Xbox Live Pricing To Go Up To $60 Per Year

Posted by Soulskill on from the nickles-and-dimes dept.

donniebaseball23 writes "Microsoft has raised the annual price of Xbox Live Gold to $60, which is a price hike of $10. The new price goes into effect on November 1, but gamers can lock in the current Xbox Live price by renewing now. EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich is not surprised by the move, nor does he think it will really have much impact on the Xbox momentum."

    Although they did try to address this with a 50%+ failure rate in the first year...
