What is the most fair and reasonable Cloud Gaming hourly bundle pricing?

So according to the blog post, you will be able to purchase bundles of hours that won't expire until used. And no Gamepass subscription required for Cloud Gaming.

It costs roughly nickel an hour, or $5 per 100 hours to run xCloud. If they were to use Series X profiles or get next gen Helix Magnus based hardware, those costs can increase 50-100%, to $10 per 100 hours.

So based on that, what do you think is the most fair pricing for the standalone XBOX Cloud Gaming service?

My prediction/wish is the following:

10 hours for $3

25 hours for $5

50 hours for $10

100 hours for $15

150 hours for $20
