    Have 2 day code from COD. Read OP. No idea who's next in line or who wants it tbh so please lemme know.

    Yep same here, as i see it the queue is
    scooby2791

    tubsandtiles

    copper pipe

    skelliser

    cubix

    cheeky monkey

    smartly dressed

    mountyjoy mugger

    So we can either respect the queue or just give them to the next people looking for codes. Maybe give the lads on the list a day or two to come back for one?
    I didnt get any code with my COD?

    There should be a single sheet with "2 Day Gold Pass" on it and on the back near the bottom there is a 25 character code


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,486 ✭✭✭Mountjoy Mugger

    Hey guys, poor student stuck on silver now, would very much appreciate anything at all :)

    Ill hopefully be able to get Skyrim in a few weeks and if that comes with a pass ill pass it straight back on to the boardsies.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,370 ✭✭✭GAAman


    Ok the lads on the list have not checked in so we will just go on and if they come back at some point they get priority. I will send my code to mountjoy mugger now and danny if you want to pm doc bollocko and ask if he still has his code.

    Drgonzo becomes next in line, sorry dave as said you need to have at least 50 posts on boards to avail of this otherwise we would just have people actin the maggot registering just to get free codes rather than actual boardsies getting them.

    Just as a side note will say again in shiny caps so people are clear

    THE CODES GIVEN HERE CANNOT BE USED AS A "TOP UP" FOR YOUR PRIMARY PROFILE (ASSUMING THIS PROFILE HAS BEEN ON XBOX LIVE GOLD AT SOME POINT). THEY WILL ONLY WORK WITH THE CREATION OF A NEW PROFILE.

    PLEASE CREATE A NEW PROFILE BEFORE YOU ASK FOR A CODE HERE AS YOU MAY HAVE FREE 1 MONTH GOLD LIVE TRIALS STILL AVAILABLE ON YOUR SYSTEM (I HAVE HEARD IT IS THREE PER CONSOLE BUT I KNOW I GOT MORE) THEREBY DEPRIVING SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY NEEDS THE CODE

    Sending pm to mountjoy mugger now...


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,486 ✭✭✭Mountjoy Mugger


    Got it. About to use it. Much appreciated!

    .

    Are you sure about this, I thought they could be used to give a lapsed Gold account a top up for a couple of days?

    That said, I have a code available so if dr.bollocko doesn't have one for Dannyboi3k, I'll send it on. Otherwise, dr gonzo can have it.

    Positive, not only have i read it somewhere on their (microsoft) site but i also tried it myself when my own gold sub finished. I kept getting an error message that the code was not recognised, and i gave that same code to someone on this thread and it worked for their new profile.

    That is grand about the code danny got sorted so if you hang on to it until the next person comes along someone else can use it :)

    Edit: Actually just remembered about dr gonzo, can you send them a pm to check do they still need the code?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,196 ✭✭✭maximoose


    I have a 2 day code, who's next?

    (Also if anyone wants the Master Chief Female Avatar Armor I've a code for that too!)


  • Registered Users Posts: 637 ✭✭✭Dannyboi3k


    in all my asking for a trial i found two 48hour passes in old halo 3 cases :rolleyes:

    So, dunno who's next but I have two here anyway so let me know


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,370 ✭✭✭GAAman


    I think the backlog is clear as the other people did not get back to this thread so whoever comes next (as long as they satisfy the rules) gets the codes from maximoose and dannyboi3k.

    Just as an add on maybe the next people who need codes can pm the lads above instead of them having to keep checking on this thread.


  • Registered Users Posts: 637 ✭✭✭Dannyboi3k


    Yeah better to PM me i'll surely forget anyway :D

    If you have a new xbox you should have at least three single month gold trials on it. When you create a profile and it asks you do you want silver (free) or gold live pick silver and it will automatically give you gold for a months trial.

  • Registered Users Posts: 109 ✭✭mrpants


    Thanks gaaman, I'll give it a go.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,218 ✭✭✭Rowley Birkin QC


    I'll add my name to the list, thanks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 185 ✭✭Spike2010


    Got a 2 day Gold pass here if anyone still needs one?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,218 ✭✭✭Rowley Birkin QC


    Just to let anyone here know that there is an offer at the moment for 3 months Gold for €9.99. Pretty reasonable, just remember to remove your credit card from auto-renewing the account at full price.

    Just a FYI, GAAman.

    I tried using it with a lapsed gold account, and it worked.

    It might have been specific to that code, I'm not sure. But hey, it worked.

    Good to know, strange but it didn't work for me a few times and even when i tried it a few months ago.

    Just out of interest, was your live account ever credit card funded? Mine has always been a top up card rather than credit card i wonder if that makes a difference?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,486 ✭✭✭Mountjoy Mugger


    Yep - credit card funded.


  • Registered Users Posts: 52 ✭✭fishsticks


    Anybody have a fifa 12 online pass they aint using? Me and my brother share the xbox so he used it before i could so im online-less
    Appreciate it if anyone did

    From what I can remember the code should work for everyone on the same console. Its not 1 per gamertag but 1 per console.
    Do I need an unique Online Pass for every user on my console?
    No. One Online Pass will give online access to multiple users logged into the console where the Online Pass was first activated (subject to the console manufacturer’s and EA online terms of service).

    Also, the user that activated the Online Pass will be allowed to access online features on other consoles (of the same manufacturer) by logging into the same account credentials that they used when they enabled the Online Pass.

    Rowley does this mean you have topped up your gold account? If so spikes code goes to the next person that comes along, if not then spike is your way to go
    Yep - credit card funded.

    I wonder if that is why it worked, good to know though! :)
