Microsoft is raising it's xbox live subscription fee to 9.99/ month. 24.99/ 3months. 59.99/ 1year.
Existing members have until October 30 to buy a year subscription with a 30% discount of the old price ($39.99). You should take advantage of this cheap deal before things get expensive.
About the price I usually buy it on eBay anyway. But I'm gonna do that soon because I don't feel like paying 60$ for live. Price lift is bullshit but oh well. I'll be locked in for the next 2 years, hopefully by then the price goes back down.
