Microsoft is about to release a new Xbox 360 + Kinect bundle for no more than $99.
This price is subsidized however by a two years Xbox LIVE mandatory subscription, in a pricing model similar to the one employed by phone operators.
Purchasers of the new bundle will have to pay a monthly Xbox LIVE subscription fee of $15 for the contract’s term (2 years), and they have to pay an early termination fee if they wish to cancel the contract before that.
The Xbox LIVE subscription includes all Xbox LIVE Gold membership perks in addition to some streaming content (yet unspecified).
The bundle hasn’t been confirmed officially yet by Microsoft.
