Pretty pissed at MS right now. I'm going through a pretty tough period, moneywise, and I turned off auto renewal for my year long gold membership.
It actually came up as a big box when I turned my 360 on a month ago, asking if I wanted to autorenew when my 2011 membership ran out, I selected 'no'.
Woke up today, checked to see if the over night downloads had finished and I'm still gold with my next renew date of September 2012.
Now I have to find £31 today or go into the red.
WTF was the point in asking me if I'd like autorenewal if they were just going to do it anyway?!
