Xbox Live Gold account users used to have their annual subscription automatically renewed by Microsoft, but the newly-revamped Xbox.com lets your membership die a natural death.
It's a welcome change, as the auto renewal always struck us as egregiously money-grubbing. Forcing a user to phone a customer services rep to stop the annual fee being automatically swiped from his or her account just isn't cool, Microsoft.
You can now toggle automatic renewal on or off, and this isn't the only change Microsoft has made to its site. It now features Beacons, a function that allows you to mark the games you'd like to play online with friends most. Feeling like some Modern Warfare 3 or FIFA 12 this week? Tag them with Beacons and your buddies will know you're up for some fragging/ball-kicking action.
As Eurogamer reports, the new site, which has also had a bit of a visual overhaul (and more closely resembles the user interface of Windows Phone 7 as a result), also lets you search for movies and TV shows when using the Zune in-browser video streaming service. It has been updated in light of the upcoming Xbox 360 autumn dashboard upgrade.
