Xbox Live is a powerful weapon in Microsoft's Xbox 360 arsenal, but gamers aren't likely to be happy with an unexpected and unexplained increase in the price of the service. "I wanted to let you know that as of November 1, 2010 we are increasing the price of an Xbox LIVE [membership] for some members," Major Nelson announced on his blog. "This price increase only affects Xbox LIVE Members in Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom or the United States."

Here's how it breaks down in the US:

Old price New price One month $7.99 $9.99 Three months $19.99 $24.99 One year $49.99 $59.99 In the UK the price will go up £1 per month, Canada will see a CAN$1 per month increase, and Mexican gamers will pay 100 pesos extra for a year of service. Remember that finding game cards on sale for less than the going rate is common now, and that shouldn't change after the price increase. Heck, you can even buy a bunch of cards now and lock in the current price.

Xbox Live is constantly being updated, and the service is much more robust now than it was at launch, but everyone is going to have to make the judgment call for themselves: either cancel your service to send a message, or continue paying. Companies are less sensitive to angry comments than they are to changes to their bottom line.
