Starting November 1st, the price to have an XBox Live gold account will be going up.
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.
Those who have just renewed their XBL gold account might have just lucked out until their subscription expires.
The new prices are as follows:
One month is $7.99 will now be $9.99
Three month is $19.99 will now be $24.99
One year is $49.99 will now be $59.99
This news comes from Major Nelson’s blog.
I’m interested to see if a lot of XB360 games will switch to the silver account. Do you think XBL gold is worth $60?

I doubt anyone will leave gold because of this… it’s 10 bucks more a year that’s less then a dollar raise a month though it would be nice if they added Zune Pass to the Gold Subscription
