Here's my problem;

I want Xbox live, but so does my brother. We both agreed we want our own, and we don't want to pay $60 each. Where can we find a year long gift card for really cheap?

Amazon has 12 month cards for like $48 right now, which is about as cheap as 1 year subscriptions will get. You will both have to get your own subscriptions if you guys have your own accounts.

I think you can get a family year membership for $99? Good for 4 or 5 people? That's $50 each.

I tried Amazon. I got $48 too. Some guy from Xbox.com Live Chat said he got $35 so I'm going for around there, and with Black Friday it's probably possible.

The family gold pack? They stopped that last March for unknown reasons.

That's about around the price I'm looking for! If this does work out you get a million points!

EDIT: Man, it's back up to $59.99

I think they were having a Black Friday deal for $3.33 a month or something. I think it was good for all weekend. I saw it quick when I fired up my xbox today

Yeah it was after I signed in with my avatar guy, and then when you have to hit a to start the game. It was the big block in the middle.

It's supposed to be $25 for 3 months or $60 for a year. That would be one crazy deal.

I'm not sure the details, I only saw it quick before I started the game. If it's that good of a deal I might get it

I just checked, it wasn't there. Maybe it was a limited time offer.

Its there this morning! Fine print: price offer valid only through this in-dash sign up with credit card. Your membership auto renews to an annual membership at the then current price, unless cancelled.

Do you have a card linked to your account?

Ahhhhhh! Got to run and get that! No I don't have a card linked to my account.

If I register a card it will pop up?

EDIT: I went on my brothers who has a credit card to check and got this:

Talked to the Xbox people on there website... there's no rhyme or reason to where or when they put those up. Target has 3 month gift cards for $10 (!) instead of $25. I'll get 8 of those for $80 or $40 a year for me and my brother. I consider that to be very good. It's about the same as $3.34 a month. Thanks for all the help and trying though!

That's a good deal! $40 is what I figured 3.34x12 to be. I guess I better commit to it next time I see that screen

Yup, they're sold out at literally every target around me, but I remembered I have a gift card to eBay. I'll buy one on there for about $48 and I won't have to spend any actual money.
