Microsoft announced that Xbox Live surpassed one million subscribers last
week—and in record time. Live reached the milestone three times faster than other significant
subscriber-based services, including HBO and AOL. Robbie Bach, Sen. VP of the Home & Ent. Division and Chief
Xbox Officer boasts, "Consumers are clearly choosing Xbox Live online video games as the new digital
entertainment nirvana." I don't know if we'd go as far as to claim Live is your ticket to freedom from
attachment and an end to suffering, but it's certainly a damn good time. And you can bet Microsoft is
anticipating numbers to skyrocket even further this fall with EA jumping on board, and need I mention… Halo
2. Check out the link below for some compelling statistics.
