$50 year won't break the bank.
Especially when you can get it for only $25 to $30 a year. I'm good until 2012 and I only paid between $25 and $30 a year but getting it when they are on sale.
Just like I only pay $10 to $14 for every 1600 MS points I get. I buy them when they are on sale.
yes yes check everyday for a sale that may happen once every 3 months. Some people like to buy stuff when they want to buy it. Not make it a hobby.

Also you assume everyone is some single loner living in his basement. Even at $25 of you have one account for the parents and they have 3 kids that's 4 XBL gold accounts and that's $100 year even on your bargain hunt. over 6 years that's $600. I could buy 2 more PS3s with that.
No I don't assume a loner. Your average family with a 360 is not going to have four gold accounts. Most will have one or possibly two gold accounts and the rest will be silver accounts.
And besides with one gold accout you can play with multiple people online with that machine. I see it everytime I play multiplayer online. Other people have multiple people playing on one machine under the same account.

And I don't sit here and wait for a sale. When I see a sale going on I buy a bunch of the cards to cover me for a while. they have sales several times throughout the year. With XBL I bought enough to cover me for three years and my girlfriend for one. For points I bought enough to cover me for at least 12 months. Since I use XBL points for music with my ZUNE, videos on the Zune and 360, and games on the 360.
By getting them on sale I save up to 50%. And when I'm talking several hundred dollars, I would rather spend $200 on MS points than $400.
Unless you just like paying the retail price for everything you purchase which would be highly unusual.

Like with Windows 7. Why would I wait to pay the full retail price of Home Premium for $120? I preordered mine during the Summer when they were $50.
