Whats the difference between an xbox live silver account and a gold account for the xbox 360?
Silver is the base free account that comes with all versions of the 360. It lets you download content like Arcade games, demos, rent movies and TV shows, and send messages to friends. Gold is what you pay for it it allows you to do everything Silver does along with play online multiplayer. You also get access to high profile demos first. You can buy pre-paid subscription cards in any store that sells game stuff or pay for it over Live with a credit card. The subscriptions come in increments of 1 month ($8), 3 months ($20), or an entire year for $50. There’s also a 13 month card which a lot stores have. It costs the same as the year one and just includes a bonus month for free.
