Well i hate to be the bearer of bad news but looks like xbl prices are going up :/

Don't know about 12 months yet...



Well, this is sad and unexpected: Microsoft's Major Nelson just announced that Xbox Live Gold will be getting more expensive in the US, UK, Canada, and Mexico starting November 1. A single month will go from $7.99 to $9.99, three months will go from $19.99 to $24.99, and the yearly sub will now be $59.99, up from $49.99....

Microsoft are money grabbing bastards. Its expensive enough as it is without those cunts putting up the prices, I dont get it, why cant it be free like on the PS3 ? Stupid fucking bastards.

Put it This way. If Xbox Live was Free, it would be the definition of SHIT like PSN. you wouldn't be able to do anything like cross game chat, party chat, MSN, Reputation Rating, Facebook, and Twitter. This all costs Money and if they didnt charge, all these features would be gone and will be as boring as PSN.

OH NO NOT AN EXTRA 10$ lols its been the same price for like 4yrs its not much of a punch
