There is little benefit from Xbox One without a license fee.

Purchasing an Xbox One (which was recently unpacked and shown to an admiring gaming community) for $ 499 is low. For herself, she bears "thousands of dollars in costs." Most of its functions will not be available without paying a sixty-dollar monthly fee. Of course, without a cent and a year. The annual “gold subscription” of Xbox Live Gold will cost the user $ 59.99. Only in this way can a gamer get access to the most desired online features of a new gaming console.

Among these are not free features: Game DVR system, which allows you to automatically record clips from the gaming space and share them; video calls in Skype and OneGuide TV, which allows you to control the viewing of TV programs through a single interface.

Microsoft has previously resorted to limiting the use of their devices to those users who do not pay a monthly fee. On the Xbox 360, online multiplayer game modes and online video services (like Netflix and Hulu Plus) were only available to subscribers. The price of an Xbox Live Gold subscription has not increased since November 2010.

Sony chose the same methods. To play online on PlayStation 4 requires a PlayStation Plus subscription. Unfortunately, the power of the game console processor alone cannot make it attractive for a gamer. He needs additional features, for which he has to pay separately.
