As mentioned bitbucket has free private reos, and it's great to have more competition.
On a side note, the main reason I moved was because of github username policies.
You can have your username given to another person organization for a ambiguous policy of 'not being active'. This occurs at the discretion of the github admin on hand. I logged in probably every 4-5 months to peruse other repos, but that was not enough. I even got a 'password' change request that I ignored because I didn't request it. I assume that shortly after that my account was given away.
Sure usernames are part vanity and part pride, but they also identify you among your communities. Being an early adopter of github in august 2008, you would also hope they would give you a little more respect.
What about asking me to pay $ cause I would have. Oh well, I'm on bitbucket and enjoy it.
From a strategic standpoint, I would suggest bitbucket start asking major projects to move their repos over.
