No doubt as part of the firm’s upcoming online European assault, Microsoft’s Xbox wing today announced that, before its Xbox Live system has even launched in Europe, it has already attracted a staggering 350,000 paying subscribers.
Paying a mere $49 each for a year’s subscription and a swanky headset which makes a man sound like a girl, it seems the deal has proved irresistible to the broadband-enabled gamers of North America.
Expect a very big song and dance on the run up to Xbox Live’s European launch, scheduled for March 14.
