It depends on how long of a membership you want...a 3 month xbox live membership is just $19.99 where a 12 month xbox live membership is $49.99...
You will have to purchase one to obtain the membership code.
Yes It Is there is a code on the back of the 12 month card
no you can get a one year membership
No it doesnt you have to buy a gold membership to get on xbox live or you can be a free member but i would recommend a gold membership the 12 month ones are usually 50 dollars.
No you do not. When you register a gametag with xbox live the gamertag is given a 1 month gold membership, but no points.
Yes, as long as one has Xbox Live membership then he/she can play with others. You need to have Xbox Live Gold though to be able to play on multiplayer based games like Halo, COD and what not.
No, after an xbox live trial you will transfer to a silver membership unless you entered a credit card that will auto renew your gold membership after the trial...
You can get a free xbox live membership at http://www.xboxlivegoldfree.com - I got a 6 month membership there... just takes about a half hour trying to get a working code!
it is pretty much the same thing. Gold membership it a type of Xbox Live membership and has a charge.
It depends what package you buy. If you buy a package that is more money, you will average out a lower price per month and save a little bit more money for buying a long amount of xbox live. A regular 1 month pay is $8 a month.
With an a Xbox Live membership I think so, without a membership maybe not.
