Current-gen Xbox dev kits used to cost $1,500. They'll now be $2,000 for any game studio who wants to make a game for Xbox Series X/S and doesn't already have one. That's according to a new report from which says developers received the updated pricing in a recent email from Microsoft. "The adjustment reflects macroeconomic developments," the email to game development partners apparently reads. "We remain committed to providing high-quality tools and support for your development efforts."

AT&T is raising prices by $5 a month on all AT&T Internet plans, the company confirms to The Verge. That's on top of its $5-a-month increase from November 2024, and, it appears, a $5-a-month increase on some customers in 2023 as well. "To ensure we continue providing the quality service and support you deserve, the price of your home internet plan will increase by $5/month, starting December 1, 2025," reads an email I received Thursday.

Just the other day, Microsoft made a rather ballsy and probably stupid move when it announced that Game Pass Ultimate would be getting a 50% price increase amidst other changes to the subscription. Well, it looks like people were not too chuffed, and the surge of folk trying to cancel resulted in the website facing some technical problems.

Disney+ subscribers, including those who bundle, get ready for another price hike. The service's plan with ads will increase from $9.99 to $11.99 a month, while the ad-free plan will increase by three dollars to $18.99 a month. The news follows the ongoing tempest surrounding Jimmy Kimmel's politically motivated suspension from his Disney-owned talk show last week. There's no way to say for sure what factors led to Disney ending Kimmel's suspension on Monday (with the host now returning for his Tuesday evening show).

To paraphrase Ben Franklin, nothing is certain in this world except death, taxes and Disneyland ticket price increases. The only uncertainties surrounding the inevitable Disneyland price hike: When and how much? A pair of Disney theme park fan websites have forecast Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will raise ticket prices again in early October just a few weeks from now. MousePlanet reports Disneyland is expected to announce a ticket price increase on Oct. 8.

Just four months after the last time it did it, Xbox is raising the prices of the Series X/S consoles in the United States to a number I don't think any of us could have fathomed in 2019 when Microsoft announced the system at the Game Awards . Microsoft announced this on the Xbox support website , saying that the price changes will go into effect on October 3, and are "due to changes in the macroeconomic environment."

Fujifilm is planning to raise prices again for US customers due to volatile market conditions, following a previous increase of up to $800.

"AriZona uses more than 100 million pounds of aluminum a year for its cans, and about 20% of that comes from Canada."

Chick-fil-A first opened its doors in 1967 and has become a beloved fast food destination for its consistently great-tasting chicken sandwiches.

U.S. President Donald Trump has maintained a 25 percent tariff on the 8 million vehicles the U.S. imports annually, severely impacting automaker pricing strategies.

The costs of providing services have, however, increased significantly, and it's affecting the entire industry.

"We cannot deny that the new tariffs are a significant factor contributing to the price increase of the Osmo Pocket 3, as confirmed by DJI's statements."
