Xbox Live Gold 1 Month Trial


Recommended Posts

I was under the impression that you got an xbox live gold for 1 month with new console, i got mine 2day ... *finally* but im stuck on silver subscription, is it something to do with my gamertag because i have had it for a year? And i didnt create a new one with the console.

Well I got my Xbox 360 a few days ago, first signed up for my gamertag then, and got my free month automatically. I'm guessing because you already had your gamertag, you weren't eligible for it.

Im pretty sure you have to make a new name. When you go to make an account it will ask you what type of plan you want, just say silver, and then continue. After you do that it will say you have 1 free month of Gold, and just say ok, put in the info, and thats pretty much it.

And if you have had that for a year, then why dont you just transfer it to you xbox, or did you subscription expire.

didnt have xbox live with my xbox it was modded :(

When 360 came out i created a gamertag for when i would get my 360.

Got my 360, input gamertag and its a no go with the Gold service it says i have to buy it. I dont mind paying like ?40 a year, it would have been good to try it atleast.

There was a thread about this before. I think we kind of came up with the conclusion that you needed to register on xbox.com first to receive your 1 month gold subscription... although there were the occasional people who reported making their account on the xbox itself. :s

EDIT: I just realized I didn't answer your question really... try creating a new account? Sounds about right if you've had your gamertag for a year :|

I have confirmed this with Xbox LIVE customer support and they said that you get your 1 month only if you sign up using the Xbox 360.

That's odd because I specifically remembering signing up on Xbox.com when GTs were made for registration and when I got my 360 I just inputted that same GT and I got the free 1 month. Maybe they changed it, who knows.

I just had this problem a few days ago. I created my gamertag online, and found that it didn't offer me the 1 month trial when I jumped on the 360. After creating a new gamertag on the 360, was I able to get my 1 month trial offer.

I'd suggest creating a new tag through the 360 and you should get your 1 month trial.
