What is Xbox Live:
Xbox Live is the online service for players of the Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles.
Xbox Live Silver is free to all users and gives some limited facilities. With a Silver account you can accumulate a reputation by achieving goals within games.

It should be noted that in order to use this code you need to be able to connect to the internet with your xbox, either by wireless or ethernet.

This card is for gold membership ...
Advantages: Play with friends all around the world. Disadvantages: Only lasts for 1 year.
The live 12 month gold card enables the player to play online for a year. When i first received it i accessed it very quickly and was surprised to see how easily i was able to get online and play with millions of people all around the world. All i needed to do was enter the code and i could start playing.
The benefits of going live is mainly playing against people all around the world and making new friends. But if you are a hardcore gamer, this is the perfect place to be as you get to challenge the best around the world and you even get ranked.
What's more is that you can even download exclusive things only from the xbox live marketplace where you can't get from anywhere else.
Overall: A must get for all xbox 360 owners. It completes the console and makes the xbxo 360 that much better. ...
