Xbox Live To Be Launched This Year

Tech 2.0 has an interview with Mohit Anand, Country Manager India for Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division, who says that MS plans to launch xBox Live in India within this calendar year. Sales of the xBox 360 have beaten expectations, and Anand also mentions that retailers selling the xBox on eBay’s Microsoft Store give free shipping across India. I couldn’t find any here. He adds that the budget has not affected price of consoles, and any lowering of duties would have been passed on to consumers. More in the interview, here.
The rumour was that Microsoft is looking at a September 2007 launch for xBox Live, but we’ve received no response (neither a confirmation nor a denial) from Microsoft PR regarding that.
