When XBL costs <$60 a year, the deal is usually only available over XBL, using a credit card. You can't buy XBL Gold subscriptions over XBL without a credit card, and at retail, $60 cards are almost never <$50 on sale. As for Silver weekends, I'm pretty sure I've played on a wednesday/thursday before as a silver account user. Not until the update in 2009 (I think) did I ever have a problem playing Halo 3 online as a silver member.

I've never used my credit card on XBL. I bought ALL of my 12 month Gold cards from Amazon and I've never paid more than $39.99.

On sale? How?

Anyway I only want a 1 month card. Apparently US cards work here, and you can get a 1 month card off eBay for <$10 I think. I don't play much online, but when I get GoW: Judgement, I want to play it online a bit.


This is my method.

I buy 12 Month XBL Gold cards on Amazon. Since I only need to buy them once a year I watch for sales. If there's a sale I buy one or two even if I have months left on my last card. That way I never get to the end of a XBL Gold subcription and get forced to pay full price.

If I where you I wouldn't waste $10 on a 1 month card when you can get 12 month on sale. But if you can't find a sale before you need it I guess you'll be stuck.
