The new Xbox website already features the updated lingo, but the actual Xbox 360 console dashboard will not reflect the new wording until it is updated sometime this fall, reports JPS. The Silver Membership was already Microsoft’s free Xbox Live account and nothing about it will change except the name. The new Xbox website already features the updated lingo, but the actual Xbox 360 console dashboard will not reflect the new wording until it is updated sometime this fall, reports JPS. By using the word “Free,” Microsoft hopes to encourage more account activations and lessen confusion about Live’s availability. Unlike the Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3, a paid subscription is required to fully utilize the Xbox 360’s online features. Microsoft is likely trying to pre-counter a potential backlash when it raises the subscription price on Nov. 1. News-Source: www.digitaltrends.com |
