But don't worry, it's only for "some" users... just Mexico, the UK, Canada, and the US. -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 09:38
Big f'ing joke. It's already overpriced. Most people don't use the "features" that they've added over the last year. Ugh! - Krusty Aug 30, 09:37 8
- I wished as an incentive and for good customers they would give you points with your membership -- nm - eag Aug 30, 09:40 3
  - They really should do something nice for their loyal customers once and a while. No love from M$. -- nm - Krusty Aug 30, 09:48 2
    - Well the new play station plus subscription which is also 9.99 a month - eag Aug 30, 09:51 1
      - Good for them, I wish M$ would do something similar. Maybe a free indie game of your choice. -- nm - Krusty Aug 30, 09:53
- I wouldn't be surprised if this were the short term end game: increasing immediate sales from the pre-paid current users. -- nm - David Aug 30, 09:40
- I'm in Canada, I can't use half the features they've added (Netflix is not available, the streaming catalog is crap here, that sort of thing) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 09:38 2
  - All I want is to play online with friends, they can keep ESPN, Facebook and all the other crap. I wish I could switch to the PS3 exclusively. -- nm - Krusty Aug 30, 09:39 1
    - We use the Netflix streaming. Other than that, nothing. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 30, 09:51
I like that it's a "price change" not a price increase and that it doesn't affect everyone, just the countries with the largest user bases. - David Aug 30, 09:35
That's ridiculous. (Also, you guys pay $9/month for Xbox live?!?) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 30, 09:34 5
- if you're dumb enough to pay by the month. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 09:49 1
  - I was just going off of the grid he had that only showed monthly. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 30, 09:59
- I pay $29.99 a year. All that is needed is to wait until someone puts a card on sale. -- nm - David Aug 30, 09:36 1
  - I really should be more pro-active about this -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 09:36
- I pay yearly. - Beryllium Aug 30, 09:34
