Maybe have it so that if you sign a contract for 3 years or something then you get a year of premium content for free? Or six months? But then again, this would only work if free content is actually available on the part of 3rd parties.

Meaning, after you buy the starter kit, you get the one year without additional fees.

You know what I mean...

Why is the starter kit required? To get the headset into every Xbox owner's hands? Or is it just a way for everyone to pay for their first year subscription?

so wait people are saying that the Xbox live is better because you dont have to buy a 40 dollar add on

BUT You have to buy a 50 some odd dollar starter kit

am i the only one that sees it as being exactly the same

if all you play say are first party sony games or first party Nintendo games online then once you buy the 40 dollar add on your set and never spend another cent and its cheaper than MS's 50 dollar "starter kit"

and hell if you buy socom you get a headset for your PS2

Well, I was already extremly unimpressed with XBLive.. and now I am even more unimpressed. Simply put: I think it stinks.

I think broadband only is terrible (and stupid), I think voice chat is horrible, I think subscriptions and "starter kits" suck.. and now this.. a way to nickle and dime you even more? No thanks.
