Xbox Live for FREE? eBay Auction!

Hi guys,

**first post on this amazing forum**

I recently came across the following auction here:
http://!!!!!!.com/4bepx

it offers *information* (as with about 90% of eBay auctions these days >:( ) on how to recieve the xbox live online gaming service for free.

Nothing in this world is free, and xbox live costs about £5 per month, so is this 'scam' a risk worth taking?

The seller has some odd feedback about the same product too...

CAN ANYONE HELP?

Many thanks,

ehosin

    This is a scam, if you did some searching you could probably find this information for free.

    Avoid at all costs, there is a lot of this link selling going on at the moment, and report the seller for selling a link which is against e-bay rules.

    HTH :)

    Yes I agree with Divadee, If it is too Good to be true then it usually is! Post a thread in the "I wanna" board or the freebies one to see if anyone can give you the info?!

    I know how to get xbox live for free, well... sort of. I'm sure the information you would have received would have been about the various xbox link up sites/programs around on the web.

    I'm a member of one such site called xlink kai, and it is totally free. It's not xbox live but lots of people with xbox's use it. Great for Halo 2 multiplayer. ;D

    O yeah, the tunnelling programs... Ive always used xbc and xlink but I never thought it could have been those programs that he's selling...

    I think i'll report him for (1) Selling freely available software and (2) ripping people off by doing (1)
