Xbox Live Pricing To Go Up To $60 Per Year
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."
Hmm, the same company that produced Bill Gates somehow isn't making enough money, so it needs to raise its prices?
I guess they feel they've gotten enough people locked-in that they can start squeezing the juice out of them. It's why people like to choose an open internet over single vendor proprietary locked in platforms.
How dare Microsoft charge for hosting all those servers... they should do it for free!!! Profit? Expenses? Who care, they should make it free for me!!! If they don't make it free I wont give them my moneyz!!! **although if they make it free i sort of wont give them my money either**
