Hoo boy

I REALLY wish the PS3 had been cheaper, even if it meant missing out on Nuts & Bolts and Tales of Vesperia... Funny, a very small part of me was kind of hoping MS might at least reduce the cost of Gold in response to PSN+. Then they go and raise it...

EDIT: If you still want to keep Live, a lot of places (including MS themselves) are selling 1 year subs at reduced prices.

Yeah I can't believe they are jacking up the price for no additional value!

There's ESPN, though I think that's it. (So far anyway) Doesn't matter to me because all I want is online play. I don't care about Facebook, Twitter, Last FM, Netflix or ESPN at all.

Wow that's pretty lame. Can't believe they'd do this. Is this in response to ESPN or something? Wish there was a cheaper one for just online gaming and not the other features.

Oh well, doesn't affect me any, not like people are gonna stop paying it, especially since they are offering discounts currently.

The price goes up officially nov 1st if I am understanding is right. Regardless the only feature I care about is netflix and ps3 does that just fine.

What the hell? Since when does Netflix require a gold account? I thought those things you listed were free to everyone, not exclusive to gold. Maybe I just already had gold at the time so I didn't notice or think about it.

My Gold sub expires soon (or may already have since the last time I signed on) and I wasn't going to renew because I rarely ever play online, but maybe I should while I can for $39.99 ? Anyone know will I still be able to use Netflix on my xbox if I don't renew?

I can get it from the Microsoft reward site for half price. So I am not as upset as I could be.

:p That's lame, guess I just didn't notice/remember that. I suppose I should just cough up the $39.99 if it's not too late for me to get that price
