    Well I was recently thinking about not renewing my live. Looks like MS have made the decision easy. I can't remember the last time I used Live!

    I'd agree that this was a good deal - I'm a bit annoyed that I managed to miss out on it. :'(

    I use xboxlivecodes.co.uk I think it is, if not something similar, I managed to get 24 months of live for £38, every so often they throw out good deals on live code cards etc. Codes normally emailed through within a matter of minutes.

    £40 a year is more than users in the US pay even after the increase.
