70 bucks? Fail. If Microsoft is going to "up" their prices for their products, do even bother asking me if I have any xbox live.

It's $60.00.

And congratulations! You're now $60.00 richer and have Xbox Live Silver. If you want it and the price bothers you then just watch for deals...they run them all the time.

it's $60 a year and places like amazon usually have sales where you can get it for $30-$40 AND you get what you pay for, a superior online service.

its 100 bucks you get 4 accounts and I think one is the main account for parents to set family setting and spending limits and credit card info and they others get their permissions off that. I think they have an offer now were you get 800 MS points for signing up. You can use them on other xboxes too

Just so you guys know, if you check your local gamestop, walmart, etc they are probably still selling their old LIve cards for $50. I called Gamestop today and they said that they are selling it at that price until they get rid of all their old inventory.

Just use Rawards1.com all you do is do those stupid surveys putting in false info and eventually you could get MS points and Live and even a xbox. MS and xboxs codes are emailed to you so put in real info when you sign up

I'm sorry, was that directed at us or was it intended for Microsoft? No need to complain to us :) Also, do some research. Take advantage of your web browser and search for deals - especially with Amazon, etc.

They always have deals going on for LIVE. If you don't want to pay, fine. Then you don't get to play online.

im with tc and any one who defends microsoft grow a brain , ps3 and wiis online service is free , , and you know what, there are no ads everytime we load up

and on the 360 we pay and get ads! come on, if your gonna put ads in our faces make it free then , because you know what, ive never had disconecting issues until they put those ads on this thing ,

ads are ruining my game experience , especally on the main screen/xbox menu , what ever it is , it disconnects me almost all the time freases when theres a car ad half the time

Buy.com has it for 45$ and Amazon for 44.96$. Say what you will but that's still cheaper than the original price of the product. Look around for other deals they tend to fluctuate in price. I've gotten them as low as 30-35$ by shopping around. Just because the official price is 60, doesn't mean you have to pay 60. Be smart about it.

Go b**** on your blog. You're not the only one who didn't like the price raise -- just pay attention for the deals, you can get Live for US$30-40 easily.

i used to be like you coplaining about the price but then i thought about it.

your paying 60.00 a year right, so thendivide that by the 12 months thats 5.

so really your only paying 5 dolars a month for an easy basic interface and system to use to play online with your friends

if only smartphone cell plans were 60 bucks a year(heck even a month would be a relief to what they charge). But like many have said you gotta shop around and not always buy retail. Shoot last week(or maybe 2 weeks ago) XBL had them for 48.00 a year. amazon and ebay can be your friend-bought a 12 month for 33 bucks on ebay, personal ad got the code in like 4 minutes.

BTW the person who put the picture of the dog...Funny as hell, the dog's expression is priceless :)

I feel bad for anyone who pays a dime to play online, when it is free on other platforms.

Really? It breaks down to less than a quarter a day. I spend far, far more on coffee every year than Xbox Live and the pleasure and entertainment time I derive from LIve greatly exceeds anything else I buy most of the time. Well worth it to me, sounds like you bought the wrong system, though. PS3 has free online, enjoy the lack of party chat, cross-game invites, or really anything other than a friend's list.

It's also severely lacking in features and options on "other platforms." I own all three systems, and the other two's online services don't even come close.

Dude... dont even go there, those futures you are talking about arent even free...while the others offer it to you free ( when i say free i mean you dont have to pay for having features which you also have to pay when you use,for example netflix) I have both a ps3 360 and pc;)

I agree Xbox Live is ripping people off just to play games online. I love the system and the games but I don't see myself keeping up with paying for Live. I'll probably lean towards getting 3 months of Live gold cards only and only get it for certain games that I want to play its online with.
