I wanted to let you know that as of November 1, 2010 we are increasing the price of an Xbox LIVE for some members. This price increase only affects Xbox LIVE Members in Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom or the United States.

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.
If you're in one of the above regions, expect a lot of griping, and a small decrease in people to match up with in multiplayer games. You do, however, have the chance to "lock-in" a lower price by following a link on Major Nelson's, which has been conveniently located below.
