Xbox 360 LIVE pricing exposed

By Conrad Quilty-Harper

PlanetXbox360.com have translated a french article on
XboxLiveFrance.com which listed a new Xbox LIVE pricing system via some scans of US Xbox LIVE promotional leaflets. There will be five packages available from purchase ranging from US$7.99 to US$69.99. Here's a rundown:

1 Month Gold Card – $7.99

3 Month Gold Card – $19.99

3 Month Premium Gold Card – $39.99

-Communicator Headset

-Live! Arcade game "Joust"

-$10 discount on game purchase

-100 XBL marketplace points

12 Month Gold Card – $59.99

12 Month Premium Gold Card – $69.99

-Communicator Headset

-Live! Arcade game "billiards"

-$20 discount on game purchase

-200 XBL marketplace points

Looks like the most expensive package is the best value. If you take advantage of the game discount and factor in the cost of the $19.99 headset, it's actually just $29.99 for a year's worth of Xbox LIVE.
