I figured it was only a matter of time before something along the lines of a price change occurred for such a lovely service like Xbox Live, so as of November 1st all retail and online sources of your subscription will increase in price. The price adjustments have been announced in US figures, but the increase should happen across the globe in similar amounts.
Monthly
Old – $7.99 New – $9.99
Three Month
Old – $19.99 New – $24.99
One Year
Old – $49.99 New – $59.99
All current memberships finish up as is so enjoy the deals while they last. Xbox Live goes on record to say that the increase in price reflects the market shift in prices for games in 2010, in comparison game pricing has increased over the past 8-10 years.
Xbox promises that the price increase will also reflect its quality of service and will continue to update and provide new and exciting ways to enjoy your experience. This service is definitely worth the price of a retail game on an annual rate, even from the beginning I felt as if I was getting my moneys worth while playing Halo 2!

Hmm.. doesn't really effect me since I already pay $60/year.. but I wonder if it will effect Canadian prices as well.

Hmm, i guess it was only a matter of time, although i don’t have to buy another card for another 9 months! also do they have a shelf life, as in do they expire after a while? ‘cos i might just buy another one now in order for next year….
William
and does anyone else have this problem where the text is in just one
line and goes behind all the ads and stuff so you can’t read it and
makes the text into just one giant long line?

You are the only one, the text is showing up fine for me, what browser are you using, I am using Firefox. Also, it may be worth it to pick up a Live card now, since they do not expire, as far as I know.
William
Ah, you were right, I was using IE and checked it on firefox and it’s back to normal! thanks! i might pick up a few cards then to avoid the price boost for a few years!

Glad I could help, and good plan, I also will be picking up a card or two for future years.
