How to create an account on XBOX Live

We continue with the functions of the versatile XBOX 360, and this time will learn to create an account on XBOX Live . One great advantage is that if your console is new, Microsoft will give you one month of free Gold account, which allows you to access exclusive content and play against other users. Another point to keep in mind is that if this applies to three XBOX Live accounts that we create with the same machine, which would allow us to enjoy three months of Gold account without paying one euro.

You will need to:
  • An XBOX 360 console previously connected to the internet.
  • Have a user profile inside the console.
  • A Windows Live address (optional, since you can create it within the same console by following these steps).
Steps to follow:

one

Within the dashboard of the XBOX 360, go to the network part and log in with your profile. After this, we went to the XBOX Live part and selected "Bazaar XBOX Live".

two

Then we will indicate that we want to create an account for Live .

3

When the welcome window appears, we give "Accept"

4

At this time it will tell us if the gamertag (player profile) that we have created is available. If so, ask us if we want to keep it or want to change it for a new one. If the gamertag was already selected by another player, we must change it yes or yes.

5

In this step, you will ask if we have a Windows Live ID. If yes, we say yes. Otherwise, we put "No, create one." Which will allow us to do it right there

6

Subsequently, we indicate the username and password of our Windows Live account and we give "Login."

7

We choose the data of region and language that correspond to us and we give "Next".

8

At this point we indicate our personal data and we give "Next".

9

We read and accept the privacy contract.

10

Now we will choose the type of account we want. If the console is new and we choose the Silver account, we will be credited one free month of the "Gold" account. In the case of having chosen Silver because it is a new console, we will give "Keep Silver" when you ask us. In this case, it will indicate that we have a month of Gold account. We give "Continue".

eleven

At this point we enter the data corresponding to our address and we give "Next".

12

Now we choose the preferred game area according to the way we play. This option is valid when playing online. It is useful for us to meet users who play the same way we do, since it is not the same as someone who plays to pass the time as someone who plays to win always.

13

In this step, you will ask us if we want Microsoft to send us information about games and promotions. We choose the option that we want convenient.

14

Finally he asks us if we want our data to be sent to other companies to receive promotions and information about them. Once again we choose the option that suits us best. We already have our XBOX Live account created and with it we can access the XBOX Live Marketplace as well as play online.

Tips
  • To be able to use XBOX Live Gold, you must be of legal age. If this is not the case, your parents will need to create a Windows Live ID and authorize you to play.
  • At the time of registering an email address where you specify that you reside in Spain, you will access the content of the Bazaar that is available for our region. If to create an account you specify that you were born in the United States or Japan, for example, you will access the bazaars of their respective countries, which have exclusive content for those areas and is usually much larger.
