Question on the turtle beachs...

How easy is it to go back from TV Speakers to Headset. I don't want to have to plug in and unplug wires every time I want to use the headset/watch netflix.

Those gaming headsets plug straight into your xbox via usb plug, so you can just unplug them when you want sound to come from your tv/receiver.

Thanks

 

[mycoldyourdone]

uh i signed up for netflix for the 1 month free trial

i didnt know i needed xbox live gold to get it. it didnt really ask me.

but i also purchased 500 points cause i wanted to download the z0mb13 game.

so when was it that it added gold without asking me?

my gold plan is 3 + 3 months...which seems like a promotion going on right now

Mar 28, 2011MICROSOFT *XBOX LIVE BILL.MS.NE8.26
Mar 28, 2011MICROSOFT *XBOX LIVE 800-386-5528.47

what should i do? and is that 8.26 netflix? or the points? cause i just signed up for netflix on the 26th or something.

is it true that its very hard to cancel your Xbox Live subscription

the dashboard is doing that 40% off 1 year subscription. but it auto renews if you don't cancel it.

have heard from others' experience that its very hard to do so, and sometimes impossible

Trust me don't check auto renew I went through hell with that.It took me five calls to customer service to disable it. On xbox.com there is an option to disable itBut, it doesnt work you receive a error

 

[Thats My Word]

^Like vintage says. I hear MS automatically renews your membership without notifying you in advance. And when you call to tell them you didn't want to renew, MS won't let you refund. I don't even think you can uncheck auto-renew. My advice to you all, just buy an actual prepaid xbox live gold card so you won't have to enter any credit card info.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

I had to hop on the deal @ April 1 for X-Men..

 

[carver]

If you're looking to keep playing Xbox Live just buy another 12 month and add it to whatever time you have now.. but if you are just looking to cancel it, Then you have to call them suckers to get it canceled.

i ended up getting doom 2

Commander Shepard has already saved the galaxy twice, but the final entry in the Mass Effect trilogy could be either the hero's last stand or finest hour. Earth is in jeopardy, entire civilizations are at risk, and we've got all the details. Our latest issue has 12 pages of exclusive info, screens, and art that no Mass Effect fan should miss.

Subscribers should be receiving their issues in the coming days. After you finish reading up, don't forget to keep checking back with gameinformer.com throughout the month, since we'll have plenty of updates delving into Mass Effect 3 and the franchise as a whole.

In addition to explaining Shepard's latest mission, the May issue includes an in-depth look at Spider-Man: Edge of Time, a status report on upcoming Kinect software, and an examination of rumors that Activision might buy Take Two.

Thought of buying the card in-store. But XBOX lures you with these 40% off deals. And that is quite a bit of savings.I didn't try to input my CC info in yet. But I didn't see any un check option for auto renew.
