MS needs to just give it up and make XBL free. I'm surprised this hasn't happened already, what with their competition both offering online play for free.

People still pay for it.

Without XBL Microsoft would be making alot less money. [from xbox 360]

Yeah, and people would pay for oxygen, too, if they had no other choice.
When people pay for online services I think it makes MS, in this case, HAVE to support the service. Nintendo and Sony have their free services yet somehow the only that charges is the one on top by a sizeable margin.
psn is free becuz sony make game developers pay for the servers. XBl on the other hand , the servers are paid by microsoft then microsoft make people pay 4 it.
[quote name='Wolfpup']It doesn't come with a Netflix subscription....
Just FYI to the OP, the deal's dead. Back up to $50.
And to the people saying it's not a deal, Amazon's had it at $50 (except for this find) since they launched that code service a few months back.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='tim44']Netflix alone is worth the subscription.

I agree, this is still a pretty decent "deal". Some of their competitors charge nothing, but the service also isn't nearly as good, in my humble opinion.
