| I am a die hard Xbox 360 fan. I play an average of 20 hours a week. And that is mostly weekend time. I also work 40 hours a week and cook dinner every night for my wife. So I'm not just some kid that stays home and plays video games all the time. Amazon, like usual has the best prices anywhere. Especially for the Gold Card subscription. You get one month free so it's even a better deal. And don't listen to the people that gave it a one star review because they scratched to hard and rubbed off the numbers. On the card I received, it had a pull tab that was easy to use and I was clearly able to read the numbers without scratching anything off. So until someone beats this price, which I doubt, I'm always going to renew my subscription by buying it from Amazon. |

| The same card is $50.00 + tax at walmart and target. Nothing more needs to be said! I have a few issues with Xbox Live, but that is between me and microsoft. While microsoft has its issues, its the only game in town. So if you want to play Xbox Live, and you really don't have a choice, you might as well pay the least to play. What it all boils down to is Amazon sells these card for less that everybody else! |

| Not much to tell, it gives you 13 months of Xbox Live Gold. Way better than entering your credit card into your Xbox and having to jump through their hoops to get it taken off. |

| If you can get this for under $49.99 then it is a great value. You can't find this on sale much in the local store. It is a better value than renewing online since you get the extra month free with the card code (13 months for the price of 12). Make sure you put the code in online a little before your current subscription expires so that it will become effective on the day your subscription expires. Great Value!! |

To sum it up quick, this is the best deal you can purchase for Xbox Live.
Here is a quick breakdown:
1 month via Microsoft = $7.99 = $7.99/month
3 months via Microsoft = $19.99 = $6.66/month
12 months via Microsoft = $49.99 = $4.17/month
12+1 months via Amazon = $45.00 = $3.46/month
This card comes with THIRTEEN (13) months of Xbox Live for cheaper than directly from Xbox. I fully recommend purchasing Live via Amazon, but the choice is yours. |

I spent quite a bit of time reading the reviews for this Gold Card. The single biggest problem I read about was how people needed to scratch off the back of the card to access the 25-digit code needed to activat it. If a person scratched too hard, the code became unreadable and the card was no good. There was supposibly no way retrieve the numbers once they were illegible. When my card arrived, I was expecting to have to go through this process. But to my plesant surprise, all I had to do was PEEL BACK a piece of perferated strip from the back of the card. No scratching involved at all. Maybe due to so many complaints, they decided to fix the problem and make it easier. Who knows, but at least I did not distroy the card or scratch so hard the numbers became unreadable.
Another concern I had was WHEN to use this card. I only used about 1 week of my "Free One Month Gold Membership" that came with my new X-Box 360. Should I risk renewing now and possibly loosing my remaining 3 "free" weeks included in my month long trial? Or should I wait until the free month is almost over and use my card then? I have read that if you let your month expire, all the stuff you have accumilated on that user profile is gone. You will have to start over from scratch. I decided to take a chance and use my card the next day. After I followed the simple instruction on my card, and entered the 25-digit code on my 360, I got an email from the email address I used to register with. It stated that I had extened my memberhsip until October 15 of 2009. Since my origional membership WOULD HAVE expired on September 15, and the card I purchased was for 13 Months, that would put me at October 15, 2009. So for anybody who is worried that the Gold Membership will not let your trial month "run out" before it activates, dont worry about it. You wont loose any time. It will run concurrently with your free month, or any membership you already have, before it activates.
The only other complaint I have seen in regards to this card is how long it takes to recieve it from Amazon. This I cannot really help with because I use Amazon Prime. I spend enough money with Amazon, and do enough of my shopping through them, that Amazon Prime is just about the only way to go for me. Expecially since I live in a rural area and do not have alot of the electronic stores or discount outlets you would normally find in larger cities. I can tell you this: It took me 4 days to get my card. Normally Amazon Prime has everything at my doorstep within 2 days. I was not too worried becasue I still had 3 weeks left on my trial membership. But if I did NOT use Amazon Prime, or if I only had a couple days left before my membership expired, I might have considered purchasing it locally for the extra money. So my advice is to either buy early and expect the longer than usual delays, or go Prime and get it within 4 days.
With the price of this card being about 10 dollars cheaper then Wal-Mart, and also giving you the extra month for free, this card is definately worth the money. ANYBODY who already has Amazon Prime would be a fool to buy this card at the store. If you DONT have Prime, and your membership will expire soon, maybe it would be better to get it at your local store and eat the difference in price. But for me and MY experience, I could not have asked for a easier time. That is why I am giving this review 5 Gold Stars. I hope this review helps.

Xbox LIVE is by far the best online gaming service available. The interface is smooth, and hooking up with friends to play is a breeze. My only real complaint is the number of 13 year old without a filter.
It's the most annoying thing you can imagine. |

| Hi, I purchased this gold card for my bf's xbox elite gaming system and he was very pleased that he was able to go right from the box to getting online and playing. My one complaint is that if you have a goldcard and you buy the elite which comes with a 30 day free membership also, you should use the free memebership first. Which isnt a problem but they should tell you. Its just a hassle once you have created your profile, you have to redo the process. Thats my only complaint. He had no problems using the card and is very pleased with the service. |
