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.

311 I still dislike that monthly subscription, but it's worth it
The only problem is that the monthly subscription is only like $6 but if you get this subscription it is about $10 a month, so it is way cheeper to just pay for the full console and get live afterward.

It's ridiculous that they're still going to charge for online capabilities. I honestly think that you shouldn't have to pay for the ability to play your games with your friends online.

Mortar I think that it is a good idea that the next-gen Xbox is being released this year, although it is somewhat annoying that it is to be released after some spectacular games (GTA V/Call of Duty: Ghosts ect). As for the price stated, that is more or less what I expected, but the subscription fee appears to be somewhat expensive compared to current XBL Membership.
Hopefully it's only that price for the first two years as part of the deal to get the xbox cheaper. If not it will be double the current price.
