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.

Add my name to the list of people who were shipped the wrong item and can't do anything about it. I ordered the Live Starter Kit for the original Xbox so I could create an account to play Phantasy Star Online. I received a 1600 point card for Live for the 360. I do not own an Xbox 360. This item is useless to me. I cannot return it to Amazon or a Target store.

Stay away from this one.

I ordered this on 4/1/07. this kit expired 3/31/07. I emailed amazon for a replacement and they sent another that was expired too.

Target...I bought this from target. WHAT DID I GET? A *^&%ING XBOX 360(WHICH I DONT HAVE) POINTS CARD!!!!! I am very furious at the company for making that kind of mistake. I will not shop online with Target(R) again.

Be warned, do not order this item from target.
I ordered from target and received gamerpoints. I returned it for replacement and once again received gamerpoints.

DO NOT ORDER FROM TARGET UNLESS YOU WANT 1600 GAMERPOINTS

this was awful because I never received the product I thought I ordered. They kept sending me a points card for XBox 360. I wante the starter kit for XBox Live but never got it. I finally had to go a different route to get what I needed for my son for Christmas.

If you want an actual starter kit......don't waste your time and money here.....All you get is 1600 XBox360 points (what ever the h@ll those are). I should have read previous reviews. False advertisement.

Should rate this low because Target sent me a points card not 3mo XBOX Live for XMAS...
Some are the real kits though with no points card....
Be carefull
