Yeah if you just "let it expire" they renew it automatically.

You actually have to cancel it for them to stop renewing.

[Finch]

You have to call them up and tell them no several times.

Not true. You can just turn off automatic renewal on the web site now.

[Glass Joe]

Not to mention that if you don't use your credit card they can't renew shit.

I get an error message every time I try this. MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not as straight forward as it should be. There was an interim step I had to do, but I don't recall what it was.

On Xbox.com, do the following:

- Go to "My Account"
- Click "Membership Level" on the left links column
- Click "Automatic Renewal" under your subscription status
- Sit through 3 pages of MS begging you not to leave.
- Done!

I purchased my first Wii Virtual console game yesterday Castlevania 3. I connected my NES deck and inserted my original Castlevania 3 cart to compare. It was a pain to get my NES deck out of the closet, hook it up and it took some work to get the Castlevania 3 cart to work. The game froze up on me on stage 2.

I have had no such problems playing Castlevania 3 on Wii Virtual console. The emulation on VC seems perfect I never did play through the whole game on my NES but I have gotten far on the Wii VC it is fun. My genesis, snes and N64 still work fine and the games usually boot up on the first try so I am still on the fence about buying genesis, snes and N64 VC games.

For NES titles and rare expensive games or japanese imports the VC will be my console of choice. Alien Soldier, Gunstar Heroes, Super C, Ninja Gaiden 1, 2, 3, Castlevania 1 , 2 and Kirby's Dreamland will be mine now I have to go out and get a Wii classic controller.

Buy Gley Lancer for Genesis. It's an awesome import shooter. Super Fantasy Zone is great as well.

Unfortunately not if you have a Zune Pass. For some reason they're tied together and they'll auto renew your XBL sub if you're using a CC to pay for the pass every month.
