Can you detail how you found it?

I downloaded the app. Installed. Ran it. Clicked a video a and a prompt popped up saying I needed gold. Options were family or regular. Tried both, cheapest option was $9.99.

Yes, I did exactly what the OP did both times I attempted to download the gamespot tv app. I can see that it's not working for everyone so ymmv?

At what point does the option appear, before even running the app or after you're already in it?

I'm having the same problem... is it dead already? Doesn't seem very likely though.

After reading the original post it seems to me that this may be for people with the new beta dashboard? I'm not signed up for the beta and can not get this to work.

I am able to download the gamespot app without any prompt and don't get any offer for a trial when I try to watch a video. Has anybody not in the beta been able to get this to work?

It would be nice to get this as I see that the Toy Soldiers games and dlc are on sale. My gold just expired and I'm hesitant to resub as I practically never play online anymore on my 360 and am mainly on my PS3.

Once you start the trial then wouldn't the app just download and install now that you're a gold member. I don't see how this would work.

Sweet. I was just getting a little frustrated that I didn't have the money to renew Live right now. This totally worked. If they keep these offers going for silver members, I might just do this to renew until Microsoft gets wise.

I couldn't get it to work. I have a Silver now since my Gold expired last week. I was able to download the app no problem. After I tried to download other Gold only apps such as Hulu and Netflix but all they gave were the regular options to upgrade. 9.99 for a month...

Do any other accounts on your console have the Gamespot app. already installed?

I have several accounts on my Xbox and NONE of them have the app. installed even though one is a new created Gold account which is running the 1-month trial for FREE.

I did that six notes straight, from February until July. It hasn't come back in the past three months.

That's true but I logged on Xbox.com and it shows that my account now expires on 12/13/2012. So I'm guessing it worked somehow.

I can't believe this dude has been registered since 2004 and posts things almost everyone who's been here for over a year already knows about. I got in on this in 2009, man, and it was old news back then.

The $1 a month ads have dried up completely so don't be such a country music star. I was able to download this app without a problem, lame.

This worked. I said "No thanks" and I got a free month after entering credit info. Problem is, I see NO WAY to turn off Auto Renewal under accounts unless I just delete my card? Not sure what to do here for next month!

You have to log on to xbox.com in order to turn off auto-renewal.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I wanted to report that I just got a one-month trial using the method described in the OP. I tried this a couple of weeks ago, and it did not work then. I believe that the reason, as others have suspected, is that you need the new dashboard to get this offer for a one-month trial or one month for one dollar.

So, if you tried this before without success, give it another try after installing the new dashboard.

Also, this offer isn't limited to the GameSpot app. I got the offer when I tried to install the Netflix app.

Thanks, OP.

All true and confirmed. New dashboard required. The old dashboard lets you download but not ue apps. The new dashboard won't even allow a download without XBL gold.
