Bungie Pro - Last Chance to Buy!
Computron reminds you that today is the last purchase Bungie Pro; if you don't have it, but would like access to 24 slots and 5 minutes/month, buy it now. (If you HAVE it, they will not be disabling any features for accounts that expire after today, so there's no need to RENEW unless today's your expiration date.)
