Be warned that if you order this from Target you will not get the 3-month subscription to Xbox Live, a Communicator Headset and a full version of Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge as stated in their product description. What you will get is a 1600 point Xbox 360 card. We found this out the hard way because we ordered it as a Christmas present for a friend and did not have enough time to exchange it for what we really wanted. You also cannot exchange this at a Target store -- only online returns/exchanges. Should have known something was up when it was the only one that came up for $25 when all the rest where $40.

I purchased this item thinking that I would get an Xbox Live Starter Kit, instead I received a card for 1600 Xbox Live points for use in the Live Marketplace. I tried returning it for an exchange twice and each time I received the card again. Amazon.com was very helpful during the ordeal, sending out a replacement as soon as I submitted an RMA online, even before I'd sent the card out. But I guess they have no control over what Target decides to send to its customers. Seems like theres an error in between Targets and Amazons inventory systems. I checked on the Target website and the Starter Kit was 39.99. Bottomline don't buy this expecting a Starter Kit.

I ordered this because it was listed under xbox 360, when it arrived my husband noticed that it was for xbox not 360 so I emailed the seller, the seller tried to tell me that it was compatible but the headset was not, which obviously I needed the headset if I ordered it for360 platform. When I called xbox 800 number they told me that its absolutely not compatible with 360. It also came in another language, I could not even read it and there was no game. All I got was some paper card in another language, a xbox headset that was put into a plastic bag and taped closed, and I dont know what the other thing is because I can not read Chinese. Please be careful if you ordering this for 360 because it is not what the listing says.
