Can't say it's a HUGE deal for people who already do yearly, but it REALLY sucks for people who choose 3 month increments.

There will be a renewal special on accounts expiring around Nov 1st, $40 for 1 year.

Looks more like a price equalization then anything. Personally, I would've preferred to see world prices come down to American prices.

judging from last night, i hope they are planning on beefing up the servers.

halo totally crippled live last night. i'm not sure how the servers work exactly for live, or games on live, or whatever. but i live 20 minutes from my brother and the lag was NUTS from all the people playing that game.
