Some Live accessory questions...

Hey guys, just have a couple questions as its almost time for me to re-up my subscription.

1. Is there any place you can recommend buying the 12 month gold subscription from other then GS? I saw it was 50 at GS and 40 at BB. I wanna try to get the best deal possible.

2. Do you recommend any 3rd party mics? I've used the microsoft one but end up having to get a new headset every couple of months, either the headset breaks and is not wearable or the wires give out. I have thought about investing in Turtle Beaches but I don't know if I'd like voice and game in one piece. Is there anyone who can shed light on the quality of the TB's and if its difficult to hear teammates?

Thanks ppl.

The cheapest I've seen the 12 months locally is at Costco. They were selling them for $30.

If you want to invest in a non MS mic I would recommend the turtle beach ones. Especially if you play online games. There great for MW2 and such. You can hear when anyone is around you trying to sneak around. There actually some of the best mics you can get on the 360s atm.
