    I renewed using a code from here http://cheapxboxlivecodes.com/xbox-live-gold-subscription-codes/cheap-12-month-xbox-live-gold-membership-subscription/

    It was £25.99 through paypal, got some ms points as well, all worked fine.

    You can buy renewals in the regular stores now for €49.99 why is microsoft still charging €59.99 for the automatic one?

    Just bought a 3 month subscription (~€12.42) from this guy (I don't live in the UK btw). Same as; I got the code in an email within a minute. Redeemed it and works fine. Thanks poster.
    Actually, I tried a while ago and got this error
    This seller has set buyer requirements for this item and only sells to buyers who meet those requirements.
    You are unable to bid on or buy this item because:
    #
    You are registered in a country to which the seller doesn't post to.

    Anyway, ordered from link posted by dloob above.

    I'd recommend http://cgi.ebay.ie/Xbox-360-Live-Gold-Subscription-12-Month_W0QQitemZ290368508408QQihZ019QQcategoryZ112846QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem based on my experiences. Code emailed to me promptly (within minutes), with the offer of postage if I wanted it, and it worked fine. Currency conversion made it less than €30 for the 12 month subscription. Another mate of mine bought from the same seller after hearing about my dealing, and he was also very happy with it. He also has the rarity of 100% positive feedback, and a large number of sales to his name.

    Did mine the other day. No problem very fast indeed. In the email from google click "how do i check this order" it brings you to a page and tells you where livecodes sent their confirmation. There was option when I was checking out from google if they should handle communication or let livecodes email me at my email address directly. Hope this helps but reading back over it I am not too sure.

    eBay doesn't allow the sale of stuff through email, so they have to say that. They all email them though.

    With ebay you are protected via paypal and the people who do it, some have about 9000 positive comments just for selling these cards.

    quick question, how do these guys afford to sell these for half price? surely MS aren't giving them below €30?? are these actually legit since you only get the code?? or is there something odd going on? don't want to get a console ban!

    The likes of HMV sell these same codes for about 45 euro regularly, and I'm sure they're making a decent profit (quite possibly purchasing at well under 30 euro a piece!), so I'd wager these people are buying them through similar channels, and just including much less markup on them when they sell them on. Obviously I can't vouch 100%, but I'm confident enough in them to have bought one myself

    A couple of the links that have been posted here, such as Live-Codes etc were out of stock when I went to buy a 12 month code on Sunday. Also the ebay link was sold out.

    So I did a search for Xbox Live on ebay and bought off the first search item return. Price was £27.27 and I clicked buy at about 16:00. I got a reply via email at 19:20 looking for confirmation of valid email address. I didn't get it till later, so replied at 10:50. I got the code in a second email at 11:40.

    Overall pretty happy with the price and the service.

    However, in the emails the seller sent, he has a sig with this link. http://www.affordablexboxlive.com/

    Price there is £25.95 which is fantastic. I haven't gone through the process there, so not sure if is PayPal but I can certainly vouch for them through Ebay.
