Customers are saying

Customers value Xbox Live, citing its ease of use and the attractive price, especially when purchased on sale. Many appreciate the three-month subscription length, making it a great gift option for gamers. However, some customers reported difficulties with code activation. A small number experienced issues with the code itself, either finding it invalid or already used.

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.

    Xbox live offering games with gold is nice, however it is still a bit expensive. Luckily got it on a pretty solid discount for purchasing it with a new xbone

    Great Christmas gift for our college son who loves to play video games! It is cheaper to buy it this way than to pay a monthly fee for a whole year!

    You get 2-3 free game downloads. Titles change every month. You also receive discounts on digital downloads. Must buy when you purchase a console because you get a discount on this.

    I would only recommend buying this when it is on sale, which happened regularly around the Christmas holidays. I did have an issue with redeeming the code, and I’m wondering if it was not activated properly in the store. It took much time and a long phone call to get the code redeemed correctly on the Xbox. It should not have been this difficult, and it went much smoother when I purchased the code online.

    The game card worked as advertised and did indeed give me access to Xbox live, so I don't really have any complaints.

    A must for any Xbox owner....most games require it and games with gold gives you $100's worth of free games. Worth every penny and look online to get pricematch for even better deal.

    It's the best way to buy a membership for Xbox Live. Once a year and you're done. I love it because you do not have to use any credit cards online. And it's cheaper then month to month.

    Auto-pay through Xbox is $12.99/month, so this is already a good value. But add in a free 3 months when purchased and it turns into a smokin hot deal! Very happy!

    I was able to buy my XBOX Live 12 month membership on sale and saved $20.00. Best Buy offers this sale periodically and its a great way to save some money, especially if you are a gamer.

    Got it on sale for $40. Required for online play but they give you 4 free games a month, plus access to better deals. Don't pay full price ($60) as it goes on sale multiple times a year.
