I saw it kicking around but didn't have details about the subscription model - figured it would be an extra cost/"freemium". You're right, you'll be charged extra after about a year after release. At least they're finally showing a reason for the extra cost for a Kinect.

EDIT: Wait, so this won't work at all upon release if you don't already have a gold subscription? And after the first year, you'd have to pay both subscriptions to keep it working. Interesting to see if that double monetization strategy works.

Sounds a bit naff, especially compared to something more tailored to a console experience like Wii Fit, but hey, it's free. Or at least, it is until December 2014, after which a "paid Xbox Fitness Pass subscription and an Xbox Live Gold membership" will be required. So a paid subscription on top of a paid subscription? Great.
