lawtai Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I purchased a 360 Premium system yesterday. In setting everything up, I was wondering what I need to do to get my free 30 day trial? I haven't seen anything that indicates that I get one, although I thought it was supposed to come with the premium system? Am I missing something here? Is there supposed to be a card or code or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Create a new Live account and it is Gold for one month , no card, comes with system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjb1118 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Don't worry, there isn't any card or anything like that. Just create an Xbox Live Account (Gamertag) on your Xbox 360, and you'll automatically get 1 month of gold free. EDIT: A bit slow :p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGashX Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have had mixed answers to this, seeing as I have created my gamertag before I got the system. I was told I wouldn't get a trial :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 yeah dark gash i have no idea why you went and did that. not sure if it makes any diff for the free month tho. as for getting it, all you need to do is sign up with your console for XBL.

Cyberkiller Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 You have to create a NEW gamertag on the system to get it. I used my gamertag that I created a while back on xbox.com and didnt get the free trial either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said many times, people have asked for a gamertag and I created one, I now have "some" friends to ge tplaying with on my 360 :). I don;t mind it's just the mixed answers. If I don't get it nevermind :). Besides the fact I want to chat on the Xbox Forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawtai Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 hmm, I actually created my gamertag on my PC last night... I didn't know I needed to do it through the xbox. Is there anyway I can still get my trial? or am I out of luck :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshuggah Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 if you create if on your pc via xbox.com, you will get your free month. Have you tried playing a game online yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawtai Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 I haven't tried to play a game online yet, but i went and looked at my "membership" section on the xbox and it only showed silver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshuggah Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Dunno, you should have gotten a gold regardless of doing it on the PC or on your 360. If you really haven't gotten any achievements yet, maybe just make another gamertag and get the gold free month, then just delete the other gamertag. It's up to you though.

I don;t mind it's just the mixed answers. If I don't get it nevermind :). Besides the fact I want to chat on the Xbox Forums. Don't worry. I created mine like 3 days before I got my 360. When I registered my account on my 360, it offered me the free month. So nothing to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawtai Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Well unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out how to get my 1 month free with the gamertag I created online. So I just went and created a new gamertag and got my free month. Good thing I hadn't done anything with my previous gamertag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoKiller Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Ok, let me tell settle this question for once and for all. When I purchased my Xbox 360 console (November 27th) I called Microsoft asking why I can't get my 1-month trial and they said it is because I created my account on the Xbox.com website instead of the console. Let me say it again, Xbox Live customer support told me that you will have to create your account on the console to recieve the 30-day trial.

lawtai Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 What steps did you take to get the free month after registering online? I think I attempted to load a previous gamertag onto the 360 and I never saw any options for getting the month free. Creating a new gamertag on a different e-mail address did work though.

I just created the gamertag online using my hotmail account. When I got my 360 it asked my if I had an account (or a passport, can't remember) and I just put mine and it offered me the free month at the end of the registration process.
