umm... Ok, you know you get a 1 month gold trial? I didn't have a wireless adaptor for most of that, so it was wasted. Can I get another trial? If I can, that means I can play CoD online tonight and save £12 by getting a 12 month sub off of ebay. And I might need a headset or something too, are they all wireless or something?

No, you can't. You have to buy it.

CanI suggest you to follow your previous link? :D

The headset is powered by plugging it into your controller. ;)

Normally speaking you should've gotten a redeem code for that gold trial, which you shouldn't have used if your internet wasn't working....

On-topic: I like how the seller's comment is "DON'T BUY THIS". That made me snicker.

agghh... What to do? Buy it tonight for £loads, or save money and hopefully get it by the weekend?

And Jarlino, I have wireless controllers, do they still plug in?

See that little opening on the bothom of your controller? That's where they plug in. ;)

A little fun fact, since I have nothing else decent to add to the topic:
A wired controlller is the same as the wireless ones, just has a power cable running from the opening at the top of the controller.

Why did someone do this, just for the hell of it?

That's why you can use a wired controller on PC whitout the receiver, and a wireless one requires it.

This is limited by model, for instance this shouldn't be true for arcade consoles.

I can't remember how eBay works, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think once you've put an auction on you can't remove it or they charge you for removing it.

The seller may have changed his mind about the auction or something so put a stupid price so no-one would buy it. But that's just my guess.

It's 4 new accounts per console once they are used up it silver automatic. It needs to be one with a HDD.

That should be fine.

The account needs to be created on the 360 and not xbox.com

Woodland, even if none bid it you always pay something to ebay. But I don't know how much...
