How to Join Xbox LIVE

This is the final step before you start enjoying the most amazing entertainment experience on Xbox LIVE.

The process is free and easy to follow.

You only require an valid email address and a high-speed internet connection.

There are two Membership levels available: Free and Gold. You can read more about what you get with each membership level.

Before proceeding, confirm the following:

If you have a Zune or Games for Windows LIVE account, it means you already have an Xbox LIVE account! All you have to do is to download the account to your Xbox 360 console, sign in and start enjoying the Xbox LIVE experience.

If you have a Microsoft account, you can use it for your Xbox LIVE account.
Note: "Microsoft account" refers to what was formerly "Windows Live ID". It is the email address and password you need to sign into Microsoft services (including Xbox LIVE).

This means that if you already have a Messenger or Hotmail account, you automatically have a Microsoft account.

So, during registration for Xbox LIVE, if you are asked for an email address, enter your Microsoft account.

If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can sign up for a free account on your computer, or during the signing in process for Xbox LIVE.

If you decide to go for Gold Membership, you should have your credit card information ready before proceeding with the process of signing up for Xbox LIVE.

Steps to follow

1) On your controller, press Guide then select Join Xbox LIVE.

2) Follow the instructions on the screen on how to sign up for Xbox LIVE.

Note: Make sure that you enter your correct date of birth when signing up. This will be used to determine whether you get a child account or an adult account. Once the account is created, you cannot change the date of birth.

Join Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack

With the Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, your family is given four 12-month Gold Memberships for less than the price of two. If you are interested, just select Family Gold on the Subscription selection screen.

No option for Gold Family Pack?

You might be using a child account, or the Gold Family Pack does not apply to your region.

Here is a list of countries that have access to the Gold Family Pack:

• Australia
• Canada
• United States
• United Kingdom
• Germany
• France
• New Zealand
• Japan
• Mexico

 

If you want to play with each other through Xbox Live, you will both need your own Xbox accounts.

 

You can set a console as your home xbox console tied with an xbox live account.

Any gold membership and game purchases are usable by any other xbox live accounts (account can be silver since they inherit gold). This only works on the home console, if the silver account is signed in on any other console, it won't have gold / game access.

eg if your son has gold and owns bf1 digitally, he should set his home console to the one at your house (giving you live and access to bf1 on a silver live account) and he can sign in over at his Mum's and still access his own content simultaneously.

Be sure to not have him auto sign in on the one at your house as it would kick him off if you turn the console on and he is online at his Mum's.

I think you have limited number of changes you can make a year re setting consoles as the home one.

I wish there were better options for families, would be easier to just buy a family pack of live (they used to have it) and be able to buy game passes for your family.
