Microsoft’s console bundle available for $99 up front and a $15 monthly fee

Microsoft has released a subscription-based Xbox 360 bundle that delivers HD gaming thrills at a cheaper price. Well, sort of.

Available at 21 US-based Microsoft Stores, the 4GB Xbox/Kinect bundle costs $99 up front. Customers must also commit to a 24-month Xbox Live Gold subscription at $15 per month.

As Kotaku points out, that’s a total of $459, as opposed to $420 if you paid full price for the Xbox 360 console, Kinect and two years of Xbox Live Gold. So this deal is actually pricier in the long run.

Good idea? Terrible idea? Let us know in the comments below.
