Can anyone explain what the actual differences are between these two? done a search on them and there doesnt really seem to be much differenec between them, so why pay £30 when you dont need to?

You can only play online with gold mate simple as that

nicky1888 · 03-05-09, 01:06 PM

no you can't, you can play online with silver, free of charge.

My subscription ended in January and i was about to resubscribe today when i found out i could play online, checked my membership details and im definately not subscribed with gold membership anymore.

ive played two games of pro evo and 1 game of cod5.

nicky1888 · 03-05-09, 06:43 PM

not a problem, like i said, was about to resubscribe till i noticed that i was already able to play so was just wondering why i could when i didnt have a gold membership.

AciidSn3ak3r · 03-05-09, 07:50 PM

Yer. i had that happen to me before. I was like "WTF" but then relised :\
But ahh well. You can get XBL for under £30 now so its not too bad.

I need to buy a 12 month XBL membership. Where can I get one for under £30. Ebay all seem to be slightly over this amount. I've seen livecodes for £28.99 but are they reliable?

Thanks
