1 Month Gold $1 - Limited Time *Update

The XBox dashboard is displaying an advertisement for one month of gold membership for one dollar. Credit card is required.

*To get the $1/1 Month you have to subscribe. That means every month (excluding this month) you have to pay $7.99, which charges you to more then $80/year. It's a far better deal to go out and buy a 12 month card for $50.

interesting! ill check that out after work

I don't care what the deal is, I'm not giving my credit card to Microsoft. I've heard to many bad stories about it.scarymovie5

I have never had a problem with them and my credit card...

Sounds likea heck of a deal! I do however think MS needs to rethink their cancelling process. I mean you can click a button to subscribe but you can't click one to unsubscribe. WTF is up with that? You have to call a freaking phone number or replace your Sub with a prepaid MS card. Pretty wacky.

What kind of problems do you guys have?

sounds like a heck of a deal

I have never heard of anyone having problems with LIVE and credit or debit details. In fact all I have ever heard is the opposite. They have a good record for security as far as I know.

Should back those statements up with evidence guys.

Your evidence is 'probably'?

I would hardly take the word of some of the people on here, on the whole not the most mature of sites.

There are a lot of good people though.

If you ever order any subscribtion you should always make sure it's canceled yourself any way.

That hardly counts as card fraud :roll:

can you buy 12 of those months?TheBigTicket21

I wondered that too :P.

Did I misread the article gamespot article on this? It says the first month is a $1, but then aftewards, it's $7.99/month? I thought LIVE was $50/year and not according to that deal, $89/year.

you have to do that like weeks in advance for the computer to not do that...it's the same with any system

if you do it too late then it might charge you again because it didn't have enough time to process

Hey, if you have a 12 month active already, and you buy this 1$ for one month, does it add it on?IIRS3II_H1TMAN

Yeah, I think not reading the print is the problem. After the trial period, will they cancel it or renew it automatically if you don't do anything (for this deal, it will be renewed unless you cancel it)? How many weeks in advance will you need to cancel it so you won't get charged again? These things you need to know. It's illegal to charge your credit card without you authorizing it, so you must have done something, or not have done something, for you to be charged.

Anyways, does anyone know of any catches to this, like in order to get the deal you have to have extra months too?

Yes. As I updated and mentioned twice before you have to subscribe for one year. This means you'll be paying over $80 instead of the $50 for a 12 month card.

Actually, I just called then and apparently, if you cancel before it automatically renews, you'll be good. I guess it's kind of like those Netflicks deals where you get a free trial and it will be set up to charge you after X weeks unless you do something about it.
