Xbox 360 ~ Gold Membership for 1 Month (+2 Extra) ~ $1 (+ $2 Extra) ~ Xbox 360 Dashboard

291

Just saw the "Go Gold for $1 for a Month" offer on the Xbox 360 dashboard. Adds onto existing subscription so worth it. :)

EDIT #1: For those with Silver XBL accounts there is an offer of $2 for two months so stack it up onto your primary gold account using the two controller trick. :)

EDIT #2: Some people are unable to see the deal in the xbox 360 dash. It should be in the spotlight section if you are lucky but it seems to have run out. I'll set this deal as expired now as off 9.42pm 9/6/11. Sorry to people who have missed out on it. :(

EDIT #3: Changed post to make it active again. Refer to "theguyrules" reply in the comments section below.

    good price, except it's a PITA to cancel the auto renew which is why i havent got it..

  • 2 controller trick?

      How to do the 2 controller trick:

      On Controller 1 – Sign in to a spare Silver Account. Go into the deal on the dashboard.

      On Controller 2 – Sign in to your account.

      On Controller 1 – Sign out the Silver Account, whilst still being on the "Yes I want to buy Gold" screen.

      On Controller 2 – Confirm the purchase and VOILA! 2 Months for $2!!!

        Oh gold, thanks guys… Giving this a whirl tonight.

  • Just a question, because I have the xbox live family pack.
    Am I able to add months on with these deals?
    For example the two controller trick, would it add two months on to all four friends I have on the family pack?

    • All accounts should have access to it so it would add +1 month with the account you redeem the offer with. If for all 4 you will have to sign into each account individually to redeem.

      • ok cool! we'll see what happens.

        • lol, i am confused why you get negged by someone?

  • Can you use paypal to buy XBL subscriptions yet? I know paypal was a recent addition to the Dash but haven't really looked into it yet.
    I've use game cards up until now for XBL subs as it's heaps cheaper but I'm sure that MS have credit Card details on file still somewhere and now that you can use paypal for content I'm thinking of removing the card from my account, just in case MS slip up and we end up with another Sony debacle.

    • I personally used cc but someone here is bound to have used paypal here.

    • You need to add paypal to your account first but its there

    paypal keeps giving an error

    • Same. Status Code: 80190126

      Tried cancel and re-add paypal trick like the one on the xbox forum's rep said, didn't work.

      I am very reluctant to put in my cc because xbox will auto-renew it at the end of the month.

      • Paypal doesn't work. Found I had to remove the paypal account and have only a registered CC to be able to get the previous deal 2 for $2

  • Great!But one month is too short!!

  • Will try PayPal for this, see if it's any better in regards to auto-renewal.

    • paypal is supposedly auto renew too

    • when i first saw this deal a few weeks back or whatever and called to cancel auto renew i asked if paypal auto renews and the guy said yes

  • I can't see it on my dashboard. Where is it located exactly?

    • In the spotlight section once you sign into xbl.

      • Doesn't appear there for me. Tried it as a silver account, and only have the 2 for $2 option, and the unlock a free month foxtel offer.

        • Hmm i'd hate to think that the offer is gone already but if it is than you can still take advantage of the silver xbl offer using the two controller method from above.

          If someone else can confirm whether the offer has finished or not from the dashboard for the gold xbl account then I'll edited the post as necessary.

        • Yeah I heard about it last night on Whirlpool…couldn't see it on my xbox then, and still can't see it now…

        • Tried the 2 controller method on the 2 for $2 and the error I get is "Can't retrieve information from Xbox Live. Please try again later. Status code 80190126"

          Oh well, not meant to be. Thanks anyway.

    This is a dupe:
    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/45777

    I tried it just now, but it won't let me because I've already activated it before.

    • Except its NOT a dupe.

  • STILL THERE FOR ME!

    • Now I am really confused as to whether the offer is still available or not :S

      • Well, I just bought it, now am on the phone to turn off auto renew.

        • alright i'll edit the post :)

    • i tried when i first saw this deal and never saw the offer, tried again after seeing this and still dont see the offer.

      i tried on both a US and AUS silver account and the only deal that shows up is the 2 months for $2 which ive already used on my main account using the controller trick.

  • Cant do it twice :(

  • I can confirm that this WORKS. I used the two controller trick, going for my second attempt now, so ill see how that goes.

    • unable to be done twice, but 1 for $1 is still good :)
