A new console would still mean using XBL though, so it could be good for the hard core gamers, providing the price was appropriate for the commitment to stick with it for 2 years. (that means cheap enough!).

I see no reason to pay for 2 years subscription if the cost of it would be equivelent to 2 x 1 years subscription.
It would have to be considerably reduced or include at a considerable reduction a suetable new game.

If I had the money available I think that I would easily sign up for another 2 years, however only if its worth me doing so & I could not get it cheaper by using the Amazon type offers that occur reguraly.

(I have several spelling mistakes here spelt wrong but IESpell says its right? any suggestions).
