Remember when Phil tweeted back last year " We dont care if you buy a ps5 this holiday"? If playstation is your competition why would you promote that kind of language? To be "Good guy Phil" so for twitter clout? Would Nadella approve of that? Or is there a long term, ulterior motive MS isnt ready to talk about yet? Think about it.They are basically saying if you only play yearly releases like madden or fifa, buy a ps4 /ps5.
Incredibly short sighted and silly. Dropping f2p requirment would have softened the blow.
Official. Damn!![]()
No Changes to Xbox Live Gold Pricing, Free-to-Play Games to be Unlocked [Update] - Xbox Wire
[UPDATED on 1/22/2021 at 8:52 PM PT] We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox […]news.xbox.com

With 45 million PS Plus suscribers a 10 dollar increase would be 450 million dollars, 20 would be 900 million dollars, per year. All profit. And still be the cheapest option for online play, well besides nintendo and PC. Thats alot of money. They could even sweeten the deal like access to crunchy roll or sony movies and people wouldnt even complain.Microsoft's "monopoly" is really only with Windows though. Plenty of competition in gaming. So it really isn't "price gouging" as there are clear alternatives. Microsoft or any other company can price themselves out of the market whenever they want. It is stupid, but not illegal.
Microsoft has handed Sony a pretty clear advantage with this. Let's hope Jim Ryan refrains from being Jim Ryan for once.

You have a batch of keys available to your retail... the keys are unique for that specific product ($60 1Y card).@ethomaz that's not the way these digital codes work, LOL. There will be a small queue to ensure availability (why these get exhausted at points of above average sales) but the system is essentially real-time, just like phone top-ups etc. You don't have months and months of digital "stock" on hand.
That is what he do every time... it is not the first neither the last.So he was just passing off his own dumb guesses as 'leaked info'? This fat soybean has got quite some nerve!

If you’re in a region where prices are being adjusted, you will receive an email and a message center notification over the next month letting you know what the new pricing is for your membership.
Still £49 for the year on uk Amazon. What is price of ultimate for the year?
Bbbbbut I checked Amazon, Bestbuy, Gamestop, etc etc etc online... are you saying I had no ideia what I was talking about?![]()

Did those retailers just up the price?Bbbbbut I checked Amazon, Bestbuy, Gamestop, etc etc etc online... are you saying I had no ideia what I was talking about?
I'm in DENIAL so it could be only FAKE!
Nope... they need to sell all old keys first.Did those retailers just up the price?
COD news channels are starting to pick this up. Good, hope it spreads everywhere and gets tons of backlash.
What do u mean by this?since all your progress/save is tied into that subscription.
It is a 50% price increase if you look at old price... 6 months was $39.I dont think you can justify doubling the price. A 100% jump is pretty huge for somehting like this. I bet there is more to this story to come.
Its not.since all your progress/save is tied into that subscription.
but seriously guys...
u know whats gonna happen when everybody is on gamepass right?
Didnt realize that, thought it was a straight doublling of the price.It is a 50% price increase if you look at old price... 6 months was $39.
They issue that makes it looks like 100% is that they removed completely the 1 year option that should be $99 now.
armchair market analyst right here ..probably u was in class with don matrick don't u?Remember when fake xbox insiders would tell us that MS was going to drop xbox gold to play online, any minute now? LOL. My hunch, xbox revenues are collapsing because they've conditioned their audience not to buy software anymore but not enough people are subscribed to game pass yet to make up the difference. Im sure Series S isnt cheap to manufacture and it doesnt help its just sitting on shelves all across Europe.
"If you’re an existing online 12-month or 6-month Xbox Live Gold member, there’s no price change. If you choose to renew your membership, it will renew at the current price."
They removed the year option that is Still available at retailers everywhere. You'd figure those years subs would be gone since they dropped the year option from MS last year. I am not yet convinced that this is the end of the world. Nobody likes a price hike but this seems easily circumvented.It is a 50% price increase if you look at old price... 6 months was $39.

Fortnite on PS -freeDidnt realize that, thought it was a straight doublling of the price.
Well a new gen starting, a 40% hike, 50% hike, i could see that to be honest. Its just the way the world works with stuff like this.
Hopefully they add a few incentives at least.
Yes.1

This same thing WILL happen to GamePass in a year or two also. Trust me! MS will attempt to make that $7.5 Billion back.
