A $300 Xbox 720 will also be available, Thurrott said, though this model will require consumers commit to two years of Xbox Live gold at an expected price of $10 month.

the always online requirement and its OS is a variant of WIN. 8 is seriously going to make me wait on this unit. They have obviously not learned a thing about online DRM issues.

Who wouldn't get the $300 version? That seems like a steal

Yea it would be. You would come out ahead over 2 years vs buying the $500 model and 2 years of live but it probably has a way smaller hard drive or something.

Yea it is..if you do the math a $500 unit plus 2 years of gold service is 620.00...

A 300.00 unit wit 2 years of gold is 540.00 and the last 240.00 is spread out over 2 years...

GD people need to calm down and wait until the 21st.

If this guy is correct I guess you missed the part where he said it's not as draconian as people have in their heads.

Right, so when you sit down to play a game and all of sudden you lose internet due to service issues, you tell me you are going to be happy that you cant play a single damn game because your 720 cant connect?...

I thought gold was 10$ a month.

2 years=24 months
24x10=240

500+240=740$

Or am i missing something?

It has to or otherwise this is the dumbest pricing plan I've ever seen.

ETA: Just in case somebody hasn't gotten their dose of r/gaming today (yesterday)

Link to where it said this specifically?

We can make assumptions all day long about how we think it will work but that doesn't make them fact.

All will be known in less than a month. No need for to keep the knee jerk reactions up over what are still rumors at this point.
