Xbox.ign.com has put up an FAQ page about MS' upcoming Xbox Live online gaming service. One of the most amusting parts of the page is a graphic with a red arrow pointing to the Xbox's ethernet port that is labeled Xbox Live Goes Here . Just in case you weren't sure.

There is one interesting quote about pricing:

Pricing plans beyond the $49.99 for 12 months hasn't been revealed yet by Microsoft. The company is comfortable with a 9.95/month value for the service, but this hasn't been translated into any long term pricing.

Where the comfortable with a 9.95/month value quote comes from isn't stated, so don't bank on it.

There's also this slightly discouraging piece of information:

The gamertag is permanent but there's still the potential for specific in-game handles and nicknames if a company makes a game that supports it. You can sign up for another user ID but that means opening another Xbox Live account to go with it. If you have four Xbox gamers in the house and they each want their own XBL ID then somebody is going to have to spend that $49.99 for each of them.

Here's hoping that they somehow figure out a way to handle multiple gamers on a single Xbox in a single household without depending on game-specific implementations.
