Microsoft Charges you 50 USD for 2 Months of LIVE

[wraggster]

XBOX Live member ForceTrainer says that after he forgot to update his credit card information, Microsoft shut down his XBOX Live account. He was fine with this, but when he tried to update his info, pay his balance, and convert his account to silver, Microsoft demanded he pay an entire year's fee to settle the two months he was delinquent.

NO WAY! poor dude. MS is very shady with its auto renew service.

Although he was warned with various emails about his CC info giving him time to change it or cancel, so it is somewhat his fault too.
