    Hi

    looking to get xbox live and never did this before

    Seems to be a secondary market to buy unlock codes and its confusing. Is xbox live gold the standard offering? I see something called xbox pass and ultimate

    Also gamestop cdkeys are about 30 euro for the code

    noticed another crowd called gamivo and they have a bunch of suppliers and you can get it for 23 euro and with something called "smart price" discount its 20 euro so whats the catch.

    Also if you can recommend a cheap but decent head set as i can see this being the next ask before we move to a gamers chair lol

    See this post at the top of this Xbox forum for getting the best deal for XBLG and GamePass Ultimate. Regarding a headset, there are plenty recommendations for Steel series Arctis 7x. I don't use the headset myself.

    Not Gamivo specifically but I've bought lots from cdkeys. Buy Brazilian for best price.

    Just had a look and its 27.59 whether brazilian or eu. Just saw another post and I think the gamivo price is without VAT added. I knew there must be a catch :)

    Oh, for the 6 months?

    There's a £10 difference between EU and Brazil for 12 months which is not much more than the 6 month figure.

    ok really confused. Why does everyone not buy brazilian then and why would they have a specific pkg for brazil if it works in ireland?

    thanks for you help also - appreciated.

    you have to redeem them from the brazilian xbox site, involves a VPN. Some are not comfortable/able to do this. They can go (used to anyway, probably no more as 12 months codes are on borrowed time) a fair bit lower in price too, the few I bought last year were £23-24.
