Man, I hate auto-renewals. Sony are bastards for doing this with PS+ as well.
No problem, I'm on the fence to keep it personally.
I've played a lot of games I wouldn't have touched and enjoyed and it's a good excuse to jump into daft multiplayer games with mates.
But for someone with a huge backlog/catalog on Xbox already I'm not desperate but want to support it and see more stuff get into the library.

Almost every service ever that's sub based with trials auto renew once the trial runs out.
Every company is. It's common practice.

For £7.99 a month ill keep it for the next few. Currently playing through Mad Max, DMC and a few others. So I'll get decent value out of it anyway.

Yeah, fair enough. My only experience of it recently was with Sony, hence why I called them out specifically. Happened to my wife a few years ago with Amazon Prime as well.

10c per game. Why cancel?
This.

So everyone knows, the best way to do get auto renew turned off is to call in. it's doable on the console and website, but those options are not as reliable as having someone put hands on your account.

Isn't that the least reliable way because you won't see if the person really does anything and you have no proof of the conversation later on?

actually every call to MS support is logged on your account, it's the best reason to call and have it done because there is a record that says what you called for.
That's good! Where can I find that?

it's a call record that support has access to. when you call, ask them for a case number so you have something for your own records.

The fact that everyone else does it is not an excuse. That's one of the reasons why I never give my credit card information to anyone (also for security reasons obviously).
And how many of these games will you have time to play within a month?
Game Pass imo is a good service for someone who didn't play many games for various reasons and now wants to catch up. If you don't have that much time for video games then you can spend 10 Euro on 1-2 games each month and have them forever.

Game Pass has too many games.

gold on 360 and xb1 are part of your Microsoft account, irrespective of platform. it's the same throughout.

was thinking it'd be soon thanks for the reminder.
Yup. Unless it cancels access to the service, that's why I sign up for the trial then cancel it immediately.

Free trials, that how they get you, they hope you forget. While some people will choose to pay. I'm sure some will totally forget then realize months later they have been paying.
I only own a 360 and get lots of reminders to renew but I never saw it doing it automatically.

It depends on how you signed up. Prepaid card, you get a reminder. Payment method, it autodebits. That is unless you've shut off auto renew manually or called in.
I'm gonna keep it for a month and then take a break. There is a couple of games i want to finish and i just got back into Halo with a friend.
I will resub when they add some more games i want to play. I really like the game pass feature and hope it will take off. I'm much more likely to try a game when i don't have to buy every single one. Lots of missed gems that i now will get to try out.

This is such flawed logic. Going to play over 100 games in 1 month?
Everytime I visit my dad.
Me: Dad why did you buy all these boxes of [insert food here].
Dad: It was on sale.
Me: But when are going to eat it? You don't even like this crap.
Dad: But it was cheap.
Me:...
