Nearly one year ago, Pachter predicted this. Only, he predicted the price would go up towards $100 a year.

We still may see a Platinum tier.

I agree with the tiers idea, I'm never going to use my xbox for those features. I bought my xbox to do one thing, play games and that's it. I'm not familiar with all of the features but I think most of them I can experience by either turning on my TV or going on my computer. So I really have no need for them on my xbox.

LOL PK

So, I thought I'd take advantage of the 40% off sale running right now. Pretty decent deal. Yeah, now I realize I'm currently paid through until September 2012. lol, I should remember this when the next deal comes by so I don't jump on it too.
