Microsof’t Xbox 360 has long been applauded for its top notch online service appropriately dubbed Xbox Live. While this service requires users to pay a subscription fee, Microsoft prides themselves in offering consumers a grade-A experience. Not only that, but thanks to some deals from retailers, the subscription fee isn’t half bad.

In fact, Walmart has just announced today that they will be offering 1-year of Xbox Live plus a game of your choice for $81. Now you’re probably assuming you only get to choose from a line up of crappy games, but that’s not the case. Included in the line up of games that qualify for this deal include Halo: Reach, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, just to name a few.

This is a great deal as a 1-year Xbox Live subscription usually goes for $60 alongside these games which go for $60 as well.

Check out the deal here.

It seems like Modern Warfare 2 only just came out but that hasn’t stopped Activision and Treyarch from working on the next title. In fact, Activision exec Mike Griffith has recently said that this holiday season we will see the release of Call of Duty 7. However, there were absolutely no details given about what the game will contain.

MW2 addicts need not worry about being abandoned as Activision and Infinity Ward will still be supporting the game with new marketing efforts and, of course, loads of DLC.

Now, let the speculation over where CoD 7 will take place begin! Vietnam, anyone?
