Do you need a credit card to start and XBL Gold ccount on a 360 if you have the subscription code?


Or can you just use the code and then when it runs out ot goes to silver?

Well, I've only done this once. And it gave me 30 days of gold membership. So set up a silver and then just see what happens. If you don't get 30 days, then enter in your code now.

...That will upgrade your silver account to a gold account. If you enter a gold subscription code, then it upgrades. Pretty straight forward...

Yes, you can download the maps and marketplace content. (Although Halo 2 maps are not on the marketplace, they are via the Halo 2 menu)

When you have a 360, you are entitlled to 3 free months of xbl when you register. You do not need a cc, as there are prepaid cards now.
Also, halo 2 maps are paid via xbox1's payment system, which is credit card only.

I dunno the kid that owned the 360 before me probably used them all up, lol


I traded this guy my extra iPod Video for his whole 360, with a HDD, and 2 wireless controllers.

Go to the Marketplace tab. At the bottom you should see something that says Redeem Code. At EB Games they sell gold memberships. Just type in the Code, 48-Hour, 1Month, 3Month, 12Month, or Microsoft points. It will redeem the card for you. No credit card needed. Just go to redeem code and punch it in.
