The cheapest official avenue is renewing it for free with Microsoft Rewards. ;) But yes, if you don't want to do any stupid human tricks and would rather just pay money instead, you're probably correct.

Those are super low prices for Ultimate. Strange. Maybe subscriber numbers are lower than they were hoping in those regions....

No, it's said it has to do more with the local currency and consumer spending power rather than a change in strategy. The price of Xbox Live Gold is also dropping in those 3 regions.

Exchange rates, no. The article already shows the conversions to USD. The prices are well below what they are in the US when converted. Purchasing power, maybe. But, Hong Kong is "rich", so I don't know about that either.

I tend to agree with you that local conditions, such as annual incomes and the cost of competing services, predominantly affected this. Perhaps currency exchange may have played a small role, in that it may have affected how low Microsoft was willing to go in adjusting for local incomes.

Maybe. No way to really know. MS hasn't released their numbers in a long time now. Which IMO isn't a good sign but could be nothing.
