So ... £1 for one month? That's rather good value, providing you can buy 12 months for £12! More details?

I don't know if it's extendable at that price, I'll find out in August...

It won't be, it will just be for August only. They do it ever so often to get SIlver people to try Gold.

I've been the doing the £2 for 2 months thing since December last year.

All I do is remove the auto renew from my xbox account as it says the next payment is something like £5, let the 2 months expire and then when I fire up the xbox it has an advert on there, 2 months for £2 and repeat!

Me too but I've only been given the £1 for 1 month option since January. Mine will be getting renewed tonight but I done my lads last week and then there was only 3 months for £11 available, fingers crossed there's better options tonight.

I've been taking advantage of the various offers since day 1. But my last one (2 months for £2) expired at the end of July and I've not been offered one since frown

I keep holding off waiting for one to appear - but nothing yet!

If you're asking what I think you are, yes, it comes up automatically.

Plenty on ebay selling 12 months for £25.

Used ebay codes last 3 years and never had a problem.

Renewed mine yesterday, no £1 per month deal going at the moment. Ended up having to get the £11 for 3 months deal from the dashboard frown.

Sign in to the Xbox live on your PC http://live.xbox.com/en-GB/Home.
Go to "My Account" (top right).
The middle grey area of this screen you should see the current status "Automatic Renewal: On (Change)"
Click "Change" from that status line.
At this point it may ask to verify your account for security, if so just follow the instructions. Skip that part if it doesn't.
Just click "Continue" at the bottom right.
Select "Off" then "Save & Continue".
Sorted.

Im in the same boat just now. Needing to renew but hanging off paying full price. Last time for me was 3 months for £7 , but looking at the above comments it appears to have went up to £11.
Wasn't too impressed that my Netflix stopped working due to not having gold, despite the fact Im paying my sub to netflix. Iplayer doesn't require gold, and I realise that the beeb stipulated that had to be the case, and was what caused the delay of iplayer getting onto xbox.

This. Don't understand the mentality there? Ok, so other free services like having last.fm or the FB app or whatever, MS might get paid by them to be on there so want to keep the subscriptions rolling in via the gold membership - but Netflix requiring a monthly subscription should be enough!
