Mark could you please expand because if Leandro88 does indeed own the site that he is heartily recommending then that simply wouldn't be fair on our members.

Used it for mine a week or so ago, received code in 3 minutes.

Now THAT's efficient service.

Our new fully automated system will be in place by then. No more waiting around (even tho most customers only wait up to 5mins at the moment)
Going to be instant and i mean instant not like alot of places that claim to be instant then have you waiting around for 4hours.

I have UK PAL 360 with UK account.
Should of really emailed the support line lucky i came back and spotted this.

Im guessing its points you bought for that error, you get that error if you are trying to buy some content without points in your account then activating the card there.

You need to do this:
• Press your Big X in middle of your controller
• Press left twice to market place
• Then go down to redeem code and enter it there

please email support@live-codes.com for support questions you will get a faster reply than me trawling the forums on here.

Thanks

Re: Cheapest place for 12 months Xbox Live?

Oh its not the dreaded "status code: 80154003" error is it?

This has been known to xbox live for about a year now and they still cant sort it out! If you google "status code: 80154003" you will see a alot of people with same problem.

This happens when you previously paid via credit card/debit card and details from the card and details on console dont match exactly.

What to do?
• Try the code again (sometimes it works a few minutes later)

Still not working?
• Go to Xbox.com | Xbox.com Home and login to your account, press my account, redeem code

Still not working?
• Your going to have to ring microsoft to get them to remove your card details from their system and problem solved. You may aswell get them to activate your card to your account whilst your on the phone.

Re: Cheapest place for 12 months Xbox Live?

To compare the current prices:

live-codes.com
£28.99 12 months

jasper1675.com/newuk12gold.html
£29.99 13 months
22/5/09 - Out of stock

buygamingcodes.com
£28.99 12 months
£32.99 13 months

instantlivecodes.com
£31.99 12 months

instantxboxcards.com
£30.99 12 months

I got my last one from ebay. There's some on there at the moment for the same price as Jasper with 100% feedback.

What's the best deal?

Maximus Cards 12+1 months works out as £27.50, which would work out the cheapest. Has anyone used them before?

2 seconds between the paypal mail and the maximus mail with the code!

Another good site is:

www.boxeddeal.com
Are they not for US cards though? Do US cards work just the same over here? Not sure I'd risk it for a couple of quid.

Re: Cheapest place for 12 months Xbox Live?

Anyone know the details about if US codes work in UK? I thought they were all the same?

It says at the bottom of MaximusCards.com:

Quote:
The USA points is compatible with USA Xbox 360s only and USA Xbox Live Accounts on non USA based Xbox 360s. The Canadian points is compatible with Canadian Xbox 360s only and Canadian Xbox Live Accounts on non Canadian based Xbox 360s. Example: If you are based in England, but have a USA Xbox Live account on your 360, the code will work for you. We have satisfied customers from around the world. The Gold Subscription code, however, works worldwide.
So just the points that are country specific and not the Xbox Live Gold?
