In his blog post, Major Nelson said,
Since launching Xbox LIVE in 2002 we have continually added more content and entertainment experiences for our members, while keeping the price the same. We’re confident that when the new pricing takes effect, an Xbox LIVE Gold membership will continue to offer the best value in the industry.
Seems like it’ll be a good idea to renew your Xbox Live Subscription before November 1.
