This sucks, especially if you don't use the features that are supposedly justifying the cost increase. Hopefully they'll introduce some features that will improve the online experience. Still, $10 a year isn't that horrible. People can always go snatch up as many 1-year Live cards as they want right now for $50 and just use them later, assuming the codes would still be OK.

I am sure microsoft has ways of preventing that.

I bought two one year cards on sale on Amazon for $34 each and put them both in at once so now my membership has 22 months remaining.

I am sure Microsoft wouldn't mind everyone dropping $250 on five years of subscription now, that's liquidity for them.

oh, please! Xbox Live was too expensive to begin with. the cost should be going DOWN, not up!

I recently got Netflix for my Wii. The only reason I did not get it for the 360 (which is connected by HDMI; the Wii is component) is because a live sub'n was required. No, thanks.

Live is like Apple - premium price for more polish but no additional content.

I didn't realize "polish" could mean 'getting called a faggot by 13 year olds'. I'll have to correct my dictionary.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
