Microsoft announces that the online gaming service has smashed through another milestone...
Hereâ??s a statistic for all you number fans â?“ somewhere in the world a new member is added to Xbox Live every 30 seconds. Whilst that is an impressive stat in itself, Microsoft has also confirmed that the number of subscribers to the online service has now broken through the 2 million mark â?“ and steadily growing.
â??Reaching the two million member milestone in such a short time speaks volumes about the depth and vibrancy of the Xbox Live community,â? said Robbie Bach, Senior Vice President of the Home and Entertainment Division and Chief Xbox Officer at Microsoft. â??This enormous growth is a true testament to the compelling content and engaging experiences enabled through Xbox Live today. The service is inspired by the creative power of the individual and fuelled by the passion of a worldwide community.â?
Microsoft also clarified some of the details to look forward to on Live when Xbox 360 launches later in the year:
- Multiple levels of service - To fit the unique needs and interests of each Xbox Live gamer, the Xbox Live Gold membership offers all of the Xbox Live Silver features as well as multiplayer online gaming, tournaments and participation in original programs such as â??Game with Fameâ? and other Prime Time activities. The Xbox Live Silver membership includes free basic features such as Gamer Profile, access to the Xbox Live Marketplace and voice chat and messaging.
- Gamercards - A quick summary of a playerâ??s Gamer Profile, this contains a playerâ??s Gamertag, Gamer Picture, Reputation, Gamerzone and personal motto.
- Gamerzone - Players can choose their style of social gaming and be seamlessly paired with others based on their preferences.
- An integrated message centre - Members can keep connected even when theyâ??re not online playing.
- Xbox Live Marketplace - This one-stop shop for all downloadable content include free content such as trailers and themes as well as full-featured premium content, such as racing cars and maps.
Finally, Microsoft also released one last stat â?“ there have so far been 20 million pieces of content has so far been downloaded. Weâ??ll have more news shortlyâ?¦

lol if this dumb a.ss move by microsoft actually happens (live annual subscription up to £80 a year) then considder the 360 100% dead, they should lower the cost not up it like they did with the arcade in september (was £130 now £160) and its all to do with the euro exchange only the in the UK we use pounds not sh.it.ty euros.
