1.0 out of 5 stars NOT Instant

As with other reviewers, I did not receive my game code instantly. I am a longtime Amazon customer with excellent credit. According to the customer service representative, it can take up to twenty-four hours to process this type of transaction and there is nothing they can do to speed it up. I asked if I could cancel the order and place it on my Amazon Store Card instead. He advised me that the order could not be cancelled and that the same thing would happen on the store card. So, sadly, I won't be setting up my XBox 360 tonight. I also won't be purchasing any more "instant" downloads from Amazon.

If you're interested in buying this, keep in mind that there are no refunds once you buy. Amazon will not give you a refund. Microsoft will not give you a refund. Why should you care? Most reviews of the xbox 360 have determined that over 30 percent of consoles will fail within two years. A recent GameInformer survey found that 54.2 percent of xbox 360s failed before they made it to two years. The only thing worse than finding your xbox 360 is broken and won't be repaired under warranty is knowing that the remainder of your prepaid subscription is going to waste.

Statistically speaking, over half of xbox 360 owners will have to buy a replacement out-of-pocket. Unless you have that cash sitting around to instantly buy a new console, you're going to want the option to cancel and get your money back for the unused portion of your subscription. Take my advice and protect yourself by purchasing directly from Microsoft.

3.0 out of 5 stars X Box Live for the 12 Month + 1 Month Free
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2009
Verified Purchase
Well, I was worried on buying the "instant" 12 month + one month free" Online card. I have never done this before and it really worried me. And sure enough, as soon as I "Ordered" it and waited forever, I got a message saying that it was taking longer than expected and it would take up to 4 hrs. to process. WOW.
Needless to say, I was NOT HAPPY. After leaving the computer up and constantly checking my results, It finally went thru after almost 2 HOURS. But, after I printed the information off, I had my son put the numbers in the x-box to make sure the numbers were good. To my amazement, mu son said the number was good and he could now play!
End Review? - I would buy again from Amazon! It did take a little while, but it did come thru. Thanks!!

Looks like I never seen this before. I usually renew memberships via Xbox Web Marketplace/console. My brother usually buys the physical card from Amazon. But this is amazing! It's cheaper then buying directly from Microsoft AND you get the code instantly! (Well not instantly, there was a minute of processing time. A minor complaint.) I would buy this again if the price stayed the same!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2009

I guess I missed the big sale I read in some of the reviews - I paid 49.99 but that's cool. It was indeed kind of scary when I saw the thing spinning making me wait for the code but it only took about 2 minutes & I was on a wifi connection that acts kind of shady at times. I didn't want to switch to the hardline connection during the processing because I didn't want to mess it up and not get the code. The code popped up, we entered it via the xbox and it was quick and easy. I still have about 2 weeks left on the current monthly and it added the 12+1 to begin after my current subscription ends in 2 weeks. I thought I was going to lose the 2 weeks I had left which would have been fine because I was really only trying to take my CC off the MS Live account. It would not let me remove the card due to current subscripton still active. I basically had to enter a code to put the active subscription on something other than my CC. Unfortunately I still have to wait the 2 weeks to remove the card. Good news is that the card no longer says auto renew so I'm glad it's not going to charge it again. I had it set to monthly because my son is only 10 and I wanted to try it out first before going 12 months. I did the monthly for 2 months and I wanted to remove the card because I hate auto payments. Plus my son might get trigger happy and start downloading a bunch of games. Well hopefully the points can be added digitally as well via Amazon - I don't want Live holding my CC hostage anymore for sure. Not that I had any problems or that I don't trust them, I just feel better knowing it's not on there. If I have any problems in 2 weeks getting the CC off I'll certainly post it - and then cancel the card like I had to do when Netflix kept charging me. I miss Netflix too - but Blockbuster is cool.

5/8/2010 - it's kinda 5/7 but it's a little after midnight so.... :) (why am i so goofy)

Anyway, I totally forgot that I said I would update this if I had a problem getting the CC off. I did. Yep and I was not a happy camper but I totally googled and did all kinds of binging and stuff to finally get a phone number to call xbox and they handled it for me. It was not that simple but the bottom line was they got the card off and then had to totally cancel my acct but emailed me codes for a new subscription. I was extremely happy because I was like a big cry baby spoiled brat "GET MY CARD OFF THAT XBOX LIVE" b-word. I think if I wasn't afraid that my son would buy xbox points w/o my permission, I would have left it there because I can tell they're trustworthy. I'm just goofy. LOL.

XBOX LIVE was awesome handling that for me, although I think they should have a little button to click that says "GET MY CARD OFF OF HERE NOW" but they don't.

I bought the code and got it instantly so i dont feel there is an issue with Amazon i never had problems with them, But the code has not worked yet and its been over 24 hours now. I think there is an issue with Xbox for sure but good luck getting them to tell you whats REALLY wrong.

3.0 out of 5 stars Delays possible
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2009
Like other reviewers have written, I too have also experienced a delay in getting my code. Amazon seems to be hit or miss with their code distribution - when I purchased an XBL Arcade game-code from them weeks ago, I received the code immediately. 3 hours after purchasing this code, I still have not received it. I really like the idea behind this service that Amazon is offering, but it feels like the execution isn't quite there yet. Bottom line: anybody who reads this should be aware that while you may get your code immediately, there is a chance you will have to wait before getting it.
