Baiter Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 I'm not sure which games it came w/, but espn football has 2 months of xbox live for free. So what's everyone plan on doing with it? Do you think it'll be worth any money in trade? I already have 2 accounts, so I really have no desire for a third. Perhaps someone around here wants to buy it, $18.95 value (so it claims). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 You can't "trade" the months like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems logical that a used game with 2 months of live free would be worth more than just the game. You're probably right, but I still have to believe the thing has some value to someone.

dogbert Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 The thing is, /every/ copy will have the two free months - it's not "tied" to a particular copy of the game, it's tied to your machine. If I haven't bought live & borrowed your copy, I could activate my "free trial" even though you've already activated the free trial. That make sense? It's like PSO - it's "two free months per account" when you get hold of a copy of the game rather than "two free months tied to this one particular copy with a unique code to identify this /one/ copy". Additonally, Microsoft are planning for a lot of games to have this trial attached to it - it's not going to be a unique feature very soon!

Graeme Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Every new XBox live game is going to have one of the cards now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Ahhhhh, crossed wires. It seems they've implemented it differently to how I was lead to believe it was going to be - so there's a "scratch-off" card with a unique code in each copy? That changes things a /little/ - I still don't see it being a huge added value to a trade-in as it's going to be extremely common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
