How much is xBox live going to cost?

[cmpolis]

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew how much xbox 360 live is going to cost per month, or if it is going to be free, which i highly doubt.

Thanks,
Chris

There are 2 different basis for subscription -1 free and 1 paid.

I can't remember how the paid one is off the top of my head - $US50 per year?

I think they said that If you have a current XBL subscription, then that would transfer over to an Xbox 360 "gold" live account (the paid one). So that would mean that it costs either the same amount, or very close to the same amount as the current XBL subscription. Although these are all just rumors at this point.

$50 a year seems to be a reasonable price, however, these prices are not official yet.

yea Datrix is right i also heard that 2. So, if they do that, they there will be no reason to change the per month per year etc.

It will be free for me with my pre-existing account ;)

gold is $49.99
silver is free

they won't raise the price, because they're trying to get new people on xbl. why would people want to go onto xbox live if they've never played it before and it was 20 bucks more a year than before?

Just to clear up the issue regarding the Silver pack allowing you to play on-line for free at weekend.

It is not true that Xbox Live Silver users will be able to play multiplayer games like Xbox Live Gold members every weekend. However, Microsoft plans to allow Silver users to play multiplayer games online on special weekends similar to when HBO has free programming weekends.

So basically as a Silver Pack user you may only be able to play on-line two out of four weekends for arguments sake.
