whats the cheapest way to get some xbox live at the moment? =) just got myself a 360!

There should be a 1 month card in there with it. Unless you got it used. I think if you create a new GamerTag you get a free month as well.

Otherwise, you can browse the web and find 13 months for around $30.

congrats and If you create your gamertag on your xbox you'll get a free month of gold for up to 3 accounts created on your 360

yeah i got the 360 from a friend. also, whats the difference between silver and gold subscriptions?

Well right now you can get a month for 1 dollar. The absolute cheapest way would be to find some free trials and just keep entering them. If you look around you can find some cheap deal on XBL.

This.

Create an account, choose silver...you will get gold free for a month. If your xbox is new...
