Xbox Live is already free. You just can't play with anyone else.

Default I don't mind.

I really don't care because I understand why you would charge for online play.

$50 bucks is a very reasonable price for 13 months of entertainment. Dinner and a movie with a girl friend is bound to cost you about 40 bucks for just one evening.

I agree that that it's cheap, but the gf is worth more if she seems into you.

Nope. We're talking about M$ here. Plus i wouldn't want it to be free. Reasons should be obvious.

Microsoft just announced over half members on live are Gold meaning they earn $40 million for members not to mention Microsoft points and stuff. Its a big earning to lose to make it free.

well they are kindof getting heat from the playstation network because they have basiclly all the same stuff as LIVE but plastation network is free. so i believe that they might be lowering it but im not for sure on it.

Xbox Live will NEVER be free, because of Microsoft's greed.

Has anyone else heard this rumour.

I already have live upto July this year and was wondering would I get a refund or microsoft points for my remaining account.

Cheers

Xbox LIVE?...Being free?...Uh? I wouldn't get my hopes up until it is posted on the news section of xbox.com

I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't be able to pay for their servers and that for Xbox Live if it was free... Thats my opinion though

I don't really care if they make it free. I mean, it would be cool not to pay for XBL but in the end it is alright as it is now. 50$ a year is something everyone can afford.

I somehow doubt that. After all, I'm sure such a huge amount of microsoft's profits come for LIVE subscriptions, they wouldn't be thinking about making xbox live free for quite awhile. Maybe on the next XBox?

I'm sure they will tell us at least in a year's advance so that people don't waste their money... maybe February of next year.

I heard something about gamerscore converting into something when the 360 first came out, but never officially from microsoft. I think its always been a rumor....
