Just a month ago, rumors related to Microsoft’s Xbox 360 started to make the rounds pointing the company’s plans to introduce the game console in conjunction with a subscription at a reasonable price. Smart move if we take into account the fact that both online services and software have been sold as subscriptions. It was just about time for the game console to turn to do that.
So, what Microsoft is said to offer is a $99 version of the 4GB Xbox 360 that comes with Kinect sensor and a two-year subscription of just $15 per month. You’ll get access to the Xbox Live Gold service. Moreover, if you opt for this package you’ll get additional streaming content.
We all know that the video-game console market has been going through some hard times. With this move coming from Microsoft, things will probably do nothing else but to make the completion between Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo tighter. It’s no news that Microsoft has outsold the two other competitors.
Though it seems rather interesting, this package is believed to be not necessarily a good deal on the long run. Currently Microsoft is selling the same Xbox and Kinect for $299 with an annual subscription of Xbox Live Gold for $60. This means $420 over two years. You do the math now and see which of the two options is more indicated to go for.
