Didn't read it. Let's wait for the reveal instead of basing information on rumors that have not been confirmed. |
Jay...maybe you should read it. It has nothing to do with the Next Xbox. The EFA (Entertainment For All) plan is Microsoft subsidized purchase plan for the Xbox 360.

I agree with the subsdized plan, specially for america. I think we saw a thread from VGking a few days ago and why it is bad and I had to roll my eyes. The reason is because phones work the same way. People make a down payment and then pay monthly on a phone and it works. People rather pay a smaller amount upfron than paying $500 for a phone up front. I think the same thing will apply with the NeXbox if they decide to do it. People prefer that smaller down payment. Not everybody, but a lot. it is an option for different types of consumers. But ill read it and see what i says.
EDIT: I see you was talking about the X360 so you used relevant information rather than rumors. Good thread and well thought out :)

I think i'm alittle late Jay, but I think the cell phone plan is more practical than a gaming console. People need cell phones; but they don't need a gaming console.

Tell that to someone 20 years ago ;) Cell phones are a luxury not a necessity. A monthly plan has the potentiol to change gaming forever, and as I said it is an option not a requirement. I think that needs to be addressed since I see certain people (not you) ignoring that. I mean if you would prefer to pay $299 for X360 instead of $99 down paiment then that is ok. You are allowed that option, but others like a small down payment because it isn't as front loaded.
