best price on xbox live 12 mo starter kit

Sorry if this is a repost or in the wrong forum.

I am looking for the Xbox live starter kit with the 12 mo card, headset and Crimson Skies (or whatever game they include).

The best price I can find is 69.99 at BB, CC, TRU and Gamestop.

I saw some cheaper at Amazon, but it ends up costing the same after shipping.

I remember these things being around 60 bucks when they first came out. Are there any places to get this cheaper?

Thanks

I'd go with Ebay. There are plenty of sealed sets for sale for less. Check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I ended up getting it from Sam's club for $55.

I have Comcast cable, which has the same or a similar deal with Showtime, but I didn't want to have to wait for so long to get it.

I have another question-

I have a 2 month free trial card from Halo 2 that I have not activated but it has an expiration date that has passed. Can I still activate that? If so, should I immediately activate the 12-month card as well? Will I get 14 months?? Or do I have to wait until the end of the 2 months and then activate the 12 month card?

Sorry if the question has been answered elsewhere.

Thanks

The same exact thing happened to me a month ago when I activated.

Join under the expired Halo card. It will still work. Then, use the 12 months card and you will get 14 months. You don't have to wait.
