    Default How bad does MS wanna kick Sony's a**?? Check it out.

    For those of you may have missed this little blurb in OXM #11, or don't subscribe...

    "SPICING UP XBOX LIVE.

    Microsoft chairman Bill Gates is pushing to get broadband access prices down to $20 or $25 a month as quickly as possible. To do this, the Big M may go as far as essentially subsidizing broadband access for consumers. Some analysts estimate the company could spend up to $3 billion on broadband projects in the nest two years."

    Hows that for commitment.

    That would be great. I hope the prices do lower. I pay 30 bucks for it now and I could stand to save a little money.

    I currently pay 29.95 for Cable and 14.95 for DSL. I find broadband really affordable in Montreal.

    I know what you mean rudedogX. That's why I just can't wait for Bill gates to drop the price. Than I could put the money I save towards a new game.

    Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience. Time is the best teacher; unfortunately it kills all its students. My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right. Nothing is fool proof. Fools are too inventive

    I think MS should work on getting broadband to every part of the nation rather than lowering the price for those who already have it. I for one would pay up to $80 a month for BB, but the sad thing is, BB isn't availible in this friggin small town.

    You sure? Have you tried a satellite TV provider like Dish or Direct TV? They don't care where you live? You don't have Time Warner Cable there either? I thought they had monopolized cable everywhere.....?
