This will not officially start until 1/13/09 (Monday) so don't post that the link doesn't show the correct price. It will at 12:00 AM PST on Monday, as is normal with the buy.com deals I've seen in the past. This is a great deal for those that need to add or renew your XBox Live subscription.

12+1 month (13 months total) membership for $29.99 and free shipping. That is less then $2.50 a month! Now it won't start until midnight Monday morning so check again then.

This info was passed to me over xbox.com messaging from a buddy o' mine so I can't swear by it, but I trust him. So I copy and pasted the message.

2.50 a month is really nothing to complain about. I remember back when I was actually concerned that Wii and PS3's online networking was free. I use Xbox's more than Wii and PS3 combined...

Anyway, I hardly see anyone here who has a 360 but doesn't already have a gold account. And those who don't are just silly.

Any idea on how long it will last? I won't be getting a 360 for another month or so.

Probably one day only. And I have to say again that its not for sure but I do trust the guy that told me the sale would happen.
