I was at my local Toys R Us today to see what they had for those recent markdowns and saw that they had the 12 month live cards for 19.95 and also the 3 month starters for 9.95. I'm not sure if the Original XBL 12 Month cards work with 360, I assume they should, so this could be a great deal. I didn't see this posted in the forums so I thought I would bring it to light. May be a YMMV but I wouldn't think so since it would seem to be a product that they are trying to move out.

That's interesting. Although, I tried a 2-month-free-trial original Xbox live coupon on a 360 and didn't work.

Anyone care to confirm this?

It works if you have an existing 360 account.

It works if you have an existing 360 account.

So does that mean you already have to be paying to get this to work or can I use this to up my silver to a gold?

You either have to transfer the account from your original Xbox or already be a paying member I do believe.

so will this work on a regular xbox? i'm desperate to get my xbox live again since my subs ended a couple months ago. would anyone would be willing to pick up an extra one for $25 or so through payal? lcosest TRU's are over an hour away and i highly doubt they have any left

I have one, but am still not certain whether or not I can add this to my 360 live account (this card is intended for the original xbox live). Some say no, it won't work, others say it will, while others say that it will override my current subscription. And I got the card like two weeks ago btw(im pretty sure this deal was posted before as well), so this is probably a clearance price.

There are like 3-4 Xbox live 12 month cards, 12 month starter kits, and 3 month starter kits each at the Tally TRU.

07-24-2006, 09:52 PM
I can confirm this works. My details:
bought 360, set up XBOX live account (not a previous xbl user), got free gold month trial.
bought a 12 month from TRU and applied it, and got a year of gold.
The cards at my TRU were not properly marked (none of this stuff was) but it all rang up at the right price at the register. The headset + card + crimson skies will ring up at 29, 3 months 9.98.

This deal has already been mentioned in this thread:
http://cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100517

The cards do work on the 360. I bought one and used it without a problem. As far as overwriting your current subscription, it changes the name of your Membership to whatever type of card you used last. If you use a 12 + 1 card, it'll say 12 + 1, for example. But, it just tacks on extra time to your expiration date.

So you already had a gold account and you added it on to that correct?

Dont they have an expiration date on them? I know the 2-3 month trial ones do....


Would I be able to add additional time to my Live account? Like I have 6 months left on my 360s Live gold account, could I purchase this activate it now and extend it for another 18 months?

yep, that's what they're for (for 360 users, anyway)!

07-24-2006, 11:34 PM
we have confirmation...

i went to my local TRU and they had 1 left. i wanted a second to really fatten up my subscription, so i wandered into Sears, since my buddy and i were gonna check out the clearance games anyway (picked up WarioWare Twisted for 9.97). took me 15 minutes of "i need a manager's approval" and "i don't think we can match this" to get them to stick to THEIR OWN price-match policy, but as evidenced below, i got my Live card.

even though Sears offers a match +10% policy, it ended up being 16.98 before tax. that extra dollar off paid for the 15 minute trying-to-get-me-to-give-up period, so i'm happy.

don't know if the scan will be of any use to anyone, but here they are:

Went to ToysRus and picked up 2 12 month-Xbox Live/Crimson Skies bundles for $29.98 a piece. Does anybody know if these expired yet? Will they ever expire? And can I just add them on the Xbox Live service extender on the dashboard?

God, this has been covered a million times. If you have a 360 with a gold account, THEY WILL work. If its expired, call 1-800-4MYXBOX and tell them, they'll activate it.

If you still have a regular xbox, it WILL work. If its expired, same as above...

Wait...so let me get this straight.

If I already have a gold membership on the X360 with my gamertag which I only use for the X360, than I can just buy one of these cards (assuming I find one) and just punch in the code at the XBL menu on the X360 and it'll work?

12 months DO NOT expire. It'd be kind of stupid for them to make you buy a 3 month or 12 month just for you to find out they are expired. Only the 2 months expire cause... they are free...

I have a ton over at my TRU. They were over where the accessories for Xbox are. Two full rows of them. I may end up buying quite a few and tacking on to my XBL subscription.

If somebody needs one, let me know... I think I'm going to head there either tommarow or Thursday after work. I have PayPal and can just email you the code.

Now I know why there are all those eBay auctions for these things.

went to 2 TRU's over 1+ hr drives away. only had 1 month and 3 month cards. no games on clearance either. was looking for PSP games and cheapes tgame they had was Frantix for 9.99. i passed on it. also went to Target and no games cheaper than 19.99,. oh well kind of a waste of an afternoon, driving around in this 80+ degree weather

I picked up some 12-month Xbox Live Cards today for other CAGs since they seemed to be in hot demand. I PMed a few people I noticed earlier who wanted them, but if they back out or don't need them anymore, PM me to get on the waiting list. $25 cash or money order or $26 PayPal (to cover PP fees). That will let me break even considering gas here is going for $3.40 a gallon.

Yes. Just make sure you use them BEFORE you transfer your acount to be a 360 account, or else it won't work.

I picked up two cards at TRU for $20 two weeks ago, added a year to each my bf's and my account the same day we bought our 360. Used one of our Xboxes to add the cards on to our existing accounts, then did the whole process of moving them to the 360. Worked fine.

Then went to Sears they had the XBOX 12 month with the pouch for $49.99. But had the girl price check the communicator and Crimson Skies 12 month package and it was 29.99. So I grabbed it.

I also picked up Psychonauts for 15.00...with all the praise it gets I had to have it.

Used the 5.00 off any purchase 25.00 or more and 31.76 later I'm home :D

Just wanted to confirm that Sears has the 12 month live kits with the headset and full version of Crimson Skies for $29.99. I just got one and entered it into my 360 - now I'm good with live until March 2008 :D

The box was marked $39.99 so I asked if they could price match TRU - but when they rung it up it came up as $29.99 so no price match necessary.

better than that, both receipts show the full UPC for the 12 month sub card, so you're covered. the full package w/headset is apparently 29.99 already at Sears (YMMV), so if you wanted that anyway, you wouldn't have to bother with a price match.

Thanks alot all your blood i appreciate your help.

no problem, glad to do it. just keep in mind that depending on how friendly and/or intelligent your local Sears sales team is, you might come home w/ a 12 month kit, or empty-handed w/ a pissed off look on your face. if they hesitate, be firm but polite, and only lean on them if they give you no other choice. i had to be a little persistent; fifty-cent words help a bit too, if you've got a stubborn but slow-witted sales clerk to battle; run circles 'round 'em! ;)

I would be willling to pay someone $25 with paypal if they could pick one of these up for me. My subscription comes up in October and my Toys R' Us was out. Much thanks in advance if anyone could do this for me.

No 12 mo. cards or kits at my nearest TRU. But, I picked up the last two 3 mo. kits with the headset and demos for $9.99 each. At least that gets me through til Christmas and my bro needed a headset and to hook up his original Xbox anyway.

Thanks OP.

Are the $19.99 cards in a clear plastic case with a black pouch at the bottom of it? Cause Ive never seen them at my TRU. The Sears by me had a few of these but they were $49.99. So I picked up the Crimson Skies package for $29.99 at Sears. I wanted to add another year with the $19.99 card .So if these are the rite cards what are the chances Sears would pricematch someones receipt from TRU that they posted on here?

What will clear it up is the SKN # from the receipt, just for S&G's, so we know what to look for if they have to check via SKN #.

well, really most people just wanted to know what it looked like, as it was obvious that many people were trying to buy the 360-styled card. also, TRU can look it up using the UPC from the receipt scan i posted back in post #23 (UPC is 805529511170, by the way). lastly, the SKN is 090339. now, let's put that hooker to sleep! ;)

They'll prefer to look it up via SKN #, which is why I was asking for it.

Thanks for the info. Greatly appreciated.

And with that, it just saved me driving all over the area, since I was told that no one had any in stock. :bomb: Well, fuck, that's annoying. Guess no luck for me on that one. Oh well.

i had the 1st TRU i went to call the second. the second stated that they had no more cards. later the next day, i went in and they had a few sitting out in plain view. didn't mean much to me by then, since i'd spent some time getting Sears to price-match.

if your TRU guys are cool, they actually checked and gave you an honest answer. if not, there's probably a brand-fresh row of cards hanging up with no one to buy them. not that i recommend driving out to each one; just that, from my experience, someone might just be BS'ing to get off the phone.

The rep I spoke with on the phone was at Customer Service instead of the RZone, since that would cut down on the knowledge of what they were and their perceived value. She read off the correct description, and went through the other stores one at a time, saying none were in stock. I also double-checked it at another TRU and it came up the same way there.

I'll swing by one on the way home and have them check in-person and see if I get the same result, since there's one on the way home that isn't out of the way at all.

not sure if it has been mentioned, but I got a Starter Kit with Crimson Skies for $29.99 at my local TRU. It had no clearance marking or anything, it just rang up for that price.

The question is-- can I pricematch my receipt at other stores? If someone can please let me know quickly, I'd appreciate it. Thanks :)

I picked up one card for $20 from another TRU. Got a lucky price match at Sears--the receipt just said Xbox Live 12 months, so I matched it to some 360 gold cards. I now have Xbox Live till June 2009 (adding on to other years.)

mine said $16 too. excuse my slowness and poor math skills but wouldn't a price match be (roughly): $20 - 10% = $18?. where's that magical dollar coming off from? i'm not complaining, as noted in my previous posts, but i just found it odd. is their regular price $30? 'cause i thought it was $50. hrm...

Went to Toysrus only had the 3 month cards and they were $39.99. I tried going to Sears and they were sold out of the Crimson Skies packages that I picked 1 up for $29.99 last time. Tried using the receipt post on the 2nd page and told them another Sears price matched TRU and that TRU had it for $19.99. The kid I think faked calling TRU cause they had him on hold for 5 mins and they said it must be in stock there for them to price match. The TRU is like 100 ft from the Sears so they knew that didnt have it there. Cause why would I go thru all the trouble if they had it had TRU.

Manager was a real b. She said I'm not giving you something for $19.99 thats worth $49.99. And told me some kind of code was missing from the receipt I got from an earlier post.

If I go to BB or CC what is the chance they will price match the Sears receipt on here. Can someone post a TRU receipt that has the price on it? Will that help at all? I never really price match stuff so I'm not familiar with stores price match policies.
