Subject: Microsoft's Xbox Live To Go Online November 15th
News:
Well, nearly a year after Microsoft's release of the Xbox console system, it looks as if they have finally nailed down a target date for the launching of Xbox Live, their online gaming environment for Xbox owners. For $50, owners will get the Xbox Live start kit which includes a headset microphone, a one-year subscription to the service, and of course the software needed to connect the Xbox into an existing broadband (Cable, DSL, etc.) connection. This should bring an interesting development to the console market, especially with Sony's annoucement of their August 27th release of their own network adapter to allow PS2 owners to plug into their own broadband links.
