Wow, that is a nice deal, thanks for the heads up. :)

I wonder what the expiration dates on those Live trials will be, since the other ones expire on March 31. Any word if the other games that have that trial will get updated ones too? I bet a lot of retailers will be dealing with "HAY this trial expired!" people soon.

I always wonder what those people use to talk when they take this kinda deals. Microsoft gives out a lot of this 2 months free thing, but they don't come with a headset.
Plus, can this deal be used by existing Live users?

The offer in the splinter cell is dated from 4/01/04-9/30/04

Just picked up SC:PT and got a free one year subscription card. What a deal!! it can be used for a new account or to extend your existing account. Not bad at all..

[Ichabod]

I wonder if I could stack this on top of the two month trial I'm using now which runs out the beginning of April. I guess it depends on whether it's two months free or another two month trial...

[King Bahamut]

I hope you guys know that for the 1 year subscription of X Box live is for 1 out of every 13 copies of the game, all stuck in at random.

[evilmax17]

It's all a lottery. I'd buy the game just for the card (well, not JUST), but I'd probably end up getting a 2 month one, and I wouldn't want to keep returning it until i got a year.

Yeah, it all depends on if you get a two month trial or not. The two month trial is only for new subscribers, so you can't stack them. However, if you get a two month extension, then anyone should be able to use it. I just used my two month trial and immediately used my 12 month subscription. It appears as though they stacked, but honestly I'm not totally positive they did. I'm going to have to call Microsoft soon to confirm that they did.

where did u find this?

[Requiem]

That's a lot of work. I'm too lazy for snail mail.

[whiteboy]

i only got the 2 month trial. too bad you need a credit card number even though the trial is free...

[King Bahamut]

Well good find, I bit the bait hoping to get a free 1 year subscription :D.

[ElwoodCuse]

It's times like this I wish i worked at a rental place.

Although even then, I bet your local Blockbuster won't have 13 copies of this for Xbox, so maybe not.

I know one that would. AHH to be stuck in Wilmington and not in Cary(they had like 20 copies of KOTOR when it came out )

[manofpeace20]

I bouught it and I have the 1 year card. I don't have XBOX Live, and I am willing to sell mine if anyone is interested. E-mail me at manofpeace20@hotmail.com if interested.

[Ichabod]

Casey, which place in Cary would have that many copies? Just curious as that's where I'm from. And Wilmington's not so bad a place to be stuck.

[Mr. Anderson]

Woohoo, I'll just send in for the game piece and sell it to my Live loving friend for 5 bucks. Not bad.

I'm going to get cracking on this.

[JimmieMac]

15 done.

[godzilla123]

Is it guaranteed that you get a 2 month card with this? I am considering picking it up because i just cancelled my live a month ago.

[JimmieMac]

In theory you could sell these on Ebay for an entire year or so and live off the earnings.

Can anyone confirm this?

[King Bahamut]

It's on Gamespot.com...it's an official announcement.

[zzl365]

1 in 13 gets a year subscription, those aren't bad odds...now I have an even better excuse to spend more money, thanks for the info.

[JimmieMac]

Prizes:
Five (5) Grand Prizes, each consisting of an entertainment system, including Kenwood Surround Sound system, a DVD remote system, and an Xbox video game system (approximate retail value $719.98; odds of winning 1 in 130,000). Fifty Thousand (50,000) First Prizes, each consisting of a free Xbox Live™ account for one (1) year (approximate retail value $49.99; odds of winning 1 in 13). Five Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand, Nine Hundred Ninety-Five (599,995) Second Prizes, each consisting of a free Xbox Live account for two (2) months (approximate retail value $12.00; odds of winning 1 in 1.1). Awarding of prizes and Sweepstakes administration shall be the sole responsibility of Ubisoft. Winner will be solely responsible for all application taxes on prizes.

This leads me to believe that the subscriptions are stackable. Which would be nice because for 74 cents worth of postage you could get at least two months of Xbox Live free.
