Gold account for the first 30 days. But what are Xbox live accounts?
Xbox live has 3 types of accounts. Guests – This is just as it sounds. Silver – The base account. & Gold – The premium account.
Ok so what do they each give you here is the breakdown.
Silver gets you Free Game Demos, HD Movies, HD TV Shows, Downloadable Arcade Games, Game Add-ons,
Avatars, Avatar Fashion, Voice & Text Chat.
Gold gets you all the things you get with Silver plus Photo Sharing, Play games online with friends,
