Advantages: the best online community ever!
Disadvantages: the playstation 3 is free for online play

...On purchasing an xbox 360 console you are given a free months xbox live gold membership which can be used once for each xbox live account that is created. However this of course only lasts for a month and after that initial month I was hooked and since then have bought and year's membership and love to play online with my friends over xbox live all the time! What is Gold Membership?: When you create an xbox live account on your xbox 360 there are several different things you have to do. You at first have to input your email address and password in order to verify the account. You then get to choose a gamertag to have - this is your special unique gaming name that you will be recognised as while playing on xbox live - mine is magicman142.

Xbox Live Gold Overview/Review

Advantages: Many Features! Cheap
Disadvantages: Needs Broadband Connetction

...If you have an xbox 360 i'm pretty sure you have at least tried Xbox Live Gold. If not I'll give you a run through. Xbox Live is a place where the gaming community can get together. They can play nearly every game online with each other and communicate even if not on the same game. There are two levels of xbox live.

...BHS Gold Card is the flagship credit card for Philip Green the owner of BHS stores. It is unlike any other credit card as it also allows you to shop at Arcadia stores which also include Topshop,Topman,Dorothy Perkins,Burtons,Evans. Another main feature of the card is the Choice Points system. This is a rewards system that allows you to accumulate different rates of discount offers, 5%,10% and 15% depending on how much you spend.

It is advisable to save the discount for a large shopping event. You can also use this discount in conjunction with other dicounts you get at special discount evenings. If you shop wisely you...

Review of BHS Gold Card

A gold card with gold service

Advantages: Great perks with the account cover
Disadvantages: High interest rates

...As soon as you hear the words 'gold card', you most probably think the same as i do. People with more money than sense who just love to flash it at the checkout to have a bit of a show off, not that i'm jealous (yes i am!!!). No i am not seriously, that image just makes me sick but the gold card from BHS is for EVERYONE and is not based on how big your wage packet is and it is a great little card card to have as i will explain. The application takes no time at all to fill out instore, about 2 minutes with the writing and then you have to wait about another 2 minutes whilst they are on the phone with the credit peeps. The decision is instant and they give you a temporary card to use until you shiny new gold one comes through the post about 7 days later. You will also be told of your credit limit straight away. The interest rate, as...

Xbox Live - It's another world

Advantages: Superb experience
Disadvantages: Its not free

...credit card style scratch card, you do get the code emailed through in a matter of minutes and all online sellers have to be authorised by Microsoft so you know you are buying a genuine code. Enter this code via the Xbox dashboard and instantly you are upgraded to Gold and can now begin exploring all the extra features. Online play The reason probably 99% of people buy the Xbox Live Gold membership is so that they can play online games. This adds another dimension to gaming as no longer do you just have to beat artificially controlled opponents, you can now take on the world and battle against other people who, like yourself, probably think they are pretty good at a particular game. With most of the popular games, you will never have a problem in being paired with an opponent. For example, when playing the new Fifa 10 game...

Review of HSBC Gold Card

Playing online, the future is now

Advantages: Great service, vast depth, cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: Can be a waste of money if your internet is poor, it is pre-paid...it is paid

...the next one won't even load? Oh well back to Mario Kart. A purchase of a 360 a few months later and many comments on how every one should Xbox live lead me to getting a 12 months gold membership for £35 (the catch was that I'd need to buy a wireless adapter for a further £35, but it was pay day, an easy excuse to spending money as soon as I got it). The subscription comes in the form of a scratch card with a code to enter on the set up screens when you've connected your console to the internet (not always an easy task) and viola you just need to make your account. Now you may look at the price and hmm and ooh and ahhh about it, but it's less than £3 a month, or less than £1 a week, or less than 10p a day. Though it must also be said that Nintendo's online services are free to play and you only pay for downloads such as Virtual Console...
