  • I bought one off ebay from an American seller. Advertising Xbox Live 12 month subscription... Half the price

    And I get full 12 months gold membership on my 360 :)

  • Ye you should! I was wary like you, and in fact I did a similar post to this one a while back but found that it worked perfectly and I was delighted :) Much cheaper too

    Funny how M$ said that the US ones don't work here but I suppose they have to make their money somehow...Bill has to eat afterall
  • interesting post, my son's xbox 360 live is due for renewal soon how much cheaper are they?
  • they cost about $25 using https://www.ebay.com and finding a 12 months xbox live subscription.

    thats about £13... they cost about £35 in the UK :) So more than a 50% price drop :D

    is the situation the same for the MS points for buying extras??

  • Try your local toys-r-us and look for Forza Motorsport Starter Pack for xbox as this comes with a 12 month sub, its £19.99. Good game as well and as soon as you add the xbox code it becomes a 360 Gold Sub.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    I can't find this pack on-line and we don't have a local Toys R Us.

    You say "starter pack for x-box", does that mean that the game and Gold is £19.99, but you have to buy an Xbox as well?

    D
  • Anyone can buy the starter-pack for £19.99 :) It was made for the xbox classic but the card works as 12 months for the gold on xbox live 360

    EDIT: Buying on ebay is still cheaper ! Saves £5!
