This auction is for a 1 month trial of xbox live. microsofts sells their monthly subscription for $8 a month, but I am offering it to you for just $4.98. The trial numbers have not been used, nor have they been opened to reveal the code yet. I will email you the code within 24 hours of receiving payment. The actual trial card will not be mailed out. Xbox live gold membership allows you to play ANY xbox live enabled game. For less then $5, and all access to all the online enables games how can you lose? You can also use this to extend your current subscription if you have one active. thanks for looking!
