The new Xbox has so many horrible rumours floating around right now. Always on, need to install games, no used games, etc.

I'd love to see them try to charge money for Live with the new console.

I do think enhanced Live subscriptions will be bundled with certain systems. - Inigo Apr 8, 07:58 4
- If it's like PS+ fine, but if it's 'you need to pay us to play online and use Youtube', they can shove it. -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 07:59 3
  - They're already getting away with charging for it now. Why would Microsoft change that? - Inigo Apr 8, 08:08 1
    - Because I don't think most people will put up with it on a next-gen console. I hope they do try to charge for a worthless (imo) Live subscription. -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 08:19

Yup. I reall think those rumors will be true and they're going to lose a lot ot people back to Sony. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 07:53 2
- I wonder if they are testing the waters right now and have fail-safes in place if the public outcry is too enormous. - David Apr 8, 07:54 1
  - It's more than just the always-on. If Sony is still free for multiplayer that will be a big deal for me. I get nothing for the cost of Live. - Krusty Apr 8, 08:00
