you seen the recent reations of the media lately towards ps+ and xbox live? they basically been slaughtering xbox live and suddenly calling it a rip off, did you read the article about how "ps+ humiliates the indusrty" ? the media backslash for the increase in price would explode, 99$ is A LOT! you also have to consider (and lets be honest here) that most of those people who pay for live do so just to play online. if people see that the price doubled then that might putt them off. 

MS have been experimenting with the subscibtion based model though and i wouldnt be surprised to see if they do it with the next xbox, it might actually work too. but they have to play their cards right
