Hey guys,
I just bought my Series X and wanted to know if there are any of those cheap 3 years of Xbox Live still currently working? I do know my mate that done this sometime last year but it seems its tagged as expired now?.
Im looking to purchase 3 years of Xbox Live and then convert using the $1 GPU method.
Thank you!
When did it stop working? It was working a couple of weeks ago
Maybe only new setups not current ones ????
not sure on the neg, simply reporting on my experience. YMMV.
I got a 'region error' when trying to convert my Brazil Gold sub to Aus gamepass ultimate. All the reps I spoke to said it was because I bought the gold sub from a different country and there are lots of people taking advantage so they are trying to crack down.
Check out the 8 pages of comments on the original deal page and you'll see others having a similar experience, as well as updates in other forums.
Just wanted to warn others so they don't risk losing their $. My saving grace was finding a helpful rep but it took me half a dozen tries to find one who was willing to do it for me.
@Adredocto: yea dont know about the neg either… at least you got yours sorted… I expected MS to have cracked down on it at some stage, jut surprised it took so long.
Worked fine for me about 3 weeks ago with brazil gift cards.
I'm a bit worried that they are still allowing units to be sold. Something tells me this is a mistake
It's not as cheap as the brazil method (which still works as far as I know) but I've just been telling friends to grab three years from JBHIFI because it's easier

It's works out at $240 for the three years but still $336 cheaper than retail.
If you add 3 years, you cant add the platinum month to it upgrading it to platinum, so defeats the purpose.
I think you can but you gotta switch off recurring payments and make sure you di it from dot..
My friends just used a 7 or 14 day trial code. I think it came with a series x controller from memory, but you can buy them online for a few bucks as well. Works fine with recurring payment off
I've been waiting months for a cheaper non-Brazil way of getting the three year upgrade - a sale or a different retailer - but haven't seen anything.
Time to bite the bullet on three JB Hi-Fi Live Gold cards for $240 or is it worth still holding out?
Gold cards are discontinued I believe, so I wouldn't wait. They could go cheaper or they could disappear completely
I know before that if you had an active subscription from any other region and it had not run out you could not add a different region to it. Eg if you had 1 month left of Australian live sub you could not add 1 year Brazil sub to it until the Australian sub had expired.
Just completed the three years of Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate using the other methods mentioned on Ozbargain.
Conversion ration of 1:1.
What site did you use to purchase the codes?
Cdkeys
Did you buy 2x12month + 3 month & 1x6 month?
I just did the upgrade for 3 years. I bought codes on 13th of March. Supposed to be Brazil codes, but received Turkish. Only just did the whole process now as I didn't realise the 3 month trial only finished yesterday. Did the upgrade for 15.95 as we'd used the $1 upgrade.
Where did you buy your codes from ?
Got it from this deal.

Says expired, but might be still ok?
Legendary! Just did this last night and can confirm have been playing Outriders and Battlefront 2 all day! Cheers Demod
@WattoWatson123: So you just applied the 3 years of gold and then the $15.95 GPU conversion? Was your subscription fully lapsed before you purchased the gold?
@TightTerry: I have never used the Conversion in the past, had live on and off over the years and finally made the jump and brought 3 years of Brazil Gold and then the $1 conversion.
EDIT*
Replied on the wrong line so removing duplicate comment.
The Brazil method doesn't work anymore MS really cracked down on it. Only way to get it converted is for them to manually over ride
Source: did the conversion last week after freaking out of wasted $ on 3 years of live. Took at least half a dozen different MS reps until I got one that would do it for me.
Assume u can still buy in Aus and convert that way. That saves about $5/month I think.
