Jasoco Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I have the first free year of XBL and am wondering when they're gonna announce a price structure. I need to know before I get too attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 rumor has it the XBL will be 50 a year from now on. And as a cool side note - any subscription game like PSO will be free for the first 2 weeks so it can be tried out before commiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasoco Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 rumor has it the XBL will be 50 a year from now on. That's not too bad. That's only $4.17 a month. $0.96 a week. $0.14 a day. Less than a penny an hour. You don't wanna know how much it is per second. And as a cool side note - any subscription game like PSO will be free for the first 2 weeks so it can be tried out before commiting PSO as in PlayStation Online or PhantasyStar Online? Not that either matter to me. I don't own either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent X Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I think Internet play on video game systems is great, although it's clearly still in its developmental stages. I have the PlayStation 2 Network Adaptor, and I do enjoy the few online games I have for it. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 and Amplitude are my personal favorites, with good player interaction and the ability to download and upload user-created content. Both of those games are excellent offline, too! I think it'll be some time before console Internet gaming really takes off, when there's a large number of games spanning a wide variety of genres. For now, it's more of a diversion. Including Internet play doesn't make a bad game desirable, but it can make a great game even better (see the two examples above).

Jasoco Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Oh sorry, I meant Phantasy Star Online. And thanks for the cost breakdown How much is it per second again? Um.. I dunno. None of my calculators have enough numbers to break it down. I get 1.58548959918823e-6 as a result. Damn calculator. $50 / ((365 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes 8 60 seconds) = Seconds in a year) = Amount per second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustangarrett Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 the calculator in win XP does that seem correct... since its to the -6th power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasoco Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Must be that damn Intel floating point precision error that is not supposed to occur Which is funny because my computer doesn't have an Intel processor and I got the same number as him. (Albeit rounted up to the nearest 0.00000000000001th) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
