    Anyone else get the LIVE email?

    Damn microsoft is raising the Live subscription fees on Nov 1st...greedy bastards.


    1-Month Gold Subscription $7.99 to $9.99
    3-Month Gold Subscription $19.99 to $24.99
    12-Month Gold Subscription $49.99 to $59.99

    The email looks legit and if you scroll down the email they're offering a "price lock" until Oct 31st...39.99 for a 12 month. In the fine print it says it doesn't lock shit though. After the 12 months it'll renew at the then current price...fuckers. So pretty much they're forcing everyone to renew early and the 3 month guys to buy a 12 month...shit why not it's only $15 more.

    Least they're finally adding ESPN

    wtf r u talking about

    your post gives no context of what this subscription is even for, only that it's provided by microsoft and is called "LIVE" w/etf that means.

    premium email? online TV? wtf r u talking about

    So them adding features doesn't justify them upping the price?

    Xbox Live the service for playing games online and access to the other online content.

    He knows what i'm talking aboot he's just being Iroc

    And hell no adding some content doesn't justify the price hike...most of the content will probably be fee based like on-demand ESPN pay per view crap. I think they're just shooting themselves in the foot and giving more ammo for the PS3 fanboys.

    Yea me too, I mainly use it to stream netflix anyway but any blu-ray can do that now for free. Anyone know if you can still download the on-demand games without a gold membership?

    I had my account taken away for using a trainer someone else made and hacking shit out of cod, and had to get a new one. Therefore, I'm cooler than you.

    mad?

    • Video Kinect allows you to chat with family and friends on the big screen, right from the comfort of your living room—no headset or controller required.*
    • With Hulu Plus on Xbox LIVE you will be able to enjoy a customized Hulu Plus experience that will include Kinect navigation and Xbox LIVE Parties*
    Besides launching the new features and titles, we will also be increasing the price of Gold membership on November 1, 2010. The new prices are as follows:

    Has't the 1 year always been $59.99? IDK I have mine on auto pay. Although it is kinda lame if there raising the price $60 is still a deal for the hours and hours of game play you get.
