5 of 5 No Hassle! Thursday, May 01, 2008
Kris from Kissimmee, FL  

I was skeptical at first when purchasing this online. The price was too good to be true and the free shipping just made it more questionable, but I took a shot, and boy did it pay off. I received the item in less than 7 days! No Hassle, it's perfect! I will definitely shop here again.

5 of 5 Great Price Wednesday, April 16, 2008
Dan Wylie from Apple Valley  
i have had xbox live before, and this one is no different from the other stores, except the price! 13 month subscription! It is a must have for all 360 owners, so buy it now, while you can. also, i ordered 7-9 business day shipping, and it came within 3 days!

5 of 5 Much improved - pull tab on back Monday, March 24, 2008
A Gamer from Falls Church, VA  
Had no problems with this pre-paid card. Previous iterations had a scratch off back which was terrible. Similar to a scratch-off lottery ticket, you'd end up scratching off the code right along with the material covering it. This card seems much better, as it has a pull tab hiding the code. Had no problems with it. Would recommend to others.

Worked as advertised and Buy.com had the best advertised price at the time. The only issue I had was that the actual card did not indicate the extra month was included. When I redeemed it, it was there.

3 of 5 Xbox LIVE is a nice service, but... Tuesday, March 18, 2008
dbushik@yahoo.com from Anaheim, CA  
Xbox LIVE is a nice service, but the Xbox 360 is not a stable hardware system. As much as I love my Xbox 360 and the games and online play it supports, I have experienced 3 general hardware failures over the course of 15 months of owning the device. With Microsoft taking about 30 days door-to-door to repair a failure, that means my Xbox 360 has been non-functional or in for repairs 20% of the total time I've had it. LIVE is a wonderful service providing online gaming on quality servers with little if any issues, but the Xbox itself is of questionable quality, so that carries over because it really doesn't matter how good LIVE is if you can't use it because your Xbox console isn't working.

5 of 5 Xbox Live is fantastic! Sunday, March 16, 2008
James from Maryland  
Honestly, theres not much to say, because I'm sure that you have heard of xbox live before and know all about it. If you dont have a 360, get one. Then, when you get it, make sure to get xbox live. 40 bucks might seem like a lot at first, but if you think about it, youre only paying about 3 bucks a month for online play, and its the best, by far, online system out there. Go for it!

5 of 5 Best Subscription Price Saturday, March 15, 2008
A Gamer from GA  
An Xbox Live gold subscription for 13 months that's less than the regular $50/month subscription through Microsoft? Awesome! For the same cost of about 10 months of service, you can use this card to extend your existing membership. I was on the auto-renewal for a gold membership and used this to save money for the next year. A great value!

5 of 5 Dont judge a book by its cover..... Thursday, February 14, 2008
Ryan from W. Fargo, ND  
I ordered this on here due to the unbelievable price. 13 months for only $42.99!!!! Anyways, I was patient and waited the 1 1/2 weeks for it to arrive, when all that showed up was a "normal" 12 month live card!!! I read the entire item over and it did no show a thing related to a 13month subscription..... :-( After writing to Buy.com, they wanted me to send it back. I "Maned Up" and opened it to redeem it when the screen showed up a 13 month subscription!!! Buy.com did their part, dont worry too much if it shows up and it isn't the right one, but you will only know for sure by opening it.

5 of 5 Great Product from Buy.com Sunday, January 27, 2008
Bradford B. from Birmingham, AL  
There's not much you can review with these Xbox Live subscription cards. Just know that Buy.com sells them the cheapest with fast (most of the time free) shipping. Be careful shopping for these things on Ebay since you can get non-activated ones that people have stolen. Buy.com is the absolute best online retailer!!!!

5 of 5 A Lot Of Fun Wednesday, January 02, 2008
Mikhael from Johnson Creek , WI  
Nice to have so that you can play with friends from far away without having to go to their house. Improves your skills with games that you thought you were good at. Love being able to send and recieve messages and chat! It may be hard to justify for some people, but once you have it, you won't have ANY trouble finding reasons why it is worth it.

4 of 5 XBOX 360 LIVE Saturday, December 29, 2007
Patricia & Cliff from Lakewood, NJ  
My son-in-law is thrilled with the gift we gave him for the Xbox 360 Live membership. Of all the gifts we gave him that seemed to be the one that got the best results. I was disappointed that it cost so much just to have access and that we missed a deal for the lower price. When I logged into Buy.com it was on sale and a day later when I finally placed my order it went up $10. I would have liked to order more from Buy.com but it cost the same as the stores and I had to pay shipping. I just saved some time by doing it online.

5 of 5 XBOX live should be free...BUT Thursday, December 27, 2007
Hassan from Cleveland, OH  
since we have to, it only makes sense to get the access cards as cheap as you can. this is not a game but gives you access to xbox live. which in IMHO should be free but microsoft makes you pay 50 bucks a years for the right to play other people online, something that PC users have been doing for FREE for years. Because of this I try to get the live access cards like this for as cheap as possible. I got this for 37 bucks with free shipping which amounts to a little more than 3 bucks a month which is little more palatable than the 50 bucks these usually go for.

5 of 5 XBOX LIVE RULES!! Thursday, December 27, 2007
law877 from Boyds, MD  
While the other system makers Sony and Nintendo try to copy Microsoft, they just can't compete. Microsoft gives you the best online experience. You need the Gold membership with its negligible cost to get the full experience. There is nothing better than playing a game against someone on the other side of the world. Buy.com has the best price on the Gold membership.

5 of 5 Works like a charm Sunday, December 23, 2007
Casey from OH  
First I just want to say that I love when people throw in things to their product review that has nothing to do with the item they bought. Like this person below me who thought that it was important to tell us that if we call a store around the holiday we 'might' get put on hold? Really? That's news to me. Thank you for that great product review. In any case, the card worked as planned and getting 13 months of Xbox Live for like $37 (on sale) is a great deal! ...Oh, and store brand foods are just as good as name brands are. Just thought you might like to know that. ;) Happy Holidays.
