However, we do want to thank our loyal members and give you the opportunity to lock in your current price with an additional discount, so now would be a good time to renew your subscription.
Again, the only subscription packages impacted are those mentioned above. For instance, the 12m UK Price? Not affected since it is not mentioned above.
Edit: You can sign in and hit this page on Xbox.com to find out when your Xbox LIVE subscription expires

Will this entice more people to pick up a PS3 for its free online gaming?

With the iPhone 4 and Android phones, particularly the Droid X, upcoming Droid 2, Galaxy S and EVO, making waves in the gaming department due to increased processor power and memory enhancements, it was only a matter of time before Microsoft decided to jump on the bandwagon with their new Windows Phone 7.
Though the official specs of the Windows Phone 7 have not been released yet, rumors state that it will be equipped with the Qualcomm 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor, 1 GB of on-board RAM, 1 GB of internal storage and up to 32 GB of external storage. It will also feature a AMOLED 4.5" multi-touch screen with a resolution of 1200x800; and will support both 1080p HD video playback and 720p HD video recording with a HDMI output, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and 4G connectivity, headphone jack and 1,800 mAh battery. A dual-LED flash 8 MP camera is also rumored. Its Windows 7 operating system is going to be an overhauled version of the same operating system the current Zune HD uses. Again, though, these are rumors, and are obviously subject to change. Microsoft has kept the "true" specs under wraps quite well, with the "reviews" found on YouTube and the like, with the actual phone in the reviewer's hands, as being nothing more than prototypes with inferior hardware. The current name of the upcoming Windows Phone 7 is the HTC HD3, which is again, subject to change.
The Windows Phone 7 will sync directly with all of Google's software, and Microsoft's current hardware. It will also directly sync with Facebook, Twitter, Windows Live, Exchange and Gmail, among others. Everything is integrated in hubs and things such as photo organizing can be done seamlessly through whichever venue you so choose, be it Facebook, Exchange, or any other picture gallery hosting outlets.
Additionally, the gaming hub will integrate the Windows Phone 7 directly to the Xbox 360 and its upcoming add-on, Kinect. With this new feature, the end-user will be able to browse achievements, chat through Xbox Live, and even play specific mobile games with others using the Windows Phone 7.
Its music and movies hub will be just like the Zune's, with a marketplace available right on the device to download new music. Microsoft is also in talks with Pandora that will integrate their music software right into the phone itself so the Zune player on the phone can tap right into Pandora's music streaming service.
The phone's marketplace hub has been kept a tight secret, and apparently will be nothing like the iPhone App Store or the Android Marketplace.
The Office hub will bring all the things we've come to love from Microsoft Office to the Windows Phone 7 including new features specific for mobile devices.
In conclusion, the Windows Phone 7 will be the first smartphone (also called a superphone) that will allow real-time gaming over the Live network with other Windows Phone 7 users. Special achievements have also been hinted at that will only be able to be unlocked with a Windows Phone 7. That is, you will be able to load up a game on your Xbox (that will be linked to your Windows Phone 7), and play that game and unlock special achievements.
More information, and a short video, can be found here.

The rampaging VI has already attacked three other Cerberus bases, controlling any technology it finds in an attempt to break free–and unleashing Geth across the planet. Unless Shepard can infiltrate the VI's fortress and shut it down, this homicidal intelligence will beam itself-off planet and wreak havoc on other systems. The action unfolds over five new level areas, with two new achievements.
