Is it worth studying for these since it expires in July?

Studying for the title of "MCITP" is, but studying for the "MCSA" Title isn't. Only the title is expiring. The exams aren't.

Yeah, MCSA: 2008 is expiring but you can go for MCSA: 2012 after the former expires.

If the 5 exam MCITP:EA wasn't required for my degree I would have just went for the 3 exam MCITP:SA since both qualify for MCSA:2008. I think I am going to retire from Microsoft certs (unless required by employer) after I finish my 70-647 next month. Time to start my Cisco path.

I want to do them for completion's sake. I don't need the qualifications for work but I want to know I got 2003, 2008, and 2012. The concepts help me in my job but they don't really care if I have the letters or not. After I get this accomplishment I will also retire from MS and focus on more advanced VMware concepts. I would love to have both of the VCAPs by the end of 2014.

Its only a title. I couldn't care less if the title retires as long as i get all 3 exams at some stage. Employers will still be very impressed no matter what the title.

MCSA 2008 is not expiring. MCITP:SA is. they are just renaming it to MCSA 2008. there are like 10 threads about this.
the MCITP:EA is also expiring, and there is no MCSE 2008.

SO yes studying for MCSA 2008 is worth it.
