Xbox One has free, ad-supported Xbox Music streaming

UPDATE: Or not - Microsoft admits mistake.

UPDATE: Xbox One will not have free, ad-supported Xbox Music streaming after all, the company has now said.

Microsoft exec Albert Penello has admitted on Twitter he was mistaken over the issue. Ad-supported Xbox Music streaming is not supported on the console at all.

Xbox One owners will get 15 free song plays on their console and then must buy a Xbox Music Pass to listen further, he explained.

I used my 30 day trial. Was ok. The app stopped working after iOS 6 though.

I'd never pay a monthly fee to listen to music.

Xbox:the future of microtransactions

Next thing u know, it's gonna be a few to turn on your console

Gonna have to buy a set of points and its gonna be some odd ass number each time u turn on your console

- you have used 33 console points. The next console start requires you purchase 29 more or face system lockout due to system negligence-

Yep,

I can imagine that and Xbox fanboys will make some excuse like

"It cost to run servers and provide a good media experience bro"

Ms points are history. This thread has nothing to do with micro transactions.

Ms points

Microtransactions

Taxing your loving fan base for everything possible

All the sane shit to me

Micro transactions exist on most if not all platforms these days. MS points don't exist anymore.

So, just like Sony's Music Unlimited basically with the updated info, except with a better trial.

XB1 can also play CD's, stream your entire, personal music library, or snap in music apps while gaming. I don't believe PS4 can do any of these things?

Things PS3 could do that Xbots claimed were irrelevant and had nothing to do with the "gaming experience"

Yup.. only games online that are free are f2p games

 

[earth two superman]

And all those other services, hulu Netflix etc. I dont think you need to pay to acces those. Or even access the PSN store I think.

 

[John_Blazini]

but niggas who stan for PS dont care about all those apps anyways its all about gaming ... you pay to play online yes?

 

[earth two superman]

Well no, because Im still on PS3, will be for a good while and so far thats still free to play online. I pay for Ps+, but if XBL was giving away the stuff that PS+ gave the PS3 and will give the PS4, I don't think anyone would be complaining.
