Xbox Live Raise Prices
Come 1st November - xbox gamers be prepared to pay more for your live subscription. From your regular $50 - you will have to pay up to $60 then. The prices of one- and six-month subscriptions will also increase, as will certain subscription plans in Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom.
The fee increase comes as “no surprise” to Electronic Entertainment Design and Research analyst Jesse Divnich.
“When originally launched in 2002, a Gold subscription cost the same as an AAA video game, ($50)” he said in an email. “When taking into account for inflation… and the additional services available to Gold subscribers in 2010, such as ESPN, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Last.fm and Video Kinect, a $10 price increase still represents an incredible value to consumers.”
