Microsoft Xbox LIVE 12 Month Gold Membership (Physical Card)

What is there to say really? Never pay full price for an XBL subscription. Go into your XBL account settings, disable the "autorenew" feature and never pay the full $59.99 for 1 year of XBL again. XBL is an incredible service and worth every penny in my opinion. If you still own your xbox 360 and an xbox one, you get 4 games per month (2 for each console). If you're not taking advantage of this feature, you really should get in the habit of downloading the new games each month. They are yours to keep as long as you download them during the promotional period. In addition, there are many games that go on sale with exclusive pricing for gold subscribers. Unless it is a big title that I feel the need to get my hands on from day one, you can often wait 2-3 months after a game's release and you're sure to see some heavily discounted games promotions. If you're not a gold subscriber - it is worth the discounted price for 12 months of service. If you're in need of a renewal, don't ever pay full price. There is always a good deal on Amazon. The card with the code arrives quickly and keep in mind the membership codes DO STACK. What I mean by that is, let's say you still have 3 months on our current subscription, the 12 month subscription code is added onto your remaining subscription, so your expiration will be pushed back 15 months. It does not override your current subscription, but adds to it, just in case anyone was wondering about that.

Normally I would not 'review' a Membership card but this one bears a closer look. Literally. Not because it did not work. On the contrary, it worked perfectly. It is because it is from, or for, another country. I find that funny because on this web page it says, "This item is not eligible for international shipping". Simple irony. Except for the X-Box logo, name, and the word 'GOLD' on the face of the paper package most everything else, that is in white and green, is NOT in English. There is a white overlay sticker on the section that has restrictions, directions, system requirements, etc.; also the added bar code sticker is in English. (The bar code and number were obscured by the reviewer.) I think it was important to mention since some of you may be getting them and may not want to use them for fear they won't work. The card worked as promised on my son's old X-Box 360. It has been about 4 days now and there have been no problems of any sort. So you can take a peek at the photos I've uploaded for your own amusement and be 99.9% assured that your foreign X-Box Gold card will work in spite of the foreign language. Aren't we just the bon vivant. So 5 Stars for the foreign Gold card that worked as promised even if they promised in another language! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Update April 2016: Absolutely no problems in the past few months of use.

If you're looking for the best deal on Xbox Live then buy the 12 month. It is much cheaper than buying it by the month or 3 month period even if you stop playing for a month here and there. You also only have to buy it once a year so when you get back on to play after a few weeks of not playing Xbox then you don't have to buy another month. I used to pay by the 3 month period because it was less money at once but after realizing that I play at least an hour every week and that the 12 month was cheaper then buying the 3 month subscription 4 times, this is the only one I buy. At the time I bought the physical card because it was a little cheaper I believe which may not be the case now. Paying for the downloadable is simple and can have you playing in minutes after purchasing and receiving the email. I've searched around on Microsoft, Amazon, GameStop, Walmart, Best Buy, and other stores to find a cheaper 12 month subscription. The price is the same almost anywhere so if you have an Amazon gift card it makes purchasing on here that much more tempting.

12 month membership as described. Easy to type code in

I entered the code and it activated promptly. Only thing that could have been better from the product-side of things (not the seller) is that there could have been some instructions on where the code was located, and how to use it. I figured it out on my own, but I could see some people being unsure of what to do. For those interested, here what you do: 1. Open the perforated tab on the back, and then carefully open along the perforated edges up toward the top 2. You should now see a silver rectangle at the top; carefully scratch off the silver coating; may want to do this over a trash can as it can make a mess 3. On your XBOX 360, go to your System > Account Settings and redeem the 25-digit code for XBOX Live.

No me funciona, supongo que si le funcionará al que entró y lo compro por mí ,con mi dinero. A mí no me han devuelto nada

Our son was thrilled to get this for Christmas! Can game with all his friends!!

I'm happy with the product but not happy with price. Didn't realize when I ordered the product that it was marked up almost $40. I will not order this product from Amazon again.

Ok

The fact that I paid nearly 100 dollars for something that is 60 dollars.
