Too bad I can't use this...I'm still in the middle of the Gold account I activated around Valentine's day. Ah well...enjoy, Silver members...:razz:
 
I would jump on this atm but I've been pretty busy as of late. Plus, I won't be getting Ghostbusters from Gamefly anytime soon.
 
yeah this sounds good. the number is easy to remember 1-800-4-MY XBOX. just keep saying customer service or representative. something like that. press 0 should take less than a minute to acquire someone. but they usually have live and billing Customer service representatives right away.
 
[quote name='mowmow']i just called to cancel the renewal. they kept on pushing their yearly plan on me ugh[/QUOTE]

If anyone else runs into that problem, just say you have a Live gold card and just don't want to get charged if you forget to apply the code when the $1 subscription expires. That's what I did because it's true.

Now the other question is, how do I remove the credit card tied to my Live account? Do I have to call again because it's not letting me do it online?
 
[quote name='kazunori']Would've jumped on this, but I don't have my 360 at the moment, and this thing activates immediately right?[/QUOTE]

Yes, it activates immediately. The OP indicated that it was only available yesterday. Does anyone who didn't get it still have the option, or was it truly a one-day-only deal?

Just did it now - 1 month for $1.00, good deal thanks for the post.
 
[quote name='kart007k']Are they in India?[/QUOTE]
Most likely, and when I was telling the lady my gamertag which has a bunch of i's in it. She would say, i as in India? :)
 
Last night I signed out of my XBL & signed in with the wife's. The $1 deal showed up immediately. I set her up-- hopefully we can both play Scene It online.

Forgive me for what I'm sure is a stupid question, but I don't have much experience with Live/Online play. Are you implying that in order for 2 people to play an online game on 1 360, both people need gold memberships? I always assumed that as long as someone with Gold was signed in, the other person would essentially be a guest, able to play, although possibly not able to get achievements (I also don't have much experience with achievements).

My memory is fuzzy, but IIRC, the time I played online & we tried to get her account to join the same game, it wouldn't let her on. I may have been doing it wrong though, dunno.
 
Funny enough my last 1-month card (found in a GTA4 used game case from GS...thanks!) expired today and I noticed the ad on the dashboard. I bit, and then came here knowing there'd be more details on it. After finding out the info about the auto-renewal bs, I phoned M$ and told them to turn it off. What do they do? Cancel my subscription altogether. I call back, get put on hold for 20 minutes, finally get someone who isn't a complete retard, and they re-credit a single dollar to my CC...I laughed at her. You seriously can't just give me a code or just change things so I have a 1 month subscription again? Eventually I got it straightened out, but god, what a bunch of morons. Soon enough I'll be able to recite the script each of them reads.

Many games will allow a guest to play, but they are signed in under your gamertag with something like (1) next to the name. They cannot do so under a separate tag. I know for certain games such as Halo 3 support this method.
 
Not sure if this was the right place to put this, but I didn't realize it and thought I should warn others. Just in case :)

Be aware that nowadays, the 12-month Gold cards are just that: 12 months.

Old 12+1 month bonus card:

New 12 month card:

The old cards were "12+1-month bonus". So while a lot of places like Target, BB, Amazon are having $39.99 and under sales on the 12 month card, be aware that it may be the 12month card, sans 1 month bonus.

As does Rockband if I remember correctly. But I have trouble trying to do that anyway.
 
Did/do you have to give a credit card to Microsoft for this? After the horror stories over the years, I will *NEVER* do that. Otherwise if it's still active, I might end up doing this. I considered it I guess two nights ago when I saw it on my dashboard, but couldn't really think what I'd use it for.

Good to know.

I want her to be able to play under her own avatar, so it's worth the $1 spent :)
