    In Firefox Ctrl and -, or go to "View -> Zoom -> Zoom Out"

    Make sure you have checked "NO" to "Are you an XBOX Live Gold Member?"

    Then click "Submit"

    Thanks that worked, I thought by pressing enter it will also work.

    Sorry if this has come up before but I just bought a £40 points code off cdkeys and when I redeem it its coming up as €40, is this the way it works now that MS points are gone?

    Update: So basically I had to change my region to UK to use the code, it said €40 credit when I entered it on my 360 and £40 when I tried on the X1 or Live website but none of them would actually let me redeem it until I did a full region change to the UK and I'm pretty sure I'll have to use it all up before I change back.
    I just wanted to buy Minecraft because I finally get fed up of waiting for the X1 version :(

    Not all bad though, I got a Titanfall download code for £27.29 too.

    Im Just looking at this now. My XBL runs out tomorrow. I'm at work which runs through the states, so I'm seeing the prices in $, will that affect me being able to use the code?

    If you're about to renew (before it expires) and you and a mate are in the Xbox Rewards program, you could get some bonus credit for the account if you follow the steps on http://rewards.xbox.com/myrewards/
    Xbox Rewards wrote:
    Renewing your Gold membership, which carries over to Xbox One or Xbox 360, is a quick and easy way to earn up to 3,000 Rewards Credits. You'll earn Credits each time you renew your Gold membership, and if you sign up for a 12-month Xbox Live Gold membership, you'll get all your Rewards Credits at once. Please note, you will receive your Credits once your current membership ends and your new membership kicks in.

    3,000 'rewards credits' is about €3 that can be added to your GamerTag.

    Also, on CD Keys, there's a 13-month code for just £2 more (http://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/memberships/12-1-month-xbox-live-gold-membership-call-of-duty-ghosts-branded-xbox-one-360).

    Every little helps, as Marty Whelan used to say on those ads for some store or another.

    For Live, I've generally had no problem (I recently bought two years of gold from this site for the same price I'd pay for one in store.

    It's the MS Points (now Gift Cards) that wouldn't work cross region.

    Hope that helps.

    Mr cheez, try cdkeys.com, xbox, memberships, one month is £5.99, cheapest I've seen, but you could also try Allyall's method below posted 29/4/2014. One week free!! Good luck.

    cheers, although it's more or less the same as the €6.99* on the dashboard. Allyall's method won't qualify me to download Games with Gold as it's only a week-long gift membership.

    *in fact it's cheaper on the dashboard as £5.99 is €7.18 on Paypal's currency converter

    Nope, that was to happened after the June system update is installed, for both Xbox One and 360, not 1. June. As they seem to need to update the software on the Xbox to move the apps from behind the paywall.

    Not sure why anyone would buy Xbox live from Microsoft, can get it so much cheaper elsewhere.

    There's loads of places that do it cheaper, buying direct is probably the most expensive method believe it or not. Have a look on Adverts, there's sellers there with loads of good feedback who are reputable & you'll save a fair amount.

    I got my 12 month sub earlier in the year from a user on Adverts, who seems to be gone now unfortunately. I bought it via adverts, & then a chap rings you to verify you're you, then the code is emailed to you (I think, something like that anyway).

    This place isn't the absolute cheapest, but I've probably used it about 20 times, ridiculously quick delivery of the codes (often just seconds) and never had a problem. They are good for buying the gift cards for anyone who doesn't want to go down the American route €50 code for €41.99

    Seriously? Do you think shops are making no money on them? To put it simply usually as a general rule retail will double the price that they get it for. Not always, and obviously I have no idea what they are getting them for in this case.

    Microsoft are the one company that will always charge the full retail, because they can't be seen to be under cutting retail shops after all they are supplying them with the codes and suggesting a price of €60.

    Everyone else can look at what they are getting them for and charge whatever they want.
