Microsoft has confirmed to us that Xbox Live pricing is going up in six territories. The company says that it is making adjustments based on currency fluctuation.

Affected territories include Austria, Hungary, Israel, South Africa, Sweden, and Turkey.

Wait, Austria uses Euros as currency. If MS is increasing the prices of XBox Live due to currency issues, why is Austria the only country with euros affected by this?

You know it deserves the GOTY.

Do those countries have access to Bing Rewards? They can get credits to redeem them for Xbox Live Gold
