1 Month of Xbox Live Gold for just $1
Microsoft has a tempting offer for all the Xbox 360 owners out there that have yet to sign up for Xbox Live Gold. For just $1, current free Silver members will be able to upgrade to a Xbox Live Gold membership for 1 month when they login to their Xbox Live accounts through their 360. There's no strings attached but you do have to provide a credit card and cancel if you don't want to continue with the Gold service - otherwise you'll be billed $8.99 per month.
If you're not familiar with Xbox Live, it's their online matchmaking service that allows you play games with your friends around the world but also much more. You'll get access to Gold members-only content, be able to share photos, get early access to content, and more. For a $1 it's a very low risk way to see if it's worth your money.

Cancelling my Xbox live subscription back in the day was the biggest pain in the ass ever. Couldn’t do it online, it took half an hour on the phone to a call centre to eventually have some guy repeatedly ask me “why??” and then yell at me before finally cancelling my account along with the remaining 4 months that I still had left. It’s absolutely insane that you can’t just cancel the account through the Xbox or the web. I don’t know if things have changed, but MS will never get my credit card information ever again.

Microsoft charges you without telling you. After my friend’s 12 months expired, we has surprised to find out that he had another year left. Microsoft automatically renews and charges your credit card until you cancel. lol

Hmm, $8.99/month? I thought you could usually get the gold membership in 12 (or 13) month increments for $59.99 from amazon.ca and such. Unless my math is bad that works out to under $5/month that way.
Sounds like a lot of hassle to save $4.

$8.99 is the automatic monthly billing rate. After your 30 days you can of course just sign up for the annual $59.99 membership.
This is basically an easy $1, 1 month trial for Xbox Live Gold. That’s worth it, but if you want to continue you should definitely look for a deal on an annual subscription.
