    I have checking Game, GameStop, HMV, Smyths and Harvey Normans but all of them are sold out of XBox Live Subscriptions.

    Anybody know if Micosoft are changing there EULA or issuing new cards or is there another reason for the country wide shortage?

    I got mine from eBay.

    But you're looking for a 12month renewal one, not a new 12+1 account...

    They work both ways apparently (Both new & Renew), and also op whats wrong with buying on ebay? The seller has 99.9% good feedback, mines still working since I got it a while ago, and you save a fortune, but if you want to try retail, buy from microsofts update site (You can choose add live sub from your xbox.com profile and pay over net), you'll pay more that way though...

    Got mine on Ebay UK, works absolutely perfectly. 13 months for 30 odd euro, the code arrived in my email within around an hour.

    Bought mine from a playtrader for £30 about €42 - he has a shop that sells them as well, posts and emails out the codes.

    Got my renewal from a Polish seller on ebay for about €40 as well, no problems whatsoever. Just emailed me the code an hour after the sale finished on ebay.

    just a query on this I am paying by the month keep saying I am getting a year off ebay. I have three months of free cards and just entered one the other night even though I am subscribed for a week or so. Can I trusty MS wont automatically take if off the card as well, also is there a way I can delete my card from the system without making the call.
