(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); If Michael Pachter pins this forecast of his right, then we just might see an Xbox Live costing US$ 100 per year for Gold membership in the next couple of years.

In a video discussion at GTTV, Pachter gave out his bold prediction/ opinion/ analysis:

You can't hook a guy into Xbox Live Gold if he's playing on a PC... that's the other problem - you really want to hook every gamer who has a 360, you want them to buy all their games on 360, play everything multiplayer, pay your 50 bucks a year so that, in a couple of years, it's a 100 bucks a year. And that's going up, we all know that.. it's a profit deal.

Will you be signing up still if it does balloon to a hundred bucks?

let's also keep in mind this is just an analysts prediction. after november xbox has already started to lose a share of sales to the ps3 so the same guy is predicting another 360 price drop. i dont see how he can reasonably predict both that would just be microsoft putting its own foot in its mouth - hey buy our xbox cheaper but pay more for live...makes no sense to me

id just go to psn so hahaha im sure they would lose alot of buisness by doing this i know im not paying that much for it.

i got told live was going free after xmas aswell =[
