New 360 and Xbox Live

Hey everyone! I have three quick questions and would appreciate any help you can give me.

1. My brother got a new Xbox 360 for Christmas (yay!) and wants to start his free month of Live Gold. Is there a place in the box that we need to find some code for him to enter? We haven't connected it online yet, so if the directions are given there just let me know please.

2.Since Live Silver is free, can I have an account toowithout actually owning a console? Mainly I would use my account to get updates and demo's, not to play online.

3. What older (read: cheaper) games are good to get? He has COD4 and NCAA football "08", along with the pack-in games. I saw that COD2 was only $20. Are there any good discounted games to get if we like shooters, sports, and RPG's (I have Oblivion on my PC so I'm not paying for that one again)?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, you must enter a code, it will be somewhere with the paperwork.

Yes, you can have unlimiited silver accounts (without even having a gold) and get demos, movies, etc.

I suggest going to Bestbuy.com, look at the 360 games and sort by price, perfect dark zero, advanced warfighter 1 and 2, cod2, these are all great and should be 20$ brand new.

no code is required, you create a silver account and get 1 monh free automatically

Thanks everyone for your responses. I will definitely go by the local stores and see what's on sale and already been discounted. Can't wait for a "Gamer's Choice" line of 360 games like they had for the PS2 and original Xbox.

I'm also glad to see that I can have a free month of Gold service too!

Have a great day!
