I wanna - Xbox live code needed

Anyone have a trial I could have? Any length of time, just to give me time to buy one. My son has just announced his subscription has expired!! :mad:

If you have a code that is about to expire, it would be much appreciated! Or any advice on best buys just now?

TIA

    I got mine (12 month gold) off eBay... £29 and got the seller to email me the code.

    You can get it for about £20 if you can find an American seller who'll email it to you, but it's worth asking the seller if the codes he/she's selling work on UK accounts.

    Amazon & Play sell it for £34.99. Game sell it for £39.99

    Toys-r-us sell Xbox Live Starter kits with 12 month subscription and Forza MotorSport for £19.99, a bargain way of getting a Gold Sub.

    Hi Lisa

    Went to toys-r-us tonight & no luck :( (Glasgow) I also emailed some ebay sellers, they either haven't replied or won't email the code.

    Think I'll need to go with amazon. Running out of time, am getting moaned at more and more by my 14 year old with live withdrawl symptoms!! ... and it's his own blinkin fault, he waits till it's expired to tell me!! :mad:

    Ok, still not got this damn subscription, you can imagine what my life's like here with a 14 year old minus xbox live!!

    My question is, do all Halo 2's come with a subscription or is it only special editions? Oh and same question for other old games that had subscriptions!

    Thanks

    A :o

    Does anyone know if xbox live and x box 360 live are the same thing. Only my son has a 360 and he wants to buy the subscription so am interested to see the replies.
    Thanks
  • My hubby has just bought a starter pack Xbox (standard not 360) with headphones and a game and a 12 month code for xbox live (and it works with the xbox 360) for £14.99 at the local Bennetts store (don't know if you have one near you but all electrical stores are worth a try). It definately was not an xbox 360 pack- just the normal xbox pack and he is playing the game live on line!! Wey Hey! Go searching!
