So, someone had fun today, as I just received these from my anonymous Best Buy insider....

The weird thing is that, the Pro model which isn't listed anymore is not out of stock till 2013, that and the model # of the arcade stayed the same, only changing the outside of the box..

hmm I wonder what the price will be? Are they already cutting even on the xbox?

It would have to drop to $299, a more than $100 difference on a two different console versions looks bad to the consumer. I also love how Microsoft got smart and took the Component/HDMI cables out, and put in Standard Def ones...

Just adds more money to the money machine... and helps a little with a price cut.

I do like the boxes, much much better, but the info on the box is very misleading..

Its 50 dollars a year, not per game....

i bet he meant 50 dollars, i.e. a game.

i dont have an xbox so i cant speak for live, but from what i hear its better than the psn, so it gives people a sense of value for their money.

There are certain aspects of Live that are so much better than PSN, but does that really make up for the fact that you are paying to play online? Not to me, I already pay for the internet, the game, and the console I am not paying to play online....I only fell for it once!

never again!

They are however starting to get tricky, if you don't buy Live you can't download new demos until 2-3 weeks later! which is BS, but whatever I don't desire to download any demos from them

Also, you can't access your Netflix unless you have Live Gold. I'll just stick to my buggy incomplete PSN that gives me free demos and free online play and pocket my $60
