Next Xbox expected launch in November,$499 or $299 with subscription
Paul Thurrott, who nailed the launch date of the console, is back with more information and seeing as he got it right the first time around, we have reason to believe his new information is as credible as the first wave of content. According to Paul, the next Xbox will launch in early November and will have a price of $499 or $299 with a monthly $10 subscription.
In addition to the above information, the console will have a Blu-ray drive and as previously expected will be based on the core of Windows 8.
The critical information above, if accurate, is the release and price as Microsoft typically holds this information close to the vest before letting the public know these two crucial pieces of information.
We fully expect Microsoft's next console to be a true media hub in the living room with a significant focus on content, as well as gaming. Seeing that Microsoft is building out its Windows 8 ecosystems with phones, tablets, and PCs, the Xbox is the missing link for the ecosystem.

Am I the only one who noticed the ten dollars a month for the subscription? Either live is free, or the subscription doesnt come with xbox live and will have to be purchased seperately. Hopefully it's free.

It's $100 less than the PS3 at launch. I'll pass and hold onto the current gen for some good extra years. Same thing I did when the 360 came out and I was still on PS2. I didn't even get Xbox until 4 years later.

I can almost guarantee not a lot of people will buy this on the release date considering the somewhat ridiculous pricing of it. The Xbox 360 will still be populated quite well for years after this, that is if they do not shut it down.
