He mentioned the github $5 plan however I always pays $7 each month since the beginning. I checked github pricing[1] and it's showing the micro plan starts at $7/mo. Is there a lower plan by buying in bulk, paying annually or else?

Netflix is not at $5 but almost there. So is Hulu+. Does the Xbox music have subscription or is it free?

If you get an student discount which is $7 off every month for 2 years, and buy a $12 plan, you pay $5. At least that was the case for me, maybe he forgot to mention. I'm not sure.

The current incarnation of XBox music, the Zune service, is only 10 bucks a month, but no free option.

Last.fm also runs on XBOX very well and widely used.

He's updated it to say:

* I have a $7 educational discount and I buy $12 plan on GitHub, normally they don’t offer a $5 plan.

Also with Windows 8 and Windows RT devices Xbox music will have a free ad supported version.
