I'm so happy about this! I'm even happier about the fact that I had the subscription for free already (from DreamSpark) and now I can keep my apps (which I will start building soon, hopefully) pretty much like forever! xDD

Nice! :cool:

Talk about perfect timing! Mine was up to renewal on the 19th, in two days. Due some real life issues related to ex-wife I am currently not able to use my PayPal so logged today in to my dev account in order to change the payment method. Got the info, came here to post it but noticed Brink had been faster :).

Nice surprise. Thanks MS!
