    Yup. CDKeys is totally legit as well, you can buy in confidence there. Just make sure that you're buying the right region, it won't matter for games, but it might matter for Xbox Live/Gamepass (I'll admit that I don't actually know, but it's something to keep in mind).

    Ya I tried em before but had Xbox 360 registered originally with UK… that kind of messes things up with regions (even though my new Xbox is registered in Ireland) . Anyhow they refunded my money straight away so their customer service is very good.

    6 Month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Xbox One / PC BRAZIL for € 25.99 on cdkeys. Can you just switch to Brazil on console & redeem? Or use a VPN?

    You need to use a vpn. If you already have an active sub in another region it won't work.

    Game Pass is brilliant, I have Game Pass Ultimate myself meaning you have Game Pass for PC too. New games are added to the service each month and you get 4 games to keep each month with Live Gold. When your console arrives it should have a code for a free month of Game Pass.

    All details can be found here about Games;

    Yes. I would advise stacking a couple of years of Xbox Live Gold and then availing of the 3 month Game Pass Ultimate for €1 offer.

    For the maximum subscription length I would advise getting 2 x 12 month gold subs and 1 x 6 month sub before subbing to GPU, this should give you 35 months when you include the free month for turning on Autorenew(immediately turn it off and you'll be offered another free month upon adding the next sub).

    He means buy 2 of these: https://www.gamivo.com/product/xbox-live-gold-12-month-brazil?npr=1&adm=1&currency=eur&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmdzzBRC7ARIsANdqRRnQo-h5v-HRorkuiSbkLogyBYPowhM5uXoR7rDBewykW9WXO3hNglEaAmA0EALw_wcB(also never used this site so don't know much about them but cheapest I could find quickly)

    And then once both codes above are entered on Xbox. Buy the xbox ultimate offer for €1. So at the end you will have over 2 years Xbox live Ultimate. So you will have all the games on game pass and you will also be able to play online also.

    edit: Also you may think it's mad buying two 12 month xbox live codes but it is actually cheaper in the long run.

    Not sure they explained why you should do this in full, but this is the best deal in gaming.

    Microsoft has two subscriptions, Xbox Live Gold and GamePass. GamePass Ultimate is the two combined. Xbox Live Gold allows you to play online, and includes 4 free games per month. GamePass offers access to literally hundreds of games, including the latest releases from Microsoft owned studios.

    A year of Live is around €40, while a year of GamePass is around €10 a month. The GamePass Ultimate "3 months for €1" offer upgrades any months of Live left on your account into GamePass Ultimate, so if you bought two years of Live Gold, then buy the upgrade offer, you end up with 27 months of GamePass Ultimate for around €80. It's an incredible deal.

    Haven't looked around for a while, but I'd say that there's a run on these cards now. There's an awful lot of people that have "decided" to have a lot of quiet nights in. The price might go down when they get more in, but when that is, and where they source them from, is up in the air.

    Think so, my ultimate is up today as well. Might leave it for a while to renew, not really using it at the moment.

    The €1 offer was a one time offer per account.

    You can still stack Live and then convert to Game Pass but it'll be €14.99 I think.

    Can confirm that if you have availed of the 1euro Ultimate offer previously you can upgrade your Live with a months subscription of Ultimate for 7.99euro and it changes all your remaining Live time to Ultimate. So it was 47.99euro for me for a 13 months of Ultimate.

    I think so, mine expired on Sunday so I had no Xbox Live/Ultimate and had previously used the 1euro offer.

    Hi all, i just bought a brand new xbox and it comes with 1 month live gold and 1 month game pass.

    Should I use this first or buy 24 months live gold and convert to Ultimate first?

    Thank you in advance.

    If it is standard Game Pass use it, it will give you an additional 2 months of GPU after converting by turning on auto renewal. The 1 month of Gold should do the same.
