$69 360 live starter kits at jb hifi.

I just picked up one at lunch, I figure a lot of gold subscriptions would be running out in the next week or 2. $69 starter kit deal is the best value for gold subs i've seen, $10 cheaper than extending the subscription online and you get a spare headset and 200 points.

Is this the original Live starter kits? Or do you get some 360 headset with it?

This is the standard 360 live starter kit pack(12 month premium gold pack) that usually goes for $99.

Includes
12 month subscription card
360 headset
200 ms points card
live arcade game (bankshot billiards)

You get bankshot with it for $69? I'll pick one up tonight then.

I didn't know about it. Suck my cock.

Yeah I remember that thread mech, It's why i personally went down to check it out and see if they had them in stock. Considering most peoples subscriptions would run out on the 23rd of this month I though it would be good to have a dedicated thread for it for awareness, because I think it got lost last time it was posted.

Also jb hifi had tonnes of these in the sydney city store.

Mine expires in November but I'll pick one up anyway to extend my subscription. Plus I want a free XBLA game and 200pts.

I need to find a deal like this here, especially with a free xbla game I dont have.

Plus 200 points. How much is that in $$$ I cbf converting it.

And then when you've converted it to $$$ can someone convert it to £££ for me also?

Live kit works out to 28.70 GBP. 200 live points is around 1.70 GBP.

Only if you were a bandwagon jumper.

Real gamers have their subscription expire on November 15th!

You Nov 15th boys have your own bandwagon.

Does anyone know how long this will last?

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 18 Apr 2007 01:39 pm

No idea, but there was a few left at JB in the city when I went last night. Anyway I'm subscribed up till December 2008 now

I like having Xbox Live, but fuck it is bullshit having to pay so much for it. After this I will have paid something like $260 for just 3 years of online gaming.

But in some ways it offers you LESS than the PS3 - i.e. in terms of dedicated servers and a lag-free experience. Let's say you'll play it for 5 years before the next Xbox comes out - you're looking at $400, which makes the 360 more expensive than a PS3 (and with fewer features to boot).

$400 to play online! That's insane! NO ONE else makes you pay for online gaming.

You have to pay EXTRA for things like PSO on 360 as well!

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 18 Apr 2007 03:35 pm

Paying extra for PSO is an intelligence test. You pay, you fail.

i hear they are clearing these from stock..because ms have new packs coming in?? wtf not sure how true that is...but i did see an ad on the xbl dash about new 12 month sub cards or something..very strange
