Using an XBL Subscritpion Card for 360 on the original Xbox

Alright, quick question. Can I buy an Xbox 360 subscription card and use it to make a new XBL account on my orginal Xbox? I used google and couldnt really find a straight answer, just people saying contradicting things on other forums. I trust someone here would know.

I had to sell my orginal Xbox about a year ago while having some money issues, and yesterday my g/f bought me a used one. The previous owner had XBL so all the software was already installed. We tried to just make a new account with a CC but it seems you HAVE to have one of those stupid sub. cards to sign up, which is annoying. We're going to go grab one tonight after she gets off work, but the only place that will be open is Wal-Mart and they only have Xbox 360 cards...

Just the idea that a place could be "sold out" of Xbox Live accounts is ridiculous. Oh, and if anyone here has an extra 2-month free trial code and wanted to give it to me, I could always use that too ;)

EDIT: Okay, I talked to an Xbox Customer Service Rep and apparently I can't use an Xbox 360 subscription code. Now I'm trying to find a game that maybe has one of the free trial codes. This is really annoying...

Boo fucking hoo.

I was kinda wondering the same thing, cept I'd like to see if a normal xbox sub can work for 360.

I'll check back once this thread gets better.

I'd like to know this as well. My local TRU is liquidating their original Live subscription cards. I can get 12 months for $10, and would like to stock up if this works on the 360.

Hmm, now that I think about it, it might work only once. I'd suspect you'd have to activate it on your original xbox and then migrate the account. After that though, I don't think you can use the cards on the 360.

Any confirmation of this would be appreciated.

Original XBOX Live subscription cards work fine on XBOX360. I think you can also use more than 1, they just stack up. Not sure about that one, though.

I stacked 2 original Xbox Live cards on my 360, works fine. I've got live until like 2008 or something like that.

I stacked the 12-month subscription that came with the Mech Assault Live boxed set (cost me $8 at TRU) and now have Live through Dec. 2007!

I know the feeling - one of the 12 month subs I got was $9.99 - so awesome. My other was a Crimson Skies bundle that was $29.99.
