We can all dream...

In order for them to do that, they'd have to refund the money to everyone who bought 6 month or year subscriptions in advance.
Not a chance.

i don't mind paying, free would be cool though. but really, 50 for a whole years really isn't that bad "14ish" cents per day is nothing

i also heard about the dude from microsoft. And my friend read in a magazine that it will be free this year. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD, look at "sentuamessage" their video shows you that it will not be free

Depends on which kind of magazines he read it in, they just want people to buy them and earn money. Same as microsoft, a little cheaper maybe but 60 euro's for a year membership is a nice price if ya ask me.

I thought i heard something about it going down to $30 but that might have been fake?

jokinen · 25-02-2009, 10:52 AM

I would say no, but it should be becouse you have to pay from everything on xbox live

Barzma · 25-02-2009, 11:48 AM

No it isn't going to happen in my opinion because a) they make too much money and b) they wouldn't tell a big secret like this to a CC guy.

I don't think Microsoft has made a formal announcement of this occurrence. Although, seeing as they just ripped off the Wii with their NXE and avatars, it wouldn't really surprise me if they made XBL free in an attempt to combat the Playstation. The $50 a year is a big reason for people not buying the Xbox.

think they meant the gta IV xbox live days where xbl was (17.~23.2.) free for 6 or 7 days.
But u could only play gta IV and TLAD ("The Lost And Damned") online to test them.
Every xbl silver acc was upgraded to gold for those days.

but i don't think it's going to b free when they earn so much money w/ this

From what I know about Microsoft, they won't give up the income they get off this...

killer5918 · 01-03-2009, 12:13 AM

no they make like a million bucks off live

Keys · 01-03-2009, 08:02 AM

tbh i really doubt that microsoft will make it free but you never know i guess!

xbox live will never be free. microsoft always milks everything for all they can get. if they can charge you, they will charge you

NewEgg is selling 13 months for $40 with free shipping, for people who don't live near (or want to go to) a WalMart.

Newegg.com - Microsoft Xbox Live Gold 12 Month Subscription Card

(I know it says 12 months, but it's 12 months + 1 bonus month.)

CrashNBurn · 03-03-2009, 04:42 PM

Amazon had a really good deal too... it was $35+shipping. Looks like it's back up to $39: Sageth's Amazon Store - Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Card plus 1 Month Bonus
