Dealio: Xbox Live 12-month card for $40

by Alexander Sliwinski on Oct 26th 2009 10:15AM

Xbox Live is the frosting inside the Xbox 360's Oreo cookie. Sure, the two chocolate wafers are delicious alone, but it's that sugary stuffing that makes it an Oreo. The only problem is that the frosting costs $50 annually -- so, it's nice to see that it's only $40 for a 12-month Xbox Live gold membership card on Amazon at the moment.

As far as we can tell, a similar deal is not available for the downloadable version of the card. If you're already a gold member, the subscriptions should accumulate. We're more than happy to save $10 on that renewal, 'cause Xbox 360's are just better stuffed with frosting -- wait, what?

[Thanks, Ganung]

$39.99 at Newegg.com plus free shipping.

Nice man, will have to order a few

It's been $39.99 @ Newegg for a while, I remember checking last month and it was like that.

Yeah every time I have checked for at least the last year, NewEgg has had them for 39 + free shipping. That's always my go-to, unless Amazon has them for the same, because they ship faster with my Prime Account.

It's been $39.99 on both amazon and newegg for several months. I know cause I've been holding out for a while hoping to see the $28.99 sale again.

That worksout at £24.42 even with the weak pound!

...but how many crumpets is that?

I kid, I kid.

I had to lol at this ^

yeah, but can you use US codes with UK accounts?

I take it you prefer men then faggot! - *Watches ignorant yanks head explode with confusion*

*Watches as pompous Brit makes an ass out of himself*

People always list $50 for xbox live per year as a complaint but in reality its only $40 as this deal is recurring. I've never paid more than $40 per year for the 3+ years I've been on Xbox live.

Lol and to think that it costs 80$ everywhere in Europe for even less services (no netflix and whatnot)

UK'ers get SkyTV now.

I haven't paid more than $30 for the 12+1month for the past 2 times I bought it. The last time I didn't need it but it sure as hell didn't hurt to get it and throw it on.

Yeah, wait for $30 12+1 cards. They pop up from time to time, especially during the holidays.

I can't say this is the same at every Microcenter, but I was at the one in Northern Virginia on Friday. They had 1600 point cards for $13, 3 month cards for $10, and 3 month kits (3 month card, headset, 400 points) for $13. it looked like they bought a bunch from a Blockbuster that closed. 1600 point cards worked fine...

What does that analogy mean if I really dislike the frosting inside Oreos?

12 months+1 for $20 where I live. Actually you buy a 3 month card and it somehow magically inputs as 12+1 months. This is something you don't question though. It's happened from cards bought at several stores in the area.

If I apply this code will this reset my "roster" or whatever it's called? My 6 years standing number?

nope it still adds to it

Just so people know, Xbox LIVE 12 month cards are international. So buy away
