Glad to see that the Penny Arcades haven't gotten any funnier in the one year interval since I last looked at one.
Seriously though, I hope we all find more pleasing pricing before November. I won't be going the Microsoft route, I refuse to give them my credit card #. I'll find something, stay tuned :) |

I just started Live to get DL songs for my music games so I'm kinda stuck needing some kind of access. They'll probably release new Beatles DLC after the hike. :) (And yeah, I know MS doesn't control that...)
I also just started Netflix streaming, which is pretty darn nice, though I have to say I've been spoiled by Blu-ray picture and am not wild about the streaming quality. I compared a Blu-ray picture to a non-HD streaming picture to a couple family members and they said they couldn't tell any difference. :(

That's what I'm saying, Amazon will only let me purchase one card. It said "you can only purchase one of this item per month" or something to that effect.

Pretty sure you only need a free Silver account to buy stuff, including RBDLC though there are the Deals which are only for Gold members.
Netflix however, does require Gold. When I've streamed the picture hasn't been HD, but it's been perfectly acceptable. |

I'm not going to throw a hissy fit over this since it comes to a average of a whooping $2.00 per month. But you'll still find deals on card (12 month) all over so no big deal.
But as some have pointed out it's all the extra services being offered that's causing the increase and sad to say...everyone is flipping the bill which shouldn't be the case. As I say...you use it...you pay for it...not everyone else. |

One analyst already suggested a Platinum level of Xbox Live. For $100.
$100 is a lot of money of course, but I can see something like that if Microsoft really wants the Xbox to be the center of your living room. I would pay $100 for a combination of: - Hulu Plus - Netflix (service similar to Netflix, not having to pay extra $10) - PSN+. Meaning being able to play full games for a given period of time, achievements included of course, and one or two free XBL games a month. |
Re: Xbox Live Gold Pricing is Changing starting November 1st, 2010!
I got PSN+ when it came out in order to try Hulu Plus and it was pretty much a waste of money.
The games they give are crap and the discounts are generally on junk like themes and such. |
