Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Best way to pay for Live in UK

Okay my fellow forum members, I'm thinking this December, under the guise of Christmas presents, I'll finally switch from being a 2 console owning gamer to a 3 console owning gamer and get a 360.

So, what's the best way to pay for Live?  I'm thinking pre-paid cards look cheaper overall vs direct debit, as a quick scour of the web would seem to confirm this - but, what say you longtime 360 owners?  Is this the best approach.

Also, anything I should know regarding spec, etc?

I'm going to get the 250GB Slim of course and plan to use WiFi as I live in a very old house and rely on Wi Fi for all online.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Yes, cards are the best answer, especially as if you buy direct through M$, then you are roped in for auto extensions, and they are not that easy to cancel...

Also, you should be aware that Amazon UK are selling 360s at 60% off sometime this week, though I can't be sure if it will actually be the 250GB model, I hope it is, so keep an eye on the website
