Video Game Hardware - xbox live, video games
This is the KIT not just a card. A previous review indicated that bestbuy.com was selling this for $49.99. That is not correct. They are selling the CARD for $49.99. This kit comes with the card plus several other components, thus making it $20 more. You may find this kit cheaper elsewhere, but not significantly. It does what it intends to do. Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Kit
The XBOX 360 Live 12 month kit is the best deal for anyone who needs to sign up or renew their Live account, even if you do have the headset. The card itself is $50, and the points, bonus game, and $20 dollars off a new game (limited time offer) easily helps to make your money back. Even if they didn't include the rebate, it would still be less than buying these parts separate. In fact, it's almost like you're getting a headset for free!
So, like I said, if you need live, buy.
Also, this is the bundle which someone earlier stated was cheaper at Best Buy. I checked, and he was mistaking the card for the kit.
I guess this is a good buy, especially when Corporate Vice President and Chief XNA Architect of Microsoft says so. I just thought it was interesting when J Allard gave a review of this product on Amazon.com
If you have an Xbox 360 and you already have Xbox Live, then you know how much of a necessity it is. Microsoft has put together an amazing online community! I've had no problems so far. Your games will become even better when you can take them online. Under $60 a year for this great service is awesome. It's very affordable and you won't be able to live without it!
Can't really say much about this, because it's basically a new subscription. It's good for the price because it's expired. The game itself, Bankshot Billiards I believe, is definitely not one the best but it's entertaining. The headset is brand new and the design's different than the one that came with my xbox.
This set is a great deal, I found it for around $30. The only way it could really be any better is if it were free. The included headset is not the newest version but it works great. The included game isn't very good(Bankshot Billiards), I didn't even bother downloading it. 200 points won't buy much on the Xbox Live market place either.
If you want to play games online on a console this is a very necessary accessory to own.
Honestly, I don't care about using the webcam that came with this pack, but it's still the best deal I could find, besides some ones where I was put on indefinite 'back order' for a kit without a webcam.
This is an easy and convenient pack that will give you a year of online play, a headset, a webcam, and some 'xbox live marketplace' points and a couple free (if cheesy) old arcade games.
It ships free with the 'super saver shipping' and arrives fairly quickly. I got mine and am waiting until HALO 3 releases before I activate my account. - Video Games - Xbox Live - Video Game Hardware'
