I received a 30 day Xbox Live Gold membership for my Xbox 360 from someone as a gift, but it won't let me play Halo 3. It says it gave me 30 days of Gold membership when I input the code, and it says Gold member on my account on both Xbox.com and on my Xbox 360, but I can't play Halo 3 multiplayer (it says "you must have an Xbox Live Gold membership to play this game on multiplayer or an account with multiplayer capabilities", or something like that). I just entered the code like 5 minutes ago, could it be that it takes a little while to reach the server or something? It also won't let me put stuff in my Halo 3 fileshare, it says that I need Xbox Live Gold or Bungie Pro (and I just got Xbox Live Gold). Anyone know what the problem is and how I can fix it?
Well, some gold subscriptions don't let you play Ranked Playlists. Try playing Social Slayer or something.
Well it says you're playing halo 3 in match making right now, so did you get it to work in the last few minutes or were you lying about this whole thing?
