I was just at the store trying to buy a 12 month xbox live card and the guy working there said that they can't sell them anymore because xbox live is becoming free! :D

I really don't think there's any truth to this.

As nice as that would be, I seriously doubt it. Especially with features like Netflix etc.

Besides, why would they stop charging for Gold when Sony is about to start charging for PSN?

Maybe he was pulling your chain, or maybe he didn't know what he was talking about.

Not much proof that it's a 'confirmed MS isn't going to charge for gold anymore', from one sales rep.

Haven't seen any articles or other form of confirmation from anyone else that it's true. If it was, it would be all over the place.

I may actually use my 360 if this is true.

Perhaps it's just the 'Gold' multilayer component that is going free (like it should have always been) and all the MS points will only be available for purchases of DLC, games etc.

I doubt it will become free anytime soon, besides, I just got an email stating I should add another subscription because mine is due to expire March 4th. Doubt they'd encourage you to buy a subscription if its going free.

As much as everyone would love it, best not to spread false hope. :(
