I figure they would do this slightly after Christmas, but Im no marketing director.

Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

The thing is, XBL usually crashes after christmas for a day or 2...lol. They probably want to beat the insane post christmas online rush...

I dunno, I do agree with the rush causing lag, but I think having 2ish million consoles given out on Christmas and not giving them the taste of sweet, sweet gold is poor planning.........but I'm just a bum and MS has like a couple billion dollars more than me.

You get 1 month free gold anyway when you sign up for a new account, so no need to do it after christmas. Before would be better because little jimmy can see how good it is and ask his mum to get him a subs for crimbo.

Drug dealers often offer a free sample first.

"Well certainly with the Xbox 360, we had some challenges at the launch. Once we identified that we took control of it. We wanted to do it right by our customers. Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

"People don't pay attention to a lot of the details."-Yusuf Mehdi explaining why Xbone DRM scheme would succeed

"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity; it's called Xbox 360,”-Don Mattrick

"The region locking of the 3DS wasn't done for profits on games"-MDMAlliance

Microsoft should at least comp gold users a free 48 hours card or something. Maybe an indie game or xbla game?
