Got this when on sale item and very good value. Great bundle for anybody starting with xbox live for the first time, in that it bundles headset and the 12 month sub. The other little extras- 200pts and billiards game I wouldnt get too excited but as freebies they sure dont do any harm. Recommend trialing the xbox live gold (you get 3 free 1 month trials per xbox360), and once your hooked (hard not to be) grab one of these packs.

This xbox live gold pack should only bought for two types of people.

1. People who will play at least 2–3 types a week on xbox live 2.People who are forgetful and turn on the xbox and expect it to have xbox live.

But it is good value for money as it is cheaper in the long run to just get 12 month Gold. I personally always get this option as I don't havew a regular pattern for playing on my xbox so I prefer to know that when I turn it on I can play online games eg Battlefield Bad Company

Very good value, 12 Months of Live is worth $80 so for 40 bucks you get a free live game, 200 points and a headset. very good deal

only gripe is headset feels somewhat cheap and 200 points is very little
