MobileMe renewal for $40: good deal, or wait?

If the shop send the key via email the license ll be bought :)

Thanks for posting.
 
Bought a family pack and an individual pack [old version] and had no issue applying the codes at all. Furthermore, mine is not a US account :)
 
They are generally shipped. Which is great because you get the cute little Apple stickers.
 
Just to follow up with everyone, I got my order and it was the "old" boxed version as expected. I went to me.com/activate and entered the number provided in the box and it updated my account for another year... no problems.

Good to hear, this was a deal I couldn't pass up.

Thanks again, I am less than 30 days from auto-renew and wasn't going to pay another $100 (which would have made $800 total!) ... but failed to migrate my life off of MobileMe this year ... again!

Question: what happens to my AppleID (linked to my iTunes account, etc) if I dump MobileMe?

I know you can go to your account in iTunes and change your iTunes ID, so I would do that before you cancel I suppose. I don't know what would happen if you cancel and leave it the same.

I have a feeling there will be a free option in 2011, once the data center is fully operational. Unless the Rebels blow it up.

apple has a million mobile me subscribers who pay ~$99 per year. no way they will make the service free. parts of it maybe but there will always be a premium part that will cost money. i ope with the data center they get the service to actually work reliably and fast. the $40 is a very good price.........
 
I just signed up about 3 weeks ago for MobileMe. The trial expires in January.

does buying the $40+ old version from Amazon override the trial period price of 99 that would kick in at the end of the trial?

I don't want to dinged for both a 99 and then the 40 cost from amazon.

Thanks.

Yes. I just bought this from Amazon and upgraded from a trial. My membership extended until 1 year from the day the trial would have ended.
