The only thing better than Xbox is Xbox LIVE - the online system that lets you play your Xbox 360 games not only with all your buddies, but also with complete strangers from all over the world! Whether you're in the mood for sports, racing or shoot 'em ups, you can play your Xbox 360 games online anytime, anywhere.
An Xbox 360 LIVE membership is available in two different types: Silver, and Gold. The Silver membership is available at no charge, and provides any Xbox 360 user with access to free game demos, and certain movies, TV shows, arcade games, and game add-ons. However, the real fun is found in a Gold membership.
Xbox 360 LIVE Gold members can play games online with their friends, access streaming Netflix movies, participate in live Xbox online parties & video chat, and access Facebook, Twitter, & LAST.FM via their Xbox. Plus, they are given early access to game demos and exclusive discounts only available to Gold members.
As you would expect, however, there is a price associated with an Xbox LIVE Gold membership. Currently, Microsoft offers a three-tiered pricing system for Xbox 360 LIVE Gold: $7.99 for one month, $19.99 for three months, or $49.99 for one year.
For many gamers, this is a no-brainer, and they will gladly fork out the money in order to enjoy all the perks they can get with the Gold Xbox LIVE membership. However, are you aware that there are hundreds, or even thousands of savvy Xbox 360 players who are keeping a well-guarded secret? Yes, it's true -- they are getting to play all their great Xbox 360 games online for FREE!
How are they able to do this? And perhaps more importantly, is it legal?
The answer to the second question is yes, this is absolutely legal. You see, there are web sites that earn money from market research sponsors when their users participate in surveys, contests, and other free offers. These generally consist of providing a bit of demographic information about yourself -- your e-mail address or your ZIP code, or perhaps your name, postal address, and telephone number.
Each offer you complete will allow you to earn credits or points which you can then redeem for your Xbox LIVE Gold membership. In order for this to work properly, the information you provide must be accurate, and any type of fraud will usually result in your account being deactivated and the loss of any points you may have already earned.
Although this process may seem a bit complicated, it can actually be accomplished with a minimum of effort. And the best sites add new offers regularly, so you can continue to earn your free Xbox 360 LIVE Gold membership time and time again.
So why not give it a try today, and start playing your Xbox 360 games online, absolutely free?
