Buying an xbox 60gb, got some questions!

[Bouncing]

Hey I'm ordering the 60gb tonight/tomorrow morning and I was wondering some things:

If you select silver xbox live do you still get a free month of gold?
Can you buy like 3 months, 1 month etc instead of 12 months on xbox live instead of buying a card from somewhere, if so how much are they?
If I get gears of war 2 next week is it bound to be out of stock or should it be in stock in shops like game etc?

Yes you can, on the Xbox it costs £4/5.99 p/ month and for 3 months it will cost you £14/15.99, and yes if you choose silver, you get 4 30 day FREE trials of Xbox Live Gold.
Most likely will be in stock as it is not a very good game...

Its actually £3.33 a month, Gears 2 will be in stock , just go with the gold box, i would suggest just buying 12 months it works out better

yeah ty for reply, also though does the bridge connection work well as I will be doing that on a vista laptop.

Gears of War 2 is a good game, ignore him.
