Was just looking on my console for the pricing of Live Membership and came across this price via Games & Apps > Memberships > Xbox Live.
It does state that you will be charged the £26.50 now and then the price reverts back to £39.99 every year after. I guess you can turn auto-renew off after purchase.

Did you already have Xbox live when you got it or have you ever had Xbox live before?

Yep 40 on the website for me which is odd since I've had Xbox live since the day it started. Anybody know why certain people get these and not others?

Answered your own question buddy. I/we had Xbox live from day 1, they don't need to give us deals, they know for fact we will renew :thumbsup:

Urgh same as fing sky they actually told me on the phone we don't need to offer customers anything as they don't need any incentive to join. Wonder if the op already had Xbox live?

I dont see how these "user specific" deals get any heat. It like me posting that my mate Dave will do an M.O.T. for fifteen quid but only for me and his brother.
Pointless really

Surely if it raises awareness for someone to check and possibly get the deal it deserves heat?
Every deal on the site is user specific isn't it? Should people without kids vote down every post for baby monitors or cots etc just because it's not applicable to them? :face_with_monocle:

No, cause anyone is entitled to buy a baby monitor, regardless if they have a use for it.

It's possibly linked to whether they have your payment details. I only pay with Xbox credit from vouchers and won't give them my card/paypal details. They love having easy ways for you to buy games and DLC.

You can't pay for live with credit
Ted.Wales to zombrex
17 Sep 17#49
Yes, I know. I meant that if they don't hold payment details for your account they would want them. It's easier for people to make a purchase for a game or DLC without having a second thought about it. I buy DLC and digital games with credit I get vouchers for and I buy Gold with a code for 12 month Live. I never give them credit card details and I regularly get offers for 12 months Gold on my dashboard.

40 for me but thanks anyway as I got offered 1 month free trial, which I accepted. If I buy Star Wars Battlefront for the offer price of £3.75 will I be able to still play it after the 1 month free trial finishes?
johnwillowlfc to bfam
17 Sep 17#43
Yes but you wont be able to play online multiplayer after 1 month
bfam to johnwillowlfc
17 Sep 17#45
Thanks buddy. I always thought you could only play games bought on Xbox One Live Gold while you had a subscription and not once the subscription expires. I guess you cant play the free games once your subscription expires.
SuperDan to bfam
17 Sep 17#46
Yes you can.
You can 'purchase' the free games for £0.00 if you have a gold subscription. From that day forward you own the game. You can delete it and redownload it anytime you like, if you want to.
If you end your gold subscription, no more free game offers, but it doesn't change the fact that you own all the previously 'purchased' games.
Just, as above, lose multiplayer functionality without your Gold sub.

Dekard97 to Gordon_Lea
17 Sep 17#25
True, but now that you've been informed, wouldn't it make sense to clearly state that it is account specific in the title?
I personally always vote cold when a post doesn't clearly state that the offer is account or store specific. Conversely, I always vote hot for a post that informs the reader if it is account/store specific, even if the item in question happens to be a warm dog turd reduced to a quid.

Thanks, mine expires in 10 days and almost bought another 12 months through CDKEYS (or similar). Would never have thought to check if there was an offer on the Xbox, as normally never is for me but, this offer was

I got this a couple of days ago. Was previously on a 12m prepaid code from cDKeys (or similar) due to expire on 9th October. Home screen of 360 had a black 'GOLD' advert saying "you don't want to miss these deals". £26.50 for another year, redeemed on dashboard. Have turned off auto-renew on MS Account. Hot.

I had this on my dash before before my live expired, first time they have ever offered me a deal. Plus I was able to stack so bought 2 years worth.

Typical, preview dash user in the fastest ring. Testing the newest dash update. Live has just expired and no offers for me. There's a button that says something like "Don't miss this amazing offer" which just takes me to the standard prices. Would love 3 months for 8.99. Voted cold due to account specific deal.

Sorry, I meant me. I'm an Xbox Live Ambassador doing my part for Microsoft and yet I'm apparently not eligible for these discounts that many are seeing.

I got the same deal this week. I usually always bought an Xbox live gold membership card and redeemed it. I've never used their subscription service, so it might be that? I got it about a weeks before it was due to expire.
