Announced
at E3, Xbox Music is Microsoft’s (MSFT) own
subscription-based music service that will
rival the likes of Spotify. A new online leak for an update to the Xbox
360′s dashboard
in the U.K. has prematurely revealed that Xbox Music will be priced
at £8.99 for a monthly pass and £89.90 for an annual pass. It’s
speculated that Microsoft will
launch Xbox Music in the
U.S. with the same prices as its current Zune Music Pass service: $10 per month
or $100 for a yearly pass. Another leak from NeoGAF also
suggests that a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Music will also launch
alongside the subscription
service that will allow cross-platform playlist syncing between Xbox 360, Windows
8 PCs and Windows
Phone 8 smartphones. Xbox Music is slated for
a launch this fall and will replace Zune Music Pass. Microsoft says the service
will have a library of 30 million tracks.
