Now the whiners (not people on here but the people on the xbox.com forums) can now buy thiers and shut up.
PS wow, 85% of the 360's are connected to xbox live.

85% is a little higher then I would have expected but not by much since it actually comes free with the 360. I wonder how many have actually purchased gold memberships for any extended period. You can connect with dial up? Or do you have to have high speed of some sort?

You can only connect with a broad band connection.

In that case I am a little suprised that many peeps have high speed like that.

this is indeed a good news for all of us. its just about time that microsoft will keep up with the increasing number of people who wants to have an xbox. or this could be MS move to maintain loyalty with dissapointed people so as not to shift to PS3. As we all knew PS3 will be officialy released on november.

Good monopoly strategy by MS
