Thank god for copy and paste, basically nothing changes except new subscribers can pay £60 for Xbox Live and get a copy of PGR2 bundled in.
Microsoft announces a new Xbox Live starter package and subscription renewal options for the online gaming service in Europe.
Microsoft has today announced that it will release a new special edition Xbox Live starter kit in Europe later this month, and has also confirmed the pricing for both monthly and annual subscription renewals. Xbox Live is currently enjoyed by around 100,000 gamers in Europe, where the service launched on March 14 last year. In addition to the standard £39.99 (US$73) Xbox Live starter kit, from the end of this month newcomers to Xbox Live will have the option to purchase a special edition starter pack for £59.99 (US$110) that also includes a copy of Project Gotham Racing 2. Both of the packs include a one-year subscription, and an Xbox Live communicator headset.
For existing Xbox Live players, Microsoft has confirmed that both monthly and annual subscription renewals will be available, priced at £4.99 (US$9) and £39.99 (US$73) respectively. Alternatively, existing subscribers have the option to purchase a second starter kit for the same price as an annual subscription, use the enclosed subscription code on their existing account so that they retain their gamertag and stats, and gain an extra communicator headset.
"We're committed to creating multiple entry points to Xbox Live that suit every budget and preference, and this new Starter Kit package is a great way for gamers to get in and start building their legend on Xbox Live," said Michel Cassius, senior director, Xbox platform and marketing. "And the renewal options make it easy to continue making friends and competing with rivals online. We've listened to gamers when developing these offers, and will be announcing further initiatives in the coming months to encourage even more gamers to join the growing Live community."

Paying for D/L content is damn cheek as well. Woo, what brilliant, er, changes, as far as I can tell....
And, not that I care, but I thought Halo 2 was for the 'anniversary' of Live?
HA!

No you haven't, you've changed practically nothing and admitted to the public that maybe PGR2 didn't do as well as you were hoping.
If you really listened to the public then you'd ban people who use Action Replay, from using the service. You'd also bring down the stupidly inflated price of those cheapy headsets and start releasing a hell of a lot more downloadable content.
That would be just a start as well.

Great! now all they gotta do is release some worthwhile games between now and Halo 2, so I actually have reason to reknew my subscription.
