XBLA prices slowly rising, says Microsoft
So far, 2011 has seen 20 1,200-plus games land on XBLA. In 2010, 27 of the 85 games released for service cost 1,200 points or more, an 8 percent increase over 2009, during which 21 out of 86 titles hit that price point. Charla attributes the gradual pricing increase to an increase in the number of quality titles on the platform: "I think the games that we're shipping -- a Limbo or a Castle Crashers -- are as good as anything on the market." He went on to say that while it's "really gratifying" to know that gamers are willing to pay a "premium" for digital content, it is the market that decides what direction prices will go.

xIVIcMuFFiiNxSUPERchickenGUY I noticed this today when was at 711
12 months are 60 instead of 50,3months are 25 instead of 20... I dont see why honestly, MS doesnt need any more money, theyve been making tons and tons for years but, now, they need more? Pointless, all I can say
How do you barely notice that!? The prices changed to that a very long time ago.
Ive been live under a rock for the past year

If prices keep rising I'll have to stop getting gold. And I'll have to buy used games. I'm barely affording XBL with tuition, books, and housing. Not to mention getting a new job is fking hard. If they keep this up I'm going have to give up xbox.

Prefire Now all Playstation has to do, is get there shat together and still keep things free. Everyone would go to them i bet. Cept the hardcore haters.
Even though i prefer XBox i don't have any problems with Playstation, except that XBox feels safer as i add cards to my accounts.

we already pay 60-80 dollars a year on XBL, why should we have to pay another "premium" for more digital content?
