[quote name='kaosz']i called ms xbox live support, and they told me there were no 12+1 month subscription codes that works for new accounts only. maybe the technician i spoke with just doesn't know? anyway, that's why i'm a little wary and want the card on hand unless someone knows for sure that these new account only codes do indeed work. as in a buyer who checked after a month to see if they've been billed by MS and hasn't been. or a whoever really obtains these codes coming up with a real explanation, since these codes are not really found retail. not some cover-up, but a real, legit explanation while not necessarily divulging the exact details (as in to not incriminate him/herself or giving away the secrets).
edit: that said, i managed to win a 12+1 NIB sub card for $25, and it's being shipped to me. for renewals too, i'm happy.
however, i'm in the market for a new account only card, provided those really do work.[/quote]
The guy who bought my card and the guy who started this post on this forum stated this AFTER 1 MONTH...
"
But heres another thing... I can get on xbox live now and play a game.
But I don't think this is coming form my 1 month free trial form MS... as this is my 5th profile.. and they've stopped giving those once you get aroudn this point.
Still... why does the end date say 8/2007?
See... I don't know the specifics of how this thing plays out. But if the end date is 8/2007 and it ends THIS MONTH I can still protect myself and change the dispute to a claim, right?
Because I cant tell her I can get on xbox live now.. thats +1 point for her."
You can go read it on page 1. He's an idiot. So yes, these cards work after 1 month.
