Microsoft raising Xbox Live subscription prices
From Destructoid.
Microsoft has today announced that, as of November 1, 2010, it will be raising the price of Xbox Live subscriptions in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom.
In the United States, twelve months of Xbox Live Gold will now cost $59.99 instead of $49.99. A three-month subscription will cost $24.99 instead of $19.99, while one month will cost $9.99 as opposed to $7.99. In the UK, a month will cost 5.99GPB, in Canada it'll be $9.99CAD and in Mexico, twelve months is listed at 599 Pesos.
There's been no word on twelve-month subscriptions for the UK yet. We'll update if there's any more on regional pricing changes.
So there you have it. Xbox Live now costs more. I'd comment on this, but I have a load of cheap subscriptions to go stock up on.
It's not that much more but I don't see why they need to raise subscription fees. And I'll make sure to buy 2-3 12 cards from amazon before November.

If they up the price in the UK for 12 months Live subscription then it will cost more than the games.

Re: Microsoft raising Xbox Live subscription prices
Well I mean its not a very big change, but as everyone knows, Microsoft is a big money grabbing company. They'll increase the price on anything if they have to, even if its not reasonable. Don't say nobody saw this coming, cause I sure as hell did.

There was a lot of hype around my school that Microsoft were making Live free to everyone but I doubt that's gonna happen.

I meant in the UK if they charge an extra £10 like they did in the US it will be
New game: £40
One year: £50
New game: £40
One year: £50

Re: Microsoft raising Xbox Live subscription prices
Say you put 5 cards on at the same time your set for five years so if he puts them all on at once it won't matter. The only problem is if you buy a load of them you may not have your 360 the year after you might buy a new console then you could have wasted a lot of money.

Re: Microsoft raising Xbox Live subscription prices
Omg I'm not paying $10 more to get a year card. These are the kind of business ideas that, depending on how people think, instead of making more money it pushes enough people away to probably make 5% less income. Shame on you Microsoft.

Re: Microsoft raising Xbox Live subscription prices
I mean, it's only ten bucks more. Not that big a deal, what's pissing me off that they had the balls to even do this on top of bringing out shovelware this holiday (Kinect). It's shit and gimmicky and if you plan on buying it, you're part of the problem. Sure it could be great but name one title that looks like an actual game and not something they threw together for the sake of having a pool of games at launch.

Re: Microsoft raising Xbox Live subscription prices
The only game that actually looked like a decent game to me for Kinect was the Star Wars game I mean the gameplay looked terrible but it seems like it would be fun using the lightsabre.

Re: Microsoft raising Xbox Live subscription prices
Ehh not a big deal. Buy a 1 year for $60 then save $5 a month until you renew it
