    Default Xbox Live Price Increase Coming November 1

    Aint that a *****?

    Xbox Live Price Increase Coming November 1
    Xbox Live Gold subscribers might want to renew before November 1, when the price of a yearly subscription to the service jumps $10 in North America.
    Microsoft is running a special deal right now for North American U.S. customers, allowing them to lock in a year at $39.99, $20 less than the new rate. For details, visit the deal website.

    According to a post on Major Nelson's blog, after eight years' of Xbox Live at the $50 a year price point, the service is finally seeing a price hike. Starting on November 1, a year Gold subscription to Xbox Live will run $59.99, versus the current price of $49.99. One month subscriptions will jump from $7.99 to $9.99, while three month subs will rise from $19.99 to $24.99.

    Lmfao, glad i own a PS3.

    Free online ftw

    My xbox 360 collects dust.
    Can i just add, it's not the price of xbox live, it's the fact your paying to use P2P connectivity in games. Theres more dedicated server PS3 games than there are on the xbox 360. Heck even the xbox flagship halo series uses P2P.

    You get nothing more on xbox live than you do on PSN, so it's the principal of the matter that they make you pay for in effect, nothing really.

    Remember, this is $60 a YEAR. This is NOT monthly. You would have to be outrageously poor to not be able to afford this.

    I think its more to offset the cost of some of the new features like ESPN 3, but then again people think everything is some great conspiracy.
