    If you call Microsoft they might make you an offer, I vaguely remember getting it for £20 - £22 a few years ago. I've called other years and they wanted full price though.

    Remember to disable auto-renewal if you pay by card though.

    Thanks for the tip about cdkeys btw ifstar.

    You'll want to avoid games like Skyrim Online then Gold Dust. You have to pay for Xbox Live and an in-game subscription.

    It's not out yet, its a mmorpg version coming out later in the year. Personally I'd rather spend my money on a wide variety of games rather than pour it all in to one.
  • Oh, I be confusing Skyrim and Skyrim online - some gamer I am, eh? I'm with you on that one, I would rather buy quite a few games rather than a single really expensive one that'll cost about 30 quid cheaper 6 months down the line. Although that didn't stop me from pre-ordering AC4. I'm a sucker for the AC games:o.
