    Hi just seen this on HUKD and its maybe the bargain of the year

    There is a offer that lets you get xbox live for 1 euro a month. But there is a glitche on the site that lets you take the deal a good few time

    It worked 4 times for me on top of my last deal i got for 8 euros for 3 months on the dash board i got 7 months for 12 euros

    So this maybe the cheapist xbox live your ever going to get

    It will work on all acc

    But wasn't this where you had to give credit card details to avail of the offer in the first place. Colour me paranoid, but after what happened to PSN I'm not putting my details in to anything. ANYTHING! :pac:

    Can you remove your credit card after adding it?

    Think the only way to do that is by ringing them up.

    +353 12420758 or 1 800 509 186

    Thanks samapple, they already had my CC details so no reason not to make use of this, I got 6 months before it stopped me.

    Did I see somewhere lately that they're accepting paypal on xbox live now? Or perhaps that's not implemented yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,467 ✭✭✭ibFoxer


    Thanks OP, just got 5 months before it cut me off. Brings me right up to xmas, and was just a month off renewal and all :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭jamescd


    Is this over ? I'm getting "The Windows Live Network is unavailable from this site"

    My gold is due to run out next month so this would be handy

    No, I ordered 3 and a friend just did it too.

    Is this for new members only?

    Nope you can add gold to any account you already have

    I bought a UK Xbox and set up my account in the UK.
    Same problem. AFAIK there isn't a handy way of changing it. Which sucks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 686 ✭✭✭DVD-Lots


    Yip, got 5 months for a fiver, thanks op.:D

    'After 1 month, your membership will automatically continue and renew to a monthly membership at the then current price (prices subject to change), unless you cancel before your membership period ends.'

    This worries me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,592 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Got 6 months, thanks a lot!

    but it states your memberhsip expiration date.

    In any event just ring and cancel auto renewal in a couple of days.

    I suspect its more likely for them to cancel the extra 4 or 5 months and refund €4 or €5


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,586 ✭✭✭Healium


    Got 7 months for €7. EPIC.

    This is standard. You can check when your Gold expires on Xbox.com. All you have to do is call Xbox Support Ireland. I bought 1 month from the Dashboard a few weeks ago, and called them up a few minutes later. It takes about 10 minutes, but the call is free, and the staff are very friendly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭Africa


    Awesome. Thats me sorted till September XD


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Fnz


    Was going to take advantage of the offer but Chrome indicates the page asking for my credit card details is only partially secure. I know it's probably due to some page element of no consequence, but I'm not willing to take that risk. Seems a bit foolish on Microsoft's part, in the wake of the PSN hacking fiasco.

    Not too bothered as I cant think of any Xbox-exclusive online title I'm itching to play. Would be nice to get those half price discounts on XBLA titles though.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,116 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    Just went for 3 months, do I have to cancel my CC details now or just before the 3 months ends?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 199 ✭✭ajc100


    I just got the rest of the year sorted for me and the kids, Nice one OP.

    On the auto renew issue, i think you can go into profiles on the xbox and turn off auto- updates.

    yes - but i think you can turn it off from the account settings page...

    just got 6 months for a six euro! I also looked into my account details and it shows my 6.99 monthy renewal canceled and a monthly renewal rate of 1 euro to kick in on the 16th of dec:) might be worth while leaving automatic renewal on!!!

    No, they got rid of it. You have to call Xbox Support to turn off auto-renewal.

    I'm renewed up to 16/08/2012 now (got 6 months), thanks OP. I wonder if MS will cotton on to it and do something to rectify it.

    No idea and I seem to have gotten the longest, all I can say is that I already had a credit card registered with them and had recently renewed with a deal I signed up with in December (€36 for 12months and a free Halo helmet for my avatar). The only other thing I can think of is that I applied for them all in rapid succession.

    Originaly posted by MS Xbox Site:
    Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened.

    It appears you've found a glitch in the system.

    You got that right!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Ive bought 2 months but had to start a new account (as I cant remember the email for my other one). Is there any way to find out what email address my gamertag is associated with ?

    As I would rather top up that account rather than the new one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,099 ✭✭✭Dean820


    Got three months, tempted to get more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 124 ✭✭kristok 2


    Thanks op got 5 months before it locked me out. Anyone try using a second credit card to get more ?

    Surely it would be the account itself that would be blocked rather than the card?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,314 ✭✭✭Technoprisoner


    got 5 months...anyone got a link for the €8 for 3 months?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,408 ✭✭✭naasrd


    Picked up 5 months. Nice one OP!

    Seems strange a glitch like this would still have a limit. Seems more likely its maxing out at 5 for security reasons and perhaps using a different cc could get around this ? Probably won't work but just wondering if anyones tried.

    Seems straight forward too as the option is right there ahead of Purchase Now.
