Can an xbox live starter kit work with a 360?

I think you have to have a live account first (so you create the free 1 month gold thing) and then you use the code.

You mean a live starter from the Xbox 1?
They do, but I'm pretty sure you need to make the account on an original Xbox first, then migrate the account across.

Ya might aswell try using it on the 360 though, or have you not yet bought one and were just querying because you saw it out cheap or something?

I myself picked up one of those crimson skies/starter kits from jb hifi when they were out for $50, bargain! I didn't try using it on the 360 outright as I liked the idea of still being able to use my account on the original Xbox aswell if I migrated it to the 360.

In the end I never used it on the standard 360 and ended up changing my gamertag which severs the ability to use it on the standard xbox anyway lol.

I'm kind of annoyed though as you could never pull your CC details out of the original Xbox in relation to live, so you could stop it from auto renewing, something that carries over if you migrate your account :down:
Though if you buy a 360 specific starter you don't need to enter any CC details like you did with the original xbox, so maybe there is a way around it..

ummm, hehe, not to go off topic or anything..

find/borrow/steal an xbox to set up your account, then just delete it from the HDD.

you must activate it on an xbox 1, if it's modded you should be able to turn the mod off anyway.

Nah I don't have a starter kit as yet, they were just cheaper and was wondering if you could do that. And nah I can't turn off my mod chip. I blame dodgy soldering by my mate.

I'll probably just get a 360 specific one, me not having a CC being the major reason.

Well you get the 360 headset+200 marketplace points with the 360 one so you're not just paying for the subscription. And you'll get a month free.

Ah cool, is that one you need to buy or does it just get added to your pics when you play the game?
