That's why I bought a PS3. If you don't play online, I don't see the point in Xbox live. I don't, (as I prefer games with real stories and interesting characters) and I opted to get the PS3 because of that. But why are they hiking it? PSN is free, and that's been updating itself for a while now.

all the games you can get on ps3 are on xbox... and metal gear solid and little big planet do not count.... their games in the same way swimming is a sport...

and no im not a live fanboy ... tbh i dislike live and never paid for it again after the first subscription...

Big whoop. It's still worth the cost to me.

Prices go up. That's life. Get used to it. (Anyone who has a car will likely nod knowingly.)

I don't think it will affect much at all. But honestly with PSN being a primary free service, you'd think microsoft would DROP the price of live in order to try to eliminate that argument of "PSN is better because it is free." But meh, it hasn't gone up in Australia yet, but I still might go out and buy a year next pay check...

As long as they don't change the price for 1 year subscriptions I don't really care.
Who pays per month/ three months anyway? Year long subscriptions are way cheaper.

An extra $10 on my yearly subscription? I guess it doesn't matter too much. Larry Hyrb is still a huge douche though, any time I hear about that guy I just picture his face and I want to punch it. He reminds me of all the crazy 10 year olds on Live who are willing to do anything for Microsoft points...>_>

All you got to do is save a dollar a day for 10 weeks and your good to go man, buy the card and hold onto it until you need to use it.

Games like God of War 3, Heavy Rain? There are more interesting games for me on the PS3 than on the 360, which of course is why I opted for the PS3. And I don't know what you're talking about. LittleBigPlanet is obviously a video game. And if Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't a game because it has long cutscenes, wait what? That's like saying Halo 3 isn't a game because it's shit. Or that Gear of War 2 isn't a game because the main character has shit for brains. On your basis, what constitutes a game?

"Analyst Jesse Divinich of EEDAR believes this price increase will not have a major effect of Microsoft's momentum or subscription base,"

and thus my gold account and thousands of others have been immediately canceled upon reading the above. He is already wrong. I'm already paying more money than I should for a borderline worthless service so why do I need to pay more?
Amen. I don't intend to subscribe again for some time, I prefer Single Player games above all now lately.
I raise my hand to that!

it's not a big increase but it's a start, and of course more "entertainment" is uploaded onto XBL everyday, thats what its for, games and DLC, but I havent seen anything too new to drastically call for an increase, and such a small increase makes me think itll go up again in like 2 years

Unless Live is somehow getting 10 dollars better that's pretty weak. Sure it's only ten bucks a year but paying more for the same thing always sucks. It's not as though there's an increasing shortage of "internets" that make the new ones more valuable.

This really pisses me off. It wont change a thing, the people paying now, including myself will continue paying for it. The worst part is its nothing but a total money grab. The spokesperson just said pretty much that they know they could hike the price up and still keep all subscribers. Not a reason was given, there isnt one, maybe just maybe if they said we're making things cheaper on xbox live or we're adding a ton of free stuff, or even we've been doing tons of maintence and need to pay someone. But no, they are raising it just because theyll make an extra buck from a million people. Oh and then to say you better go out and stock up some gold member subscriptions while its cheaper is a joke. Go buy a ton of our already overpriced stuff before we make it even more overpriced! Your getting a great deal you sheep!
