Xbox Live 360 pricing revealed?
Not officially, mind.
French website XboxLive.fr is claiming it has stumbled across the US pricing bundles for the Xbox 360 Live service.
The Premium Gold Pack is priced at $69.99 and will get you a 12 month subscription, an Xbox Live headset, $20 off an Xbox 360 game and 200 Xbox Live marketplace points. Plus you can play Billiards in the Xbox Live Arcade.
If you don't need the extras you can get a 12 Month Gold Card, which offers a year's subscription only, for $59.99.
If that sounds like too much commitment, the 3 Month Premium Gold Pack is just $39.99. It includes - as you might have guessed - a three month subscription, plus a headset, $10 off a game, 100 marketplace points and access to Xbox Live Arcade game Joust. A straight 3 Month Gold subscription is $19.99.
And finally there's the 1 Month Gold Card, priced at just $7.99. Of course, if you're a real cheapskate you can stick with the free Xbox Live Silver subscription - but this'll only let you log on to use the marketplace and chatrooms, and you won't be able to play games online.
Microsoft was unavailable for comment so we've really no idea if this is the real deal or a big fat hoax. But, rather interestingly, the same details have recently appeared on the Electronics Boutique website - only they've priced the 12 Month Gold card at $49.99 instead of $59.99.
Truth or lies? We'll keep you posted...

£209 for a 360? Don't make me laugh!
Comment below viewing threshold Show
With the headset comming with the delux pack I'd say that sort of pricing is closer - but FFS Microsoft you didn't do $ = £ for the console so why screw us for the live service?

Er.. nope!

They haven't. We've only seen the cost for the service in the US, not the UK.

Will that not be like most contracts where it's actually an 11month one then? i.e. one month of the 12 is free

Again, EG, this is all speculation and now news.

"Transferring your Xbox Live account to Xbox 360 will be part of the initial set-up procedure when you first plug in your console, and existing users have "Gold" membership. "
So why not just buy a current Xbox live 1 subscription from say Amazon for £30 or so and transfer it to the 360. Job done!

Jesus! what do you want ? MS to send you a free xbox 360 and buy you lunch too?
I honestly cant beleive how decent the pricetag on the 360 is! Its a bloody super powerful peice of kit at almost £100 less then the last gen on release.
I think certain ppl just whine for the sake of it.
