"Buying a home video game console may soon become a lot more like buying a cell phone, according to a new report suggesting Microsoft is planning to offer a subsidized, $99 bundle including a 4GB Xbox 360 and Kinect sensor to anyone who commits to two years of a new, $15 monthly online service package.

According to a report from The Verge, which cites unnamed sources, the new subsidized bundle will be available "as early as next week" in Microsoft's retail stores. The $15 monthly subscription would reportedly include all the online game play features of a current Xbox Live Gold subscription, alongside unspecified additional content from cable or live sports video providers."

I'm wondering, what are your thoughts on this possibility? Would you sign up for a two year commitment to get a "cheaper" Xbox?

I say, if it gets the system out to a broader audience, I'm all for it.

That's really good idea. Not everyone has the initial cash to outlay on a 360. How anyone can run a 4GB 360 I have no idea. LOL

I like the idea, seems a good thing. As you say griz if it gets more people online then excellent.
