While I still do fully believe that it is just a flaw, I do wonder if Microsoft doesn't actually profit from it.

Sure, the cost of the shipping, the repair, and the 1 month free subscription would make you think that they actually lose money, but the money maker is actually in the free subscription. By offering one month free, they can entice new gamers into subscribing, which could ultimately result in a profit for Microsoft.

I disagree with that. The majority of Xbox gamers already subscribe to Xbox LIVE.

Sure you may be correct to some extent, but that's only really a minority of people. It really depends on the individual customer; what games they have, their willingness to play other people, as well as there willingness to pay a subscription fee.

I don't think it is as much as a money making ploy as it is a "please don't hate us and stop using our services" ploy.
