Don't see a reason for someone to actually buy this instead of a 12 months one. Works out £9.99 for 3 months and you could get a whole year for £25-28

Not everybody can afford 30+ quid in one go, or want to be locked in for a year.

Link to £25 would be handy nunoBXD, mine is running out this month.

You've gone quiet nunoBXD - talk to us! Where is this £25 subscription you speak of??!

Mine is running out soon so if you have that link to the deal it would be bob on please!

A deal if you only want 3 months Xbox Live and there's something you want to buy for £5 credit but most people use Xbox Live for far longer periods and £25-£30 for a year is a far better deal.

Not voted either way.

Well said, I buy 12 months at a time but know plenty of people who dont want to commit to 12 months eg an owner of multiple consoles

Definitely check dash. I've seen the £1 1 month deal return recently. About 5 years ago I did that constant for about 7 months.

A year without discount is £40, or £10 per 3 months. This is £15 with £5 back (which must be spent on Xbox). This would cost you £60 for a year and leave £20 credit on your Xbox (which cannot be used to buy Live). No discount and turns £20 you can use anywhere into xbox specific credit.

My Live is about to expire in a few days, but each time I have let it expire in the last 6 months there has been a discount available on the dashboard - 1 month for £1, another month for £1, and last was 40% off. You don't see the offers on the dashboard until yours has expired.

Then keep an eye out here for the deals which get posted regularly. I have a year for £25 from GAME in the Black Friday sales which I will use if the offer on the dashboard is worse than £2 per month. It's stayed unused this long because the dashboard has kept giving good results.

Where's the deal?
You're paying £60 for 12 months and £20 credit.
Cdkeys are doing 12 months for £35.99.
I don't see the point.

Obviously not everyone wants 12 months
Good price for just 3

Obviously there isn't one right now but wouldn't be the first time at this price. Everyone knows a decent price for Xbox live goes around £25-£28 and PSN £30-£33. People wait for these to stack and save money in the long run. Also if someone only wants a 3 months deal specifically, highly doubt they would even use the £5 credit

Why wouldn't you use the credit?

To be honest my immediate opinion on the deal was average at best.

There has been a number of Wuaki Xbox live deals for 12 months for £29.99 lately. There is usually the Wuaki deals on the Xbox live credit as well. This in comparison is extremely poor value for money.

Only wanting 3 months seems like a pretty good reason to buy this

I might just buy the 3 months as I only use it for the free games for my old man and his old 360. He doesn't play games online so it's a good deal.

Will have a look at the dashboard offers too - cheers for the info.

I have been a gold member for the past 4 or 5 years but ran out earlier this year and didn't see any offers on my dashboard until the £1/1month came a couple of weeks ago as part of the spring sale (available to everyone). Are these dash offers only available to Xbox One players or what?

Where can I find £25 for 12 months? I used to get codes off eBay or MMOGA for around £20 but they are all bogus or expensive now... :smirk:

Thanks ordered, I needed gold for 3 months :smiley:
