Xbox Live Gold works on Xbox Live default?


Recommended Posts

Right ive been to EBAY and ive emailed with some of the sellers and they said that the code they have work on both XBOX AND XBOX 360 how is this possible? and a couple of my online friends told me that they brought a gold subscription and entered the code and that worked on the normal console but he might be lying so.. i don' know what to do will the GOLD subscription work on my normal XBOX? i don't want to try it out because might be waste of money so im asking you guys will it work?

i don't think it can work as there's nowhere to put the code in the dashboard unless they've since upgraded the dash after i got my 360 and sold my original box. I was wondering if MS would do it but i dunno.. doesn't seem so.

There was no such thing as XBL "silver" on the orginal xbox. There was just XBL or whats now known as "Gold" on the 360. So yes the code will work on the original Xbox. XBL on Xbox = XBL Gold on 360.

If the code does work - don't forget you'll still need to tie a Credit Card to your XBOX Live account, you don't need to do that with the 360 but with XBOX you do.

If you don't trust one of your online friends, why would you trust a bunch of online strangers?

I don't for a fact whether or not the code will work on the Xbox 1, but I have no doubt at all that it will be fine. I can say that even after getting a 360 and going on live with a Gold membership for over a year I can still play Xbox 1 on Live.

Has the Xbox Team Confirmed this? i mean the Xbox live gold subscription working on the normal xbox

if you want a confirmation, go to xbox.com/forums.

There's no "official xbox team" on neowin. only two guys from MS :D

however, xbox live = xbox 360 gold, so yes, yes it will work

Dude seriously easy math:

XBL on Original Xbox = XBL Gold on 360.

If you have an old XBL account you can convert it to an XBL Gold account, and it WILL be backwards Compatible with XBL on the Xbox. I have done this personally with both of my XBL accounts. In fact I dont even own a 360 yet, I used someone elses but the accounts still work the same. MS made it alot easier than you are thinking. If you dont wanna belive any of us I would suggest what Meshuggah said, check out the xbox.com support.

Correct me if im wrong but i believe:

Xbox 1 codes work with Xbox 360

However

Xbox 360 codes Do not work with original xbox

Yes it would work.

Pretty much answered your own question there. I wouldn't personally rely on anything they may say.

Yeah thats what i think but then i called Xbox Live Support from their number and i asked them there but they told me that you cannot use gold subscriptions on xbox 1 but they said that u may be able to use xbox 1 codes on xbox 360 so.. what i do now? are they correct?

it wont work dude, they've told you. the key probably has a different alogorithm than the orig Xbox can identify. But the 360 obviously has the ability to read both types of alogorithms
