Xbox 360 Services - Explainations?


Recommended Posts

Hey, New to Xbox 360 here and expect to get my "Premium" package in a few days.

Does anyone have a link to a site that explains what all of the "service" levels are and what you get with each?

Can't seem to find on that compares them all.

Thanks!

Wow, so if I only have silver (which I believe the Premium comes with), then no multiplayer?

Yikes!

How much is it for Gold?

you can register a new live account, the first month will be free (so you get a gold account) sort of like a try-out, after the first moment your account automaticly changes to silver, you won't lose your account, it will just change, you can then buy prepaid gold cards in a store and update your account to be gold again. (60 USD a year i believe)

Its not much, its around $45.00 for a year.

Check out some of the stores. I remeber some stores use to offer $10.00 off from premium. Look around you might find a better deal. Its totally worthed though

Well u can snag a XBL Gold Card Code off of ebay for 12-months cheaper than $50 if u don't want to spend that much. I bought my XBL Gold Card for 12-months off of ebay for chump change. :laugh:

When I first got my X360 - I created a gold account immediatly and bought a months gold :(

What a scam - could've gotten it for free.

I think you get the 1 month free + 12 months? I could be wrong though.

Premium (buy this) it comes with a hard drive, HDTV/SD cables, and a wireless controller

Core (dont buy this) does NOT come with a hard drive, comes with SD cables only, and a wireless controller? not too sure about the controller could be a wired one

Gold (Buy this) it's the Xbox Live membership, and allows you to play games online :)

Silver (comes when you get the premium (correct me if im wrong)) it doesn't allow you to play online UNLESS it's a free xbox live silver weekend, were all silver and gold members are allowed to play (i haven't heard of one recently)

Aslong as you have a hard drive, or memory card you can get xbox live. Also, the xbox marketplace is amazing! free demos (gold members get some releases early) and game content.. (sometimes you need to pay with microsoft points)

Microsoft points... something microsoft made up, and you buy look at the price guide prices vary between different things.. and i believe prices eventually go down on most content

yeah good choice with the premium and ya gotta hav a gold account otherwise what's the point?

i know it's a money drain but you get a relatively stable, nuisance-free system for your buckadingdongs.
