And what do we do if we have a silver membership? There is no ‘renewal’ button on the screen!

You can cancel the auto renew of the Xbox live gold if you go to xbox.com and login to your live account, click you gamertag, click contact information, click membership level, and where it says automatic renewel, click where it says on. You will then have to click through a few screens where they are trying to keep you but then you will finally be able to set it to off!!!

HAHA… I am the Jason in Atlanta that is causing you tremendous grief. In my own defense, your mom demanded pictures and I’ll be damned Arya is the cutest baby I have ever seen.

If I cancel my Xbox live silver subscription, will it change my profile back to an offline profile? I normally do not play online, since I do not have internet connection available. I noticed that everytime I login in, it gives me the error that it cannot connect to Xbox Live. I find this very annoying and would like to revert back to an offline profile.

You could always “lose” your credit card, and be issued a new number… that is, if you don’t have other recurring transactions on your account.

Yeah, this is a silly attempt to make it hard to NOT spend your money there. As a result I won’t sign back up. I’m more than happy to sign on and off all my other subscription based games. I can start and stop those on a whim and it makes it very appealing to return and use them again.

MS is just grubbing for more money and hoping you don’t cancel because it’s a pain.

Oh and get this: You LOSE the time remaining if you cancel early (see: penalty for cancelling early vs. chance to wait too long and pay for another month)

You LOSE your gamer tag and ranks (see: we don’t want you to stop paying so we’ll penalize you if you do)

You CANNOT subscribe via a gamecard without a credit card (see: We can’t simply start billing your credit card after your game card expires and you’ve forgotten about it)
