XBL Gold membership price drop only for a limited time

Better hurry if you want to get a lower annual fee rate for the Xbox Live Gold membership. True that subscription rates are lower on Xbox. com, but Microsoft says this is only “for a limited time”.

According to a Microsoft rep,

We are currently running a promotion in-dash that gives Silver members a special opportunity to upgrade to the full benefits of Gold membership at a reduced price for a limited time. While there are occasional price promotions offered for our service, we’re confident our 12-month Gold members realize the tremendous entertainment value provided for just over US$ 4 per month.

As it stands, the XBL Gold membership is being offered at just US$ 39.99. Some would say, however, that according to their computation, it’s not much of a deal anyway. What say you?
