Yesturday I tried to renew my xbox live gold membership using www.instantlivecodes.com as they were cheap. I was wary of buying xbox live codes from anyone but microsoft. After some googling I found some other peoples positive feedback of  instantlivecodes.com so I thought I’d try it.

I paid for a 12+1 months gold subscription at through paypal at 11:00 and recieved an email asking me to reply and confirm who I was. I did this straight away and waited for my instant xbox live code to be emailed to me. At 16:00 I’d still not recieved a code so sent an another email. 20:00 still no answer, send another email. At this point I thought that I had been tricked and was never going to get my instant live code from this site.

Finally, I did get it. The email was sent at 6:10 the next morning, 19 hours later. This wasn’t a problem just very misleading. The support pages says:

Q, I want my 12+1 Xbox Live membership . Like, right now! Do I HAVE to wait?
A, All Xbox Live membership codes are emailed to you instantly, please check inbox as soon as you’ve payment.

This just isn’t true. I’m not telling people to not use this company, just to expect a wait for XBL memebership.
