Are those dates correct? From 5 days before launch to launch day and that's it?

I guess I'll have to crack open one of those 1 month cards then. Oh, and go and pick up the game!

Dang it my Gold only expired a little while ago. Do you reckon that 48 hour trial they give you with the game would work with this? Im doubting it but worth a try?

You'll probably find it takes a little while to go up, as its on American time.

^ Yeah thats true. Well when it is up can someone tell me if it works with the card or not? Because I would rather save it for the future than use it now.

You cant use a live trial card to renew for a once gold account, you would need to create a new gamertag to use the 48hr live trial.

Doesn't look like its coming to the Australian marketplace. Went online with my US account and its there. The content is sponsored by Best Buy and I was unable to download as that account wasn't a gold account.

Go to the marketplace blade, then wait for the banner on that page to load, may need disc in drive.

Then just click on it and you'll find the bonus stuff.
