As if it wasn’t enough that game developers want to start charging extra for 2nd hand games (see previous post), and the Kinect has come out considerably more expensive than originally promised (especially here in the UK.) It turns out that Microsoft are putting up the cost of Xbox Live subscription.
According to Xbox Live’s Major Nelson the change is going to look as follows
| US | |
| Current
1M Gold: $7.99 3M Gold: $19.99 12M Gold: $49.99 |
Starting Nov 1, 2010
1M Gold: $9.99 |
| UK | |

1M Gold: 4.99 GBP |
Starting Nov 1, 2010
1M Gold: 5.99 GBP |
| Canada | |

So start saving guys as it seems that to carry on doing what we’ve always been doing is going to cost us more in the future.
