    this will really work, if this really does work then i will do this tonight :) hehe
    could you just give me a quick insight on the process of the call please if you can.

    thanks in advance

    Edit: and when did you do this

    II D2 II

    I did this when I got my Xbox 360 back in Jan last year. I just ordered a xbox starter kit off of eBay (The big black box with the xbox headset in it) for £20. On the Xbox Live website they were stating at the time the xbox Live memberships were being transfered over to Gold membership on the Xbox 360. If I remember right I just called xbox Live and gave them the activation code from the card in the box and they set it up for me, 12 months Gold membership.

    I gave the same advise to another user on the xbox forums at the end of last year and he said it worked then too. The problem you might have is finding the old 12 month starter kits these days. If you do find one cheap you can call the xbox live team and confirm if they are still doing the transfers over the phone.

    Hope that helps.

    I can refer you to a company that gives codes via email, theres no charge but it does require you to fill out surveys and such like!


    If you get a utility like roboform and put all your personal info in that, you can just autofill alot of the questions

    When you get a new xbox 360 and set up a new user account you get 1 month free trial anyway, so your friend can try it for free.

    As far as I can remember each XBOX can do 5 "free" months from new usernames.
    DS2 has done this when he was skint and saving up for a gold membership:rolleyes:. It gave him a chance to try out even weirder usernames:D.
