When the competitor gives free online with features that nearly match yours, you DON'T raise the fucking prices.

I mean I use Gold purely for MP, not any of this last.fm/twitter/facebook shit. Raising the price just means I will cancel it, sick of being ripped off. Time to cancel my subscription me thinks.

lowrider007 said:Was expecting it tbh, $10 is hardly a big deal imo, that's like an extra 20c a week, we'll all still continue to pick up live for way under the rrp anyway.
OldJadedGamer said:There is no defending $60 bucks for live... shit, there is no defending $50 bucks for live. Most of GAF paid $40 or below for their XBL accounts.

the reason for them not to do it is pretty obvious: for the vast majority of the userbase, xbox live gold is paid to play multiplayer. the end.HixxSAFC said:I wish Microsoft would bring out a different tier of pricing for those of us who don't use all the guff that Gold 'enables'.

deliciousbees on Twitter: Man, someone needs to teach angry posters on @majornelson's blog the concept of inflation. $50 in 2002 = $60.59 today.
@taswell: Hey, Microsoft has to offset the guaranteed loss on Kinect somehow!
