Deal Details
Microsoft has recently announced that the price of Xbox Live Gold is going up. The $60 1 year membership will now be $60 for a 6 month membership. If you are subscribed at the current rate they will honor a renew at your old price.

Retailers are now carrying the new $60 6 month cards. You can get ahead by stocking up on the old cards at their original price points being the price hike. This will make the gamepass trick more expensive too at the new price points, so now is the time.

I've provided a few good prices below. Take advantage while you can.

Costco: 2 years for $95.00

Target: 1 year for $59.99

Amazon: 1 year for $59.99

don't you worry, PSN will follow suit, as they've done in the past. M$ paves the money-grab way and Sony is a fast follower Wink
Nope won't happen Sony knows their market price... if anything Sony is going to add more to their service or cut prices. They will use xboxs fark up as stepping stone to praise on service price/services

Watch PS cut this real deep and include EA play in the future or a price slash. Say what u want but it cost me 60$ in total for a year of ps plus and ps now.
And you don't get half of what GPU offers you at that price. And what deal are you getting that makes ps now and plus the price of just plus?!?

I would be weary about buying from grey market sites going forward. At any point in time Microsoft can cancel and make those codes void. Essentially killing the Xbox grey market
You obviously have no clue how this industry works...

So higher price for controllers, console, games, and now online gaming???? Since I haven't been able to get a ps5 I think I'm getting a gaming computer
As someone who's been trying to get a graphics card for a month, trust me when I say that's not the better option either. With Bitcoin, as well as tariffs that went into effect on the 1st the cost for everything computer related as gone up drastically.

Thats a ridiculous price increase...
It's only ridiculous if people don't pay it. There are many many people that rely on video games for entertainment and will pay it.

Quote from Nick5324 :
I'm wondering if there will be changes coming for MS rewards. There was a price hike for Gold in summer 2019, 1 month went from 6,800 to 8,500, 3 months went from 15k to 20k. If they are raising the retail cost of Gold now, especially by this much, I'd be surprised if they didn't raise the amount of Kool-Aid points needed on MS rewards.

FWIW, currently game pass ultimate is 12k points for 1 month, 35k points for 3 months. I don't know how many points a person can legitimately save up in a year, but I doubt it's 140k.
You might be surprised... I'm at 16k MS Reward points for this month, and other people have already earned more.

If I was a betting man, I'd bet that they still go on sale yearly for $35 to $40 as they do now.
but this could help for xbox game pass deals "If you'd like to upgrade your Gold membership to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate your remaining Gold time will also convert directly to Ultimate (up to 36 months). For example, if you have 11 months of Xbox Live Gold now, and you upgrade to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, those 11 months convert to 11 months of Ultimate at no additional cost."

Sure.

Until then, kindly do us all a favor and refrain from spewing idiotic and ignorant prophecies...
