I never authorized it, and only provided my card information for the initial free trial back in 2007 I think, and yet, for some reason, they didn't start taking my money until 2009. I only found out because my bank notified me that I only had $3.00 left in the account.

So no matter how much Sony screws up, I still hate Microsoft more; they stole from me intentionally.
Live has a retarded opt-out auto-renewal system. :{ You have to phone them up and request that the auto-renewal stops. It is an annoyance. They hope it'll just be more bother for people to phone up and cancel, than to pay the subscription fee.
