Ironically enough, I got a one year renewal for $35.99 today. I simply called Xbox LIVE, told them I didn't want my account auto-renewed. They understood, asked why, and when I explained my financial reasoning, and that I was looking for some of those 1 year cards to go on sale/clearance, he offered me that price...40% off. I took it. Hell, it's cheaper than almost every sale you see hit Amazon. So, once I get caught up on some of my responsibilities, I'll be back online.
