What is Xbox Live:
Xbox Live is the online service for players of the Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles.

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.

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. ...
