Default XBL Live silver and gold

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?

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.

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
