Xbox Live is an online multiplayer gaming service that is operated by Microsoft Corporation. Each country has its own pricing regulation for playing the game. The game comes in two versions Xbox Live Silver and Xbox Live Gold. Xbox Live comes with several features such as avatars, videochat, multiplayers, Mottos for display on gamer profiles, Game achievements, which are earned during gameplay, Xbox Guide, Friends list, Integration with Windows Live Messenger and many many more.
Xbox Live is pretty expensive. However, there are ways to get online and become part of the Live community for free. These are outlined below.
1. Xbox Live Free Trial on Xbox
Xbox Live comes with a Two-Month Free Trial Card containing everything you need to play on Xbox Live free for two whole months. The steps outlined below show you how to get started using Xbox Live free trial -
Get access to broadband Internet service. You must have high-speed Internet service, like cable or DSL.
-
Find your free trial subscription code that is located at the bottom of the Two-Month Free Trial Card included in specially marked Xbox Live-enabled games, including Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, and Star Wars Battlefront.
-
Connect to Xbox Live and create your account. You will need to first choose a method that works for you then sign up to create your trial account. Your trial account is instantly set up with two free incredible gaming on Xbox Live!
Your trial subscription is only valid for two months so when your two month trial subscription is over, you will need to make the necessary payments to continue using Xbox Live. Multiple trial cards cannot be used to extend a trial beyond two months.
2. Free trial given with a game
Some games come with free trials but are generally 48 hour trials and require purchase of the game immediately after.
3. Giveaways
Some sellers offer giveaways which may be for particular games and may last only 48 hours.
4. Microsoft freebies
Occasionally, Microsoft offers free weekends for members to play their games online for a certain number of hours. These weekends are however not very common and are normally sponsored by some corporate organization. In addition to this, Microsoft offers certain other incentives such as the Microsoft Diamond card that was released last Christmas for all Microsoft subscribers.
5. Free trial codes through websites
There are several different websites where you can get the Xbox Live codes. Some of these web sites offer tons of free codes after you have played some other games offered on their site or filled in some questionnaires or surveys. At all of these web sites you will need to register and create a login name and a password and may be required to give in personal information such as your phone number or street address. Once you receive your codes, you will need to login to Xbox Live and select Redeem Prepaid Card or Promotional Code when prompted. You can then enter your code, and enjoy!
Websites You Can Visit
Some different websites that I have found are:
These sites give away a pretty good amount of codes and look like they have other games and things to offer on their website. However, doing a web search will probably return a lot of other good sites.
