If they do up the prices then its kerching all round the boardroom at microsoft. Its like the old saying goes. Once your addicted to coca cola, pepsi will just not do.

They raise the prices every year on so many other things, this entire industry is being ruined by greedy execs that don't give two shits about the games, just the money they can make. Just look at the xbl arcade games for an example, a few years ago they were 400 points for almost all of them, with a rare 800 point game, now they're all 800-1200. Between MS and all the online passes for withheld content we're being nickle and dimed to death, many times it's not even worth buying a used game these days because you'll need another $10-15 to spend on points just to get the things purposely separated from the game for these companies to get a cut from used games, it's sickening. I'm almost at the point where it's not worth the hassle anymore, it's tempting to just save up the cash I spend on games in year and buy a good gaming pc and get my games for free.
M$ -.- whywhywhy? M$ has so much Money really Hungry Money Pigzz
Interesting conclusion, since at another site it was positioned that Microsoft was contemplating offering XBL "gold" for free. Now we know that Microsoft doesn't do anything for free....they will most likely supplement the XBL revenue stream by increasing the fee for some other service(s). Stay tuned! This indeed is an interesting "new" marketing strategy.















Most of you will not like me for this lol, but Idk. Im kinda happy for the price raise. I think it should be $200 a year if it gonna keep the kids off Xbox live. I hate when I'm playing gears of war 3 and a little bastard talking shit to me and shouting out racist slurs. Bad enough I hear it from the grown folks and then hear it from the kids. Or keep the price at $60 and have a whole entire section of Xbox live for people over the age of 30 and if u are not a member of that section, I will never get connected to you to play. And they could charge a bit more for the membership. I don't hate kids, as a matter of fact I love kids. It's just that the kids on xbl is unsupervised and act obnoxious.
