[quote] 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.

Again, the only subscription packages impacted are those mentioned above. For instance, the 12m UK Price? Not affected since it is not mentioned above.

Edit: You can sign in and hit this page on Xbox.com to find out when your Xbox LIVE subscription expires. [/quote]

Xbox Live also offers more than "just" online gaming, which is mostly what PS3 offers (aside from a web browser). I don't prefer either system over the other (I own both), but Xbox Live is the superior Online service between the two. So it's not surprising that you pay for Xbox Live. Also, PSN has already implemented a subscription system, so while it is still "free" per se, you could also pay for it for additional perks.

As miffed as I am that I have to pay more for my Xbox Live, I understand why you have to pay for it (even though I don't really agree with the price hike), as opposed to the Sony's bare-bones, free system
