Cheap Xbox Live
Don't pay $8.50 a month from retail stores or the xbox live store for XBL.

Pay only $4.30 a month Maximus Cards. Previously known as microsoftxboxpoints).

I just bought the 12+1 card ($57 AUD), got it by email in about 5 seconds, took about 15 to redeem it, and it extended my date from the 9th of the 9th 2009 (that was a sweet date), to 9th of the 10th 2010.

Just using paypal. No adding cards to your account.
