Yesterday I posted the TOP LIVE Activity list which I have since learned contained a manual error in the reporting data for the week of September 13th.
I have just the list but I also wanted to share an interesting data point: (that has been double checked) Halo: Reach was the number one game on Xbox LIVE for the past seven days and had nearly four times as many unique users playing the game on Xbox LIVE vs. Halo 3 for the week of Sept. 13.
I have corrected the list has which shows Halo: Reach as the number two game on Xbox LIVE for the period of Sept. 13 – 19 (having only been available from September 14th onwards), followed by Halo: 3 in third place. I hope that clears things up.
Now, once I finish the Reach campaign, anyone know of some good Excel classes I can take ?

I wanted to let you know that as of November 1, 2010 we are increasing the price of an Xbox LIVE for some members. This price increase only affects Xbox LIVE Members in Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom or the United States.
Unless listed above, there is no change in any other subscription packages.
Since launching Xbox LIVE in 2002 we have continually added more content and entertainment experiences for our members, while keeping the price the same. We’re confident that when the new pricing takes effect, an Xbox LIVE Gold membership will continue to offer the best value in the industry.
Again, the only subscription packages impacted are those mentioned above. For instance, the 12m UK Price? Not affected since it is not mentioned above.
Edit: You can sign in and hit this page on Xbox.com to find out when your Xbox LIVE subscription expires.
