Can I pay for Xbox live randomly instead of every month?

Question

like instead of having a subscription every month can i pay for a subscription for like 3 or 4 months out of the year?

like can i subscride for certain months and not subscribe for certain months?

how does the xbox live thing work exactly?

Answer 1

Xbox Live subscriptions are a point-of-sale thing. When you want to play for a month, you order a month's subscription, and it is active immediately.

Your best course of action is to order it on a month-by-month basis. If you know you'll be playing a lot in January, then order it January 1st. You'll never be denied a subscription, because you're just paying for access to the network.
