XBL Gold membership price drop (Limited Time)

[dalecheesy]

Better hurry if you want to get a lower annual fee rate for the Xbox Live Gold membership. True that subscription rates are lower on Xbox. com, but Microsoft says this is only "for a limited time".

According to a Microsoft rep,

We are currently running a promotion in-dash that gives Silver members a special opportunity to upgrade to the full benefits of Gold membership at a reduced price for a limited time. While there are occasional price promotions offered for our service, we're confident our 12-month Gold members realize the tremendous entertainment value provided for just over US$ 4 per month.

As it stands, the XBL Gold membership is being offered at just US$ 39.99.

However some retailers, including Amazon.com, are offering physical 12-month -- actually, 13-month -- account cards for the same $39.99 price. Theres also Ebay.. When asked, Microsoft said that this is no indication of a planned permanent price drop for yearly subscriptions. Sony's PSN crew just smiled.

Man it would be nice if they would drop the price of XBL. I mean yea $50 a year is not that much but they should drop it in to in the $30 range that would be great.
