The xbox live gold membership is paid for when you buy it. It never runs out until you have used all of the time you bought. Like say you bought a 12 month subscription it will last you the whole year until the day you bought the last one and activated it. Only time you use money is when you want to buy something from xbox live. All you need is the internet wifi or direct cable works. You can actually use your xbox live account on any xbox. Say if his friend has an xbox and has xbox live he can then use his account on his friends xbox to play online with his friend. You dont have to worry though every time he goes to an xbox he has to recover his xbox live account info so no one else can use it while he is using it. There is also a few new updates to keep his account safe as well when he does want to do something like that. also you can go into family settings and make it so he cant buy anything with out a pass code even put a timer on it with a pass code to limit time of play. So inclosing no you dont have to buy GB it just uses your internet connection and it does cover the cost of play for as long as you bought the subscription. Hope this helps :)
When you first sign up to Xbox live, you have the option for a free Silver membership, once you have signed up you will get offered free Gold Membership for one Month.
for a silver membership you do not need a code. once you connect to your internet you have live. to get a gold membership, in order to play online, you need a subscription code. if you have wifi you can get free xbox live by connecting a laptop to your xbox and having it act as your wireless network adapter. to learn how to do this google it. :) but for just a regular silver membership just connect it to your network.
If u have a credit card. connect your xbox to your network and enter the marketplace. there you will find the signup for LIVE icon and go from there. no credit card. purchace a Live membership from Target, Gamestop, Toys R us etc....Connect to LIVE with your xbox and enter the unlock code located on your purchased LIVE card. hope this helps.
