Next Xbox expected launch in November,$499 or $299 with subscription
Paul Thurrott, who nailed the launch date of the console, is back with more information and seeing as he got it right the first time around, we have reason to believe his new information is as credible as the first wave of content. According to Paul, the next Xbox will launch in early November and will have a price of $499 or $299 with a monthly $10 subscription.
In addition to the above information, the console will have a Blu-ray drive and as previously expected will be based on the core of Windows 8.
The critical information above, if accurate, is the release and price as Microsoft typically holds this information close to the vest before letting the public know these two crucial pieces of information.
We fully expect Microsoft's next console to be a true media hub in the living room with a significant focus on content, as well as gaming. Seeing that Microsoft is building out its Windows 8 ecosystems with phones, tablets, and PCs, the Xbox is the missing link for the ecosystem.

What is with the 10$ dollar subscription. I hope it basically pays for gold so all accounts you make can get online for free

welp...this just pushed me over to the PS4 side. They already announced their service to stay free and the console to be cheaper than $350

ooh I'm confused to how the subscription price works. Would anyone who understands or currently uses a similar offer explain please? Such as how long the subscription must be for, and how you pay that subscription?
I'm assuming its like a phone, you buy the phone at a cheaper price with a two year contract and if you don't pay your monthly services maybe they suspend your online capabilities for the entire console.
