    If you buy direct from Microsoft you'll pay £40 for the year, but you can get it from around £26 upwards on-line.

    Unfortunately as I'm at work at the moment, they block a lot of sites, so I can't point you in the direction of legitimate sites.

    The one I've used in the past is Live-codes, but it is a couple of pounds dearer than the post above. The code is e-mailed through to you, usually within a few minutes.

    Ebay is by far the cheapest for this, never use your credit card online with the xbox itself as microsoft have a habit of just renewing your membership even when you have asked them not too.
    When buying from Ebay if you really want the code instantly do check the feedback as several say instant and a lot of people complain about not receiving it for days, something i always do is use the "ask a question" and just ask is it really instant, if they reply sharpish it means they are online and you should get your code staright away
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    Have bought two lots of 12 months on there in the past, and a three month one for my brother for his birthday. would thoroughly recommend it. £26 is a decent present for someone compared to the £40 Tesco/Microsoft etc charge!
    GREENS M'SHIP OFFER NOW CLOSED SO PLEASE DON'T ASK ME!
    Olympic Debt-free Challenge £2150/£11900 = 18.0%
    NOW INVESTIGATING AN ALTERNATIVE TO MY IVA - I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ONE ANY MORE!
