Unless listed above, there is no change in any other subscription packages.
Since launching Xbox LIVE in 2002 we have continually added more content and entertainment experiences for our members, while keeping the price the same. We’re confident that when the new pricing takes effect, an Xbox LIVE Gold membership will continue to offer the best value in the industry.
However, we do want to thank our loyal members and give you the opportunity to lock in your current price with an additional discount, so now would be a good time to renew your subscription. |

| I was dismayed when I saw the title but £1 extra isn't too bad I guess.
But I'm going to stop paying through debit by November. Instead I will buy yearly codes or 3month codes.
I don't like the idea of £5 going out of my bank account every month that much. And so £6 is a bit too much to me.

Still, regardless of the price, I shouldn't be charged extra for a service full of features I barely use. I use online play and cross-game chat. THAT'S IT. I was already reluctant about paying $50 a year for that, so unless Microsoft adds some useful features to justify the even higher price tag, I'll be even more reluctant to pay (although I most likely will since I'm a tool). |

Thats why they probably are raising it. Because they know people will pay. |
