Yes, regardless of whether or not you're committed to 2 years of Xbox LIVE or not, at the end of 12 months you've still only paid $278.88. The math isn't that hard, a third grader can do it. I even included the spread sheet output at the end of my post.
At the end of one year you'll have $81.10 in the bank over buying it outright.
You're still committed to the 2 years, but it takes another 10 months before buying it outright costs less. In the mean time, in those previous 21 months, the $245.99 difference paid on day one can be used to work for you. Either to pay other bills, or earn interest.
