Xbox live gold - needs LOTS of help ! _?

You can buy an xbox live card from anywhere they sell them.....It is not region specific because there are people that travel with their systems (military personnel, businessmen, etc) and they can't send off to the U.S. for a card everytime they need to renew their membership. I would recommend getting the 12+1 month membership for $49, that way you know you are good for 13 months at least.
