Xbox Live Gold subscription on sale at Amazon for $29.97

You heard it right! Microsoft's Xbox Live Gold subscription, which normally runs $50 annually, is being sold by Amazon right this very instant for $29.97. A similar discount was apparently going on at Buy.com last week, so we're not sure what it all means, but we suppose it could mean that Microsoft might possibly be moving toward a lower price for the subscription (don't hold your breath). We don't really know "why" or "how" this has happened, but it "rules" and we're looking forward to all the extra cash our avatar's going to have in the coming year for new hats and fingerless gloves.

Ah yes Home. Where you can do what again? Stare hopefully at a pool table and know you'll never be able to play? Or maybe go bowling? Oh dear. All occupied. Home is for 2nd life wannabes who finally have something to do with their ps3s for online purposes. I'll take Xbox Live for $50 a year instead of playing ps3 online for free. My ps3 gets played once a month if it's lucky, unless it's a bluray movie. Then weekly.

Anyone see where to find this? I guess the $29 price is gone as it's not found on Amazon anymore.
