To sum up the important stuff regarding XBL:

There will be two versions of Xbox Live. Silver is free (everyone gets it), and Gold is a paid subscription, like the current XBL. It looks like Xbox Live will be free on the weekends for everyone; Gold members will get it all the time, obviously. Current Xbox Live accounts will carry over to the 360 and become Gold Xbox Live accounts. Both Gold and Silver members will be able to download demos, trailers, and other content through XBL.

This info seems pretty legit, and some insiders have confirmed that this is indeed a real leak. At this rate, you have to wonder if Microsoft will have anything left to reveal at the MTV unveiling on May 12.

To me it seems like there is still potential in the old ones, at least in the X-Box. I'll try and hold off any excitement for a while but I know there is going to be a title that will be a "must have" and I will have to buy one of these damn things. What to do with the old X-Box? Maybe I will make it a Media Extender somehow.
