24/48 Hour Code

English - as in "what are you talking about?" The thread seems to make no sense. What are you looking for a code for?
 
I'm guessing he's looking for an Xbox Live Gold Trial card, which often come inside the packaging for new games.
 
doesnt microsoft give you a free 30day triel if you just make a new account on an xbox 360? I know my 360 does.
 
Why do you need a 48 hour code? Stop being a cheap bastard and go buy a 1 month card or something.
 
Thanks for you input. However, it wasn't really needed. If you feel I should pay, keep your opinion to yourself.
 
Since this is getting out of hand I'll tell you why I won't pay for my online gaming. One, Xbox live is overrun by lagging little Tommy's and Billy's who wouldn't know what pingage was if it bit ‘em right on the ass. Hosting playable 8-16+ player matches on a home modem is a technological impossibility. Meaning an abundance of unrelenting lag. Something I will not put up with as the PC platform offers better performance and community options for no cost whatsoever. The PS3 has also won out as it offer what Xbox Live does for free. I can accept broken online game play for free, but for a price you better throw in a few stocks in Microsoft or Exxon. As that will suffice for both tinkering with my budget and, well, tinkering with my budget. I don't take pride in being duped, Merlin, and I would hope neither would you. So either offer a code or go back to paying for something an educated 14 year old could outdo in 6 months. Thank you.

If you hate it so much, then why do you want free codes to use it?:rolleyes: Contradict yourself much?:rolleyes: Not to mention $4 a month isn't much considering you probably pay more than that for 1 gallon of gas.....
 
lol, this sounds like an uncannily apt metaphor for piracy. Complete with the, "something an educated 14 year old could outdo in 6 months" ignorance.

Sorry dude, but this probably isn't going anywhere. Good try though!
 
Looks like the xbots are here in numbers.

To answer your question, Merlin, I intend to use it while E3 is going on to download the single player demo of Too Human. My year subscription just expired on the 15th. That will be the last cent Microsoft ever gets from me for "online service". Oh and I'd much rather spend the money on one gallon of gas to get me to work rather than waste it on absolutely nothing. Gates is rich, he can start charities. I'm not, so I don't intend to pay for one under the name of Xbox Live.

-Finalgt,

I'm not quite sure you understood what I was getting at. I was simply referring to the chat options, and ability to join friends games. I wasn't talking about making the Xbox 360. Though there are 14 year olds with better hand made rigs, so that's debatable.

Aside from all this nonsense, though. Is there anyone on here who isn't interested in selling me xbox live, but rather willing to properly respond or act in which this specific topic sees fit? Just curious.
 
Xbots. Oh. I see.

What we have here, class, is a fanboy of some sort--be he PC or PS3 (more likely the latter), who tries to 'fight the man' behind the console he owns. It's like buying a coffee at Starbucks to fuel your protesting their prices outside the store.

Xbox Live is worth it, if only for the fact that everyone can voice chat. I mean, sure--you get 10 year olds swearing up a storm, but Christ--it's so hard to play a tactical game without headsets.
 
I appreciate the psycho-analysis. Although I'm afraid you completely missed your mark. The only current gen console I own is the 360. My PC hasn't been gaming worthy since 2000-2001 as I still have the old Radeon 9000 pro in it. I plan on building a new rig in September, but that's a different story. My console gaming experience is and has been predominantly Xbox for the past 7 years or so. Starting from the original to the 360. Also, I never really understood why the PS2 sold so many units. So I guess you could call me a blind Xbox fanboy if anything. Though I'm not, and I honestly don't try to ever favor one platform over the other. Admittedly though, I've recently been eying what the pc has to offer (spore&crysis) for the sole purpose of variety. Perhaps in the form of statistical prowess or what have you. Though whatever you want to call it, I'm interested. All irrelevance aside, I'd appreciate it if you knew what you were talking about before furthering this blind argument. No I will not pay for online gaming. Yes I will accept codes through PM if you see it fit to send me one (or more). Which I highly doubt is going to happen now, but I honestly cant see why not. So if you're going to post, make sure it's relevant, please. I don't want to have to deal with every wannabe Microsoft sales rep.

absolutely nothing. Except for that demo.

Keep on sticking it to the, uh, The Man, I guess? Do the kids still call it that these days?

Panhandling is really lame.

This thread has lulz.
 
I have a 48 hour key that I had saved in notepad. I don't know if my brother used it or not but I will PM it to you if you want.
 
Sent. I just copied and pasted so there should be no error unless it had been used already.
