Starting in November, Xbox Live's Gold Service will cost $60 annually, a $10 increase from the previous $50. The full list of price changes can be found after the jump.

Major Nelson wrote on his blog today stating the change is happening because "we have continually added more content and entertainment for our members." He doesn't say anything about adding anything new to the service to justify the price increase. Nelson also recommends that now would be a good time to renew your Gold subscription.

Xbox Live has regularly added things sense the 360's launch including Netflix Streaming, Last FM, twitter, Facebook, and 1 Vs. 100. It's worth noting that both Netflix and Last FM costs an addition fee, and 1 vs 100 was cancelled earlier this year.
The price changes to Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are as follows

US:
1 Month: $9.99 (formerly $7.99)
3 Months: $24.99 (formerly $24.99)
12 Months $49.99 (formerly $59.99)
