$5 a month, but if you pay for five years of service (the typical lifespan for a console) you're looking at an extra $250 over the initial cost of the console which is pretty lame. It's not like the price of the consoles are subsidized by MS because you're committed to paying for XBL service if you intend to play online.
Of course you can always go without XBL Gold/online play, but that more or less eliminates the platform's #1 merit behind the software line up.
