Unless listed above, there is no change in any other subscription packages.
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.
However, we do want to thank our loyal members and give you the opportunity to lock in your current price with an additional discount,
so now would be a good time to renew your subscription.
Again, the
only subscription packages impacted are
those mentioned above. For instance, the 12m UK Price? Not affected since it is not mentioned above.
Edit: You can sign in and
hit this page on Xbox.com to find out when your Xbox LIVE subscription expires.
Even though the MSRP for Xbox LIVE Gold in the US is $49.99, it's sometimes sold for $30-35 from some online retailers. Hopefully, these sale prices would stay the same.
