Same price and XBLG? So itll be $5 a month instead of $10?

Also, they're deleting the name Xbox Live? That's a terrible decision if true.

Microsoft dropped "Live" branding from everything, Xbox was the only major service still using it. Makes sense.

Much like most new Apple products are called "Apple Something" rather than "iSomething"

Having both Live and GamePass is confusing, and GP has the better brand right now. Ask people about GamePass, and they love it. Ask people about Live, and they’re still grumpy that MS made them pay to play Halo 2 and 3 online.
