According
to rumors on several sites around the net, (I'm not linking to
them as they are unconfirmed) the next console from Microsoft,
reportedly named "Xbox Infinity", is expected to be
released in November with two different prices available. Standard
pricing will be $500, with a $300 version available with a two
year commitment to Xbox Live Gold at $15 per month. The second
option essentially ends up equaling $660.

I
have to say, if this pricing structure is true, it's an absolutely
ingenious move by Microsoft for three reasons. First of all, it
almost surely undercuts whatever price Sony will announce for the
PS4. Secondly, I suspect for an extra $160 (significantly less if you
already planned to join Xbox Live Gold) over two years, the vast
majority of consumers will gladly make the commitment to Xbox Live
Gold, something they're likely to subscribe to anyway, in order to
save $200 now. Thirdly, that's $200 more in Microsoft's pockets.
After all, where do you think that $200 is gonna go? Duhhhh!!,
$200 represents three games and an accessory. Those guys in Redmond
ain't no dummies.
Do
you think this rumor is fact or fiction? My vote is fact. It sounds
exactly like something Microsoft would do.
So,
what do you think about this? Comment below!!
