I just thought I’d take a moment to let all you gamers on a budget with expired/expiring Xbox Live Gold accounts know that there is a current promotion being run via the Xbox 360 dashboard. A fun roulette style “Spin to Win” game lets you spin and attempt to win Xbox Live Gold for either 1 month for $1.00, 2 months for $2, or a full 90 days for $9.99!
The best part is, unlike a real game of roulette, there is no gamble. You can elect to “spin again” until you get the offer you really desire. I just took advantage of the three months for $9.99 offer and upgraded my son’s expired Xbox Live Gold account.
Of course when you submit your payment info the subscription will be set to auto-renew…so just be sure to make a note of the date and cancel prior to the automatic renewal date to avoid being charged additional months at the regular price.
