According to internet rumours a new tier of Xbox Live membership is on the cards in the form of VIP membership which supposedly allows for a higher level of service. If true, then the current Silver and Gold memberships would no doubt be revised.
Apparently Xbox Live VIP subscribers will be able to get online storage for their content, extra matchmaking options, better connectivity and special invitation options to Silver subscribers.
What's also interesting to ponder is the suggestion that free online play like Sony's PSN could become standard. Rumours are rumours, but if there's some truth in all of this then we may possibly hear something at E3 09.
