4yrs or 60k miles. Just like wiper blades, the rubber belts can oxidize, causing the rubber material to dry rot.

Like I said before, it's fine if they're cracked. If you have other symptoms (like noise, glazing, threads coming loose), then I would replace.

I would take belts too, but I already bought my set from Peninsula Infiniti a few months back - they're waiting to be installed, and the belt tension gauge I bought is waiting to be used

Hmmm. drive belts are recommended to be changed at 30K. So I did Rachel's drive belt about 33k, it looked like brand new. I thought it was a waste of my time and money to replace the old belt prematurely.

I bought mine from Riverside Infiniti for something like $35 for both. They've been waiting for me to install them. I'm going to get to it this weekend.
