Just posted over at Major Nelson's blog are the details for the subscription price increases for Xbox Live gold members, which go into effect November 1st, 2010.  Here are the price breakdowns for the US:

US

Current

1M Gold:  $7.99

3M Gold:  $19.99

12M Gold:  $49.99

Starting Nov 1, 2010

1M Gold:  $9.99

3M Gold:  $24.99

12M Gold:  $59.99

That's pretty steep for something I really don't get a TON of value out of.  Here is what Major Nelson said was the reason for the price increase.

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.

Really?  The only thing I do on Xbox Live is either play games or buy things from the marketplace.  I could do both of those when you launched Xbox LIVE....when it cost $49.99.

Microsoft is being nice, however, they will allow you to renew your subscription now at the current $49.99 prices...as long as you do it before November 1st.
