How much will online gaming cost?
The costs of online gaming depend on many factors. If you include the cost of the computer or console you want to play on and your Internet connection, it can be expensive to get started. If you already have a console or computer connected to the Internet, then your only additional costs are game related. Most online games have two costs associated with them: the initial purchase price and the monthly subscription. Monthly gaming fees vary greatly, but you can expect to pay about $10 a game per month. With Xbox Live, all games are managed on the same Microsoft-provided server and the first year’s subscription is free with the purchase of Xbox Live. After that year you will pay a monthly fee that will probably encompass all the games on the system. Expect to spend at least $200 to get started from nothing and about $10 a month per game to play once you have everything you need.
