Everyone else get this? I always thought it was $60 to begin with, so it's not that big of a deal to me. Also, we seem to find subscription cards for under the normal price, anyways, so that helps, too. If you take their special 12 month offer for current users, you can get a year for $40.

Dear TundraBeaver:

Thank you for being a valued member of Xbox LIVE Gold. We hope you are enjoying the many exciting and exclusive features that are included in your membership. We wanted to let you know about an upcoming price increase for your Xbox LIVE Gold subscription and how you can lock in your current price to continue enjoying everything you've come to love about Xbox LIVE, plus all the upcoming additions, including ESPN and Hulu Plus.

Over the past seven years, Xbox LIVE has evolved from an online gaming platform to an all-in-one gaming and entertainment service. As an Xbox LIVE Gold member, you can not only play blockbuster games, such as Halo: Reach with your friends online, you can also stream movies from Netflix* and music from Last.fm right to your TV. You can even connect with friends near and far on Facebook® and Twitter™. Plus, you also enjoy exclusive discounts and early access to game demos.

And we aren't even close to being done. This holiday, Xbox LIVE is adding new Gold features, including ESPN and Video Kinect, with Hulu Plus coming on Xbox LIVE in 2011.

•	With ESPN on Xbox LIVE, you can stream and watch over 3,500 live and on-demand sporting events plus highlights.*

•	Video Kinect allows you to chat with family and friends on the big screen, right from the comfort of your living room—no headset or controller required.*

Amazon has them on sale from time to time. But now that price will probably be 40-50 instead of 35-37. :(

Just checked my membership, I’m good until 9/10/2011. Hopefully I’ll be able to stock up on cheap cards before then.

I was good until October, but I figured what the hell, and bought another year at $40.
