live starter kit experation?

I am going to buy an xbox soon (1-2 months from now) and I know That
Microsoft is going to rais the price on the starter kit by that time. So my
question is if I buy the started kit now will it expire before i get to use
it? Or could I install it on a friends xbox then put it on a memory card and
when i get my xbox make it a permentant account on my xbox?

Your not going to have to do anything. They are going to charge your
credit card as soon as it expires. You only need to do something if you
_dont_ want to renew.

The card I used to activate my account is no longer valid, I wonder how they
will deal with that. I imagine when I try to log I will probably get a
window notifying me that I need to renew and promt me enter in a new CC #.
