For several years now I have XBOX player and of course XBL Gold member. Normally I pay every month 6.99 per visas at Microsoft, until I came across this product. The price is very different from the original MS-price. Here you get three months for about 15 (depending on which provider you bought it). For cost advantage then is still the prepaid function. If you buy in MS directly, it includes a subscription from that you can limit to one month, although, however, you have to regularly log in to the Xbox or PC and update its payment data, complete subscriptions, remove etc. Then I had no more desire, I just want to worry about whether I have canceled the subscription, or whether I have to pay next month, while I'm traveling for work me. Now I have always one or two cards are at home, I simply redeem if I know I'm in the next few evenings at home and I could once again tolerate a little action in multiplayer. Then, when I have no more interest in the subscription runs out easily and I have to do I have to extend it by code.
I wish I had informed me earlier, unfortunately, I was always a little too convenient and have always purchased directly from MS that has now changed, only prepaid! :)
