FIFA 2005 Xbox Live pack £19.99 at HMV (includes 12 month code for use with 360)

Options
As per title I've just bought the FIFA 2005 Xbox Live pack in HMV for £19.99.

Includes code for 12 months Xbox Live so that alone is a saving of £20 on the 'normal' cost and you also get the game and headset to sell on or use with Xbox.

12 month code works with both Xbox and Xbox 360.
MFW 2015 #41 = £20,515/£20,515
MFW 2014 #41 = £26,100/£25,000
MFW 2013 #41 = £10,000/£10,000
Original MF date = May 2036 - MF achieved on 15 June 2015

    Have you tried the game on the xbox 360 and does it work and have you tried the code on the 360 and can you confirm it works also.

    I am new to all this is this the gold or silver 12 month sub?

    Thanks in advance.

    Game won't work....yet but that may change. I'm going to pass on the game and headset anyway.

    Code works fine and offers half price Live for a year which will do me fine. :)

    Hi JCL thanks for the info above.

    Just a wee bit confused where you say offers half price live.

    Can you confirm that the xbox live segment of it is either silver or gold for 360 ?

    Is it half price live as if you buy this package your getting the package at £20 from hmv where as full price from msoft is £40?

    Sorry I am just a wee bit niave at these sort of things.

    it'll be the gold membership - silver xbox live is free but does not allow you to play online, only to message and talk to friends and browse the "marketplace".

    trust me, the gold membership is well worth a purchase. I've been using xbox live for about 15 months and it is so much fun.

    Normal cost of 12 months Live 'Gold' (which as above is really the only one worth bothering with) is £39.99.

    This pack at £19.99 includes a code which when entered gives you the same 12 months so half the price plus you get game and headset included which you can pass on. :)

    Playing on Live adds so much to the games that I can't imagine not having it. One of the great things about the original Xbox and now the Xbox 360.

    Just tried 5 hmv stores in glasgow (breahead, sauchihall st, clydebank, east kilbride snd argyll st) and all are saying not in stock and £60 to get once it comes in stock.

    Wonder if its only at selected branches?

    I got one in Leeds the other day (Could only see one, unsure if they have more in the stockroom) but it had a 'April Sale' barcode on it and also the £19.99 price over the £59.99 sticker!

    It is a great bargain, basically BOGOF on XBox live!

    I got mine in Princes Street, Edinburgh store.

    They also had the Project Gotham Racing 2 Live pack with 12 month code for £39.99 but buy one get one free. They only had one in. Suppose if you buy two it works out the same.

    cheers jcl for letting everyone know though guess people in glasgow area were not lucky enough to get any, one store forget which one know said they had not had any in stock since 2004.

    Ah well you win some you lose some thanks again though for letting everyone know :)
