In order for an Xbox 360 game console owner to access and use Xbox Live for free, they need to purchase an Xbox Live Gold Premium Profile.
Of course, not every Xbox 360 owner is ready to spend their own money on an account. There are several ways to save money on this account and play Xbox Live for free.
Search for keys on specialized sites
Firstly, the owners of this console can easily find special sites on the global network that distribute passwords for launching Xbox Live. It is worth noting that this is far from always correct, and even more so, not all of them do it legally. Each user, deciding to purchase such a code, risks at his own peril and risk. Still, there are official sites that offer either to buy these codes, or to get them for performing some specific actions (most often they are distributed through a promotion). To begin with, the user should fill out a questionnaire. It should include your last name, first name, patronymic, email address and password. After the site sends you a password (comes to your email), you must enter it in the Xbox 360 menu and gain access.
Xlink kai
There is another option. In order to play Xbox Live for free, the user will need a special program - XLink Kai. This program provides the owner of the console to play those games that work through System-link / LAN. If the user has not registered before (did not create his own account on Xbox Live), then first he will have to: register Xtag on the XLink server (it indicates the nickname that other players will see).
The next thing to do is open a new port on the router. This requires you to connect your Xbox 360 to your router using an Ethernet cable. Further, in the web interface of the router, you need to find the "Port forwarding" parameter, enable it and open port 30000. In the XLink Kai program, in the "Configuration" tab, specify the number of the newly created port (while the value in the Kai Deep Port should be equal to zero).
You need to log into XLink Kai using your XTag login. After that, you can install the disc with the game into the Xbox 360 console, and select LAN / multiplayer in the console's menu. Next, find available games so that you can connect to the program's servers. Then, when the connection to the servers is successfully completed, all that remains is to find your game and the users who play it. It is worth noting that you can play only those games and with those players who are located in your city or country, that is, the ping of users must be equal to or less than 35 ms.
