Cheapest way to get 12 months of Live?

Paranoid_Robot · 3 Jul 2008 at 22:12

Cheapest I can get it is for £34.98 but I've heard some people here have got it on an auction site for cheaper. Is it possible to get it cheaper than this?

I've already subscribed to Live before and I've heard the original Xbox ones don't work, which is the ones I have seen going for cheap online.

I know you can't name competitors, but if you can point me in the right direction...

I got mine from ebay but apparently some codes are dodgy. It's definitely cheapest there.

Not sure where I'll get my next one after hearing about the above.

Yeah, that doesn't sound too great

Funnily enough the seller who gave me mine cropped up as being dodgy :eek:

So far, so good mind!

There's a seller who will email the code who is selling them for $44.99 with 7943 feedback (mostly positive).

I got 13 months for £22.50 from the bay, worked/works fine but roughly 2 days later the buyer got removed from ebay :d.

I got mine from the 'bay, it was about £35 IIRC and came with Uno. Need to grab another 12 months soon though, sub ends in about 4 weeks! :eek:

I'm looking at a similar seller from the USA and he's got it at that price buy it now. He's had no negative feedback with the Xbox Live subscription and everything looks legit so I think I'll go ahead and buy one of these because it's a great price.

I'd say search on google for "jasper1675" i get mine from him, 13 months for £25.

Buy them off ebay but ask for the code to be sent on the card posted. You will still save money but have the card to know your not buying some code from a keygen.

I asked him to email it, is it risky not getting it sent?

Stumbled across this recently

Will invest when finances allow - reliable I assume?

Yeah ordered 3 from him so far, for me and mates, he's reliable.

just remember if its cheap and they can't send you a card, its generated by a keygen and there is a chance you can get kicked off Live.
I brought one off the bay cheap, but after talking to someone on here (sry forgot who you are again) who got banned for using a key-gen'd code, I'm not gonna risk it next year.

I was giving this site site by someone one here earlier. Seems to be saver than using ebay as I brought some PSN points off here before. Plus I heard that ebay are clamping down on people selling LIVE,PSN, and Wii points. Not sure if it true though.

Bought some Ms points off them at the weekend, worked fine

I'd just like to point out for everyone, the countries biggest supermarket chain does 2100 points for a lot less than that site (and most other places), in-store and on-line

Errr...I think the live codes are now region locked so a USA code wont work on a UK account and vice versa.

I emailed the seller for a refund as I have read people having trouble with that. I also read about some of them working but I'm not going to take the chance. He hasn't sent it yet anyway and he has a 30 day refund policy so it should be fine.

I've been put off buying these codes now. I was going to buy one from jasper1675 but if they stop working because they are off a keygen then I won't bother.
