    If an account with gold is signed in, or has the console set to home, then anyone else logged in and playing can play their games and make use of the gold services.
    O right,well the console is set to home I think,the bro has an account on it but he rarely use's it,I believe he has gold membership but essentially I'm using his membership.

    I'm looking to get Titanfall on the Games with Gold (for €7.50 I think) offer but don't get yet have Xbox Live Gold. Will I be able to claim that offer if I use one of the 14 day trial codes? I'm not sure how much I'll use Gold so want to try it out first.

    Titanfall is online only so your going to need gold to play it anyway.

    Games with Gold are free games which you need a current paid Live subscription for; Deals with Gold are a discount for people with Live, and I don't know if it has to be paid or not.

    You might be better off getting a one month EA Access code for about a fiver. You'll get titanfall and a load of other EA games as well. You'll still need the Live trial to play online, but at least this way you'd know for sure.

    Also, I'd recommend EA Access anyway.

    Just to follow up on what Cat has said, if you get EA Access for a month, you only get Titanfall playable for the month

    In both cases, that's because it's a trial rather than a subscription. You need to pay for it to avail of it.

    Are you able to get credit for your microsoft account in shops with codes or do you have to use a credit card

    By credit I mean credit to buy things on the marketplace

    Thanks guys.

    Quick follow up about the EA Access version. Does it come with all the DLC? I can't seem to find an answer to that.

    Edit: Never mind. Looks like all DLC is now free. That's why I was finding it hard to find an answer

    Loads of us have used them. Usually get the code in a few minutes but your first order can take a few hours.

    They have a €50 thing for you microsoft account but it only costs €45, have you ever used it for getting those cause it isnt making a lot of sense to me, how would they make a profit?!?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,248 ✭✭✭Max Mafioso

    CD keys are giving 10% off for black Friday, use the code CDKEYSBLACK10 at checkout leaving a 12 month subscription costing 26 Euro.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 457 ✭✭Browning2010


    Im looking to get a 12 month sub as a present so need something physical to hand over, any way of getting a cheap sub from cdkeys etc but they'd actually send you out something?

    Really don't want to pay out 60euro in gamestop :mad:

    No they won't do that. By the sub and write the code on a card ?

    Site says they are out of stock now.

    Guess it would have been popular alright, site seems to be down now as well, check back later just in case. The code was for most things on the site, not just XBOX Live.

    Print out the online sheet that gives you the code? I wouldn't pay an extra 30 Euro just for a card from gamestop, you could get 12months and a game for that!
