I'm with (what appears to be) the majority, I've got XBL and I can't complain about the price. $40 shipped from Amazon / 13 months = ~$3.08 month. That's like 2 tacos from taco bell...and I get alot more time out of XBL than I do taco bell.

Now if it was like these MMO games and was coming in at $15+/month I'd be alot more hesitant...but for the features you get for the price I think it's well worth it.

The only problem I have with live is I pay via the 360 with my bank account and they charge tax. Same with MS points. They charge tax. I can understand if they shipped me something but its all online and instant, why the tax? Other than that Live is worth it.

This is why I go strictly though prepaid cards. Get 'em off of Amazon or Buy.com and there's no tax and often free shipping, and usually it's cheaper.

12 months of XBL gold purchased through XBL is $49.99.
12+1 months of XBL gold purchased through Buy.com ~$38.00.

lol so true.

& I agree. $40 for 13 months is well worth it.
 
I've never found the price to be a big deal and I do realize that I don't get much value from it as I rarely ever play online. But I get my satisfaction in deriding silvers that can't download the latest and greatest demo :evil:!
