Buy the 12 month kit instead of the 3 month. Your per-month average drops considerably plus you get Crimson Skies. The 12 month is usually 69.99. Try going to BB and check some of their game gift cards. They might have a $5 off coupon on the back. Buy the GC for whatever amount then use the GC and coupon towards the starter kit. Then PM me w/your gamertag so I can blow you away.
I know in Canada there was a deal where you could get GR: Island thunder and SCT for 79.99 (good for canadian $). Anyone know if any place still has them in stock?
