Windows 8 Dev Account for $8 - next 8 days - Dev Unlock your WP7

[SYNACK]

Windows Phone 8 is out, the tools are available, and devices are about to be released—it’s time to get coding. As an added incentive, for the next 8 days individual developers can register for a Dev Center account for just $8 (a 92 percent savings). Please note because this is a very limited time offer. You’ll be charged $99 USD or equivalent in your local currency, and we’ll refund the difference in the next 30 to 45 days. Watch for more details on Dev Center soon.

Pretty sure this is for WP7-8 and W8 stores so a pretty good deal for $8, silly about the cashback method though.

Sounds like a great deal, but what happens after the first year? Do you get charged $8 or $99?

By that stage you'll probably either be making money off it or have given up on it so it will be a different concern. However it would probably be the $99.

Just signed up for it:

Took about 10 minutes to sign up in order to do free apps, can fill in the tax forms and pay out account if I get around to doing much with it. You can developer unlock three phones, down from 5 but a really cheap way to get full access to your WP7 or 8 device all legal like. Sure it stung my CC for NZD $140 initially but should end up at about NZD $12 (price of a foot long Subway Sandwich) in a week or so.
