  If only Sony did the same eh? You would be due a truckload of PS3 consoles by now.

Thursday 15th November 2012 09:18 GMT I think so I am?

I remember the days when I played Rainbow 6 Live Demo when Xbox live first came out, I'm just annoyed I didn't migrate my old xbox live account when it moved to the 360 :(

Calculation

How much would 10 years of Live (Gold) cost - more than the free XBOX ?
