Customers are saying

Customers love the Xbox Live 12 Month Gold Membership for its value, ease of use, and quick code delivery. Many appreciate the straightforward redemption process and the length of the subscription. A small number of customers noted that the membership does not automatically convert to an equivalent Game Pass subscription. Overall, the positive feedback on price and ease of use outweighs the concerns about Game Pass conversion.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Don't pay $9.99 per month for Live. 12 months subscriptions average just $5 per month, plus if you purchase it with a console the price drops to just $30 - $2.50 / month. Total bargain at that price. Unlike earlier consoles were live play was optional, new games like Titanfall CANNOT be played at all without an on-line membership.

    Was a great deal on the buy because there was a $1 game pass promo that upgraded this to the more expensive plan so maxed out years with this and did the upgrade saved money for a few years

    This is so worth it. I always wait til around this time of year because they really drop the price on these cards. You get an awesome deal with the 12 month membership and it doesn't break the bank! This is the perfect gift to accompany any console, game or accessory.

    Awesome. Got these converted to Ultimate Game Pass automatically on a 1 to 1 ratio. So I ended up getting set up for 2 years of Ultimate Game Pass for super cheap.

    This 12 month Xbox Live membership is the best value at roughly $5 per month. In addition, after adding up to 36 months to your MS account, you may get the option to convert the entire membership to an Ultimate Play pass.

    Avoid monthly plans that x box offers. Those monthly plans that with over time charges more what a full month subscribtion should cost. If you are able to save enough I recommend getting the 12 month. Those short term ones of month to month are and should be used as a financial emergency lol

    Spending $10 a month for this service is crazy. We paid $35 on sale for the whole year. This is the only way to go.

    You can’t play many Xbox games without Xbox live membership as you all know. I purchased the digital card and received an email with the card number in less than an hour from Best Buy. I activated the card quickly and without any issues.

    Xbox live is a great way to play games with friends and check out new games for free. I got another year so I could play games with others, take advantage of special game prices and get some games for free.

    You can’t buy 1 year subscription from Xbox , from Best Buy you can buy it one year and save you some a lot of money , the only downside buy electronically is maybe wait 30 min but then again you save a lot of money.
