Xbox Live's Absurd Increase

Yes, the sad reality of a massive price increase is true. Xbox Live is increasing the Gold subscription by R110 so the total will be R159 per month, which is completely unreasonable in my opinion. The reason for the increase is that the Rand-Dollar exchange rate is so weak and Americans pay $10 per month, which is an estimate of R159. To be honest I am not sure if I will be staying with Microsoft any longer. Unfortunately, six countries will be affected by this increase and one of them is South Africa.

South Africans pay about $3.25 for Xbox Live Gold. However, pricing in the US is $9.99 (R156). I could have handled a R20-R30 increase, but R110 extra per month is just too much! This will be taking effect on the 20th of June 2016. My advice to any Xbox Live subscribers is to go and buy one-month Gold subscriptions from BT Games or selected toy stores.
