Prepaid Is Better
 
Review Date: December 19, 2006
Reviewer: J. Gable,
To start off, I'd like to say that XBox Live is incredible and worth every penny. Online gaming is incredibly fun and a quite excellent way to pass time.

That aside, there are downsides to XBox Live that can be avoided through prepaid cards. Number one, you always run the risk that unwarranted transactions will be made if your credit card in rank is stored on your XBox 360 system. It may not happen all that often, but it's best to avoid it all together.

The largest reason to buy prepaid Xbox Live card is the renewal administer that happens when you don't use one. If you order XBox Live through your system, it'll renew everytime your subscription runs out. This wouldn't be a problem except that it's not that simple to cancel. As a replacement for of cancelling through your system, you have to go through the hassle of in fact mission XBox Live support. Even then, depending on the representative you get, you may be on the spot to keep your subscription because they really don't want you to cancel it. I'm guessing that's part of their job to convince you to keep it, but it still is frustrating to the person that is trying to cancel it.

You'll have to go through this administer everytime you want to cancel if you don't use a prepaid card. Is that hassle really worth it? I don't reckon so. Consequently, avoid all of the problems by simply buying a prepaid card. You won't be sorry.

UPDATE (7/7/2010): This review was written in 2006 and back then you had to call customer service to stop the auto-renewal. As users in the note of this review have pointed out, since then you can simply go to the main website and disable it, but you have to do this every single time you buy a new subscription.

The prepaid card is still the ultimate way to go. You don't have to worry about forgetting to stop the renewal, plus the prices are just simply better during much of the year. Sometimes Microsoft will have special trials (such as three months for half off), but for the rest of the time, the ease of Amazon's new digital service to send you the code or the savings of having the actual card shipped to you is just too excellent to pass up. If you're buying it for a gift, that special gamer in your life will certainly like you for getting it for them!
Best Deal you will ever find! ! !

This is the BEST deal I have ever found on the Xbox Live 12 Month Subscription.

I looked 6-10 different places for a deal on this and only found 1 close to this and that was wal-fart but I dislike shopping there so Amazon was the place to go.

This should be a guaranteed buy and you CAN'T beat the Price!!!
Nice deal!

My fiancee was under the $6 a month plot - this is a much better deal. We bought this card for $40, which is better than the $72 we WERE paying.

Xbox Live really contributes to the gaming experience. The tie to Netflix is nearly enough to get it RIGHT there. It helps us to make the most of use of our Netflix subscription AND any games we buy (expansion releases).
It is what it is

Find the card on sale every so often each year. Don't pay the full price. The Xbox Live Gold is planetary and I like it, but I don't see how they charge $50 or more a year and you don't get any freebies...other than advanced demo downloads. They need to throw a bone for a free song or bargain basement priced DLC or a free rental every so often. I have spent well over $1000 in my 3 years with the Xbox 360 on peripherals, games and downloads. 2% of my money spent as a gift would have paid for 1600 points of DLC...that would be a nice thank you from Xbox 360 for keeping their convergence alive and well.
i would recommend buying these now
