It only shows higher prices in the States for anything beyond a month, but still.

Not that I ever paid full price for a year, but still.

There goes the (ambitious) hope that it would someday be free. I never expected it to be, but some did.

Well, assuming Amazon still sells it for $10 under retail, guess it means I'll be paying normal price.

You can also lock in for 40 bucks a year now.

Which isn't bad I guess.

Whatever Microsoft is full of dicks right now.

If you go onto your Xbox, under Spotlight I believe, there's a deal where you can renew for two years and get 1600 points for $84...so if you count the price increase, this is basically 60 free dollars.

Someone said it comes out to $32.50 a year. I went ahead with it, since it doesn't bill me until it renews, and well, I just did the Halo one too for $29.99, so it won't be billing me for a while :D

I do think it's funny that they just raised the price, yet somehow the next 3 years of Live for me will be the cheapest yet.
