I got an email from XBL informing me of the price increase, but by renewing now (even though I renewed for a year in July), I saved $10 & paid only $39.99 to tack on the extra year.

it always comes down to the money... they charge extra just because they now offer more services that you have to pay extra for anyway.

Then add to this that some of the video makers want to charge extra to play online. None have come up with a buisness model yet, but they are really getting to me with all the add-ons that you have to keep paying for.

People will pay it, because they want to play Halo Reach online. It is sad, but true.
I am not against services becoming more expensive as they add features, but in this case, MS is doing it all wrong. Had they done this increase along with a big feature update/addition, it'd be normal. MS, however, is doing this price increase after the fact, so it really feels like you're paying more for nothing. |

I'm very much excited to have ESPN3.com available through XBL. I use the service a lot to watch soccer matches-- it'll be nice to not be tethered to the TV via HDMI cable.

Remember that Xbox live hasn't had a rate increase since it started 8 yrs ago. I wouldn't might the increase if individual publishers weren't talking about charging for online game play in addition to live.
