to browse the marketplace to download demos and trailers, you only need Xbox Live Silver, which is free. to play your games online, you need Xbox Live Gold. you can pay online with a credit card, or go to a game store, or any store that has video games/accesories for that matter and purchase a one month card for $7.99, a 3 month card for $19.99, or a 12 month card for $12.99. but when you first sing up for xbox live silver (the free one) you get one free month of gold. hopefully that answers your question.

I have a question. I plan on buying an Elite roughly next week. I was wondering when I recover my account onto the new hdd...Will I get a free month of gold or will it remain a silver account?

The 360 come with 1 month free trial and once it expire it stays gold so no worries

in response to metroid, silver lasts forever, but the free gold trial only lasts one month after activation of xbox live.

and in response to tree, if the account you are recovering is curretnly using a free trial from your old console, or has already used the free month trial, no you will not get it again. the activation is related to the account, not the console.

hope that answered the questions.

see it's bulls*** like that, that makes me sick you know dang well it's $50 a year and not 5 bucks a month... there's no option for a month for $5 I hate how people make up numbers when they know a month is 7.99 and 3 months is 19.99 and 12 months is 49.99.... THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS ITS NOT FIVE BUCKS A MONTH... i hate it when people make up crap like that... freakin' liars.

Edit: Sorry to go off on you like that but you and I both know that's the truth.

If you're gonna buy live, look for a pack that includes a full year of live, a headset, and some other good stuff. It's usually like $60 I think.

technically (value-wise) Xbox Live Gold is less than $5 a month (and yea i know it says $7.99 or whatever). if you buy a years worth then (technically) it cost you $3.85 plus tax depending on where you live!
