Sadly you like many others did not read the fine print in the new user agreement regarding xbox live gold subscriptions. If you put you're credit card info in their database you agree to a contract that will grant you gold as long as you are alive with the downfall of microsoft taking your hard earned money every month. You cannot nor ever will be prompted with the option to opt-out. Also...Shall Microsoft ever attempt to raise the monthly fee you will be paying the newfound price. The course will start immediately the following month of course regardless if you have insufficient funds in your checking account. Best thing to do is keep it atleast 50$ in there as I think microsoft will raise the monthly price to 50$ a month in about a year or two. You dont want a bounced check.So I know this isn't the right thread but I couldn't find just an xbox live on..
Basically I have always had xbox gold and microsoft points via redeem codes, never had my credit card on my account. Recently I hooked up my paypal to buy some DLC on cheap, and a one month xbox live gold sub. I removed the auto renew (well I thought I did) but its just renewed for another month.
Looking around I found that unless you replace it with another payment option, you can not 1) remove the auto renewal and 2) remove it as a payment method.. So what can I do? Am I just stuck getting xbox live forever now? I was thinking if I paid for a 1 month gold month on like GAME.co.uk where they email you the redeem code and put that in maybe I can swap it in place for my paypal?
Any help welcome.

so they're going to actually try and keep up with PS+?
Then we're gonna get bioshock 1 and DMC4It's gonna be tough. We got Brothers, DmC and Bioshock Infinite this month in the US.

My bet's on Bioshock and Metro 2033.
Phil Spencer said he talked to the team so I hope he has told them to improve.
MS is in a hard place they offer games to keep but they're mostly old ass games.
PS+ is a better offer is you want to play more newer titles, the fact you don't keep the games doesn't matter if you're already paying for + it's just added value. Makes me wonder why MS doesn't just do both?
Unless their is some contractual reason MS can't do the same thing? They're obviously planning something so it will be interesting to see what.
afaik is there simply no game rental system on the 360. That's why they're giving them away instead. I don't think they really made a conscience decision.MS is in a hard place they offer games to keep but they're mostly old ass games.

It is probably based on number of people that get the game. There are more people with Gold so I am sure it is more expensive to procure games.
Well I think that's because Games With Gold actualy gives you the game. You pay for Gold and you get to keep 2 games forever while PSN let's you play those games as long you pay for the subscription.
Games with gold might be more expensive for MS than PS+ is for Sony. One is a lost sale while the other asks you for money to keep playing it. Just saying...

Any word on Feb titles?
Its not necessarily more expensive, because its good business for publishers as well. Many people will play the game which is a good advertisement. It pushes DLC sales and more people are likely to pick up the sequel.
We did get saints row 3 and BF3 on Plus before their sequels came out, it was no coincidence.

It's nice they usually have the DLC on sale at the same time
True for me. I wasn't even going to touch a World of Keflings but...it's actually pretty good. I'm considering picking up the DLC. Same with Iron Brigade.

So the games with gold is going to extend beyond this month? I thought it was suppose to end at the end of December 2013, and then got a month extension, and that would be it. Is there a source that said it would continue beyond January of 2014?

Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise needs to happen. great game.
but yeah. newer stuff from now on. please.
Steam kind of does this by doing Free Weekends. It's usually rather smaller publishers that do it though.Pubs should just give it away to everyone and not just subscribers, they would really rake in the dough that way.

Don't forget games with gold is still a relatively young service, ps+ didn't have amazing games at the start.
Rayman Origins and/or Legends would be another good one.
Hadn't thought of that. That would be a great choice!
Actually a better idea would be to wait until a couple months before Viva Pinata 3 is announced, and release it in the second half of the month, after another super popular game is released (basically, people buy gold for the other game, and then also get to have Viva Pinata: TiP in the second half of the month).
This then, get's people experience with the game so that they know what to be excited for with the next one. Plus, it's a good game anyway.
I'd love a jRPG theme month.
Could be Blue Dragon plus Lost Odyssey.

that would depend on Viva Pinata 3 getting made. and while ive been holding out hope that that will happen someday soon... well.. you know how Microsoft has been.
but thats not a bad idea. i could see that happening
Neither of those are on the marketplace to begin with though. Makes no sense why they aren't.
Viva Pinata is a great game/series, but fuck why hasn't there been a Conker sequel? Like it's a no brainer. Conker's Bad Fur Week.
Never really understood how this works anyway. Like why can I buy DMC 4 on Games on Demand but not on PSN?Neither of those are on the marketplace to begin with though. Makes no sense why they aren't.
Yeah, that's a hugely missed opportunity. Well, hugely maybe, but still.Neither of those are on the marketplace to begin with though. Makes no sense why they aren't.

i dont think either are available as Games on Demand titles.
plus, Lost Odyssey alone is something like 25GB. i dont know if MS is worrying about people with those smaller hard drives, but the size of that game could make them hesitant to release it, if they ever did. but yeah, that would be cool

Can we just agree that every Rare game deserves a sequel? And if it has a sequel, yet another one? Because yeah, they have the best games.
