Xbox Live to add free-to-play games?

article published on 24 June, 2011

According to new reports, free-to-play games are headed to Xbox Live. Microsoft has been rumored to be speaking with developers for some time on adding F2P titles, as well as a micro-transaction service which would allow for quick in-game purchase.

Wait a minute... Xbox Live? Not that I have an Xbox, which, I know - makes it a [Russ speaking out of turn] situation, but you have to 'pay' for that, right? So what part of "free to play" is the alluring sell here? I'm open to correction here, but I'm also feeling like a cat getting rubbed the wrong direction here.

The reason based behind my questioning this sales campaign is due to my kids constant harassment for me to purchase them Live cards. That being the case, what's the purpose? Other than server access for interactive play; I always thought there was access to 'some' games, flash style & the likes. I suppose that's what I get for thinking

Just quick $ easies from the correction squad if you would please.
