So, MS seems to still be dicking me around, can I get anything out of it?

Very odd, I had no trouble cancelling once. You might have to write to them to get some sort of compensation though.

I shouldn't have to write, or call. This is the 21st century, is it that hard to have a "cancellation" button on your Xbox.com account or on the Xbox360 account information?

They give you the option to extend your subscription but make you jump through multiple bullshit hoops just to get rid of it.

If I wrote them something now it would look something like this '*@*$%$*$(%&@@%*$ #%&@^$^!!! $Y#^&^#^#^"

Translation:

Dear XBOX

Please cancel my XBOX Live silver, I no longer want to pay for it.  If you charge me after Jan 1, 2009, I will be forced to take legal action.

Yours truly,

But really, it is weird how you can extend your XBL at the drop of a hat, but cancelling it is hard.  But that's with any kind of service.  Cancelling any subscription is too hard.
