5 - During the creation of your profile you will be asked to choose the membership type you want either Silver membership or Gold membership.
I'd advise you to choose Silver membership if this is your first, second or third online profile on this console.
As for the first three Xbox 360 Live profiles you are eligible for 1 Free month Gold trial if you choose Silver membership. It will be upgraded automatically to Gold but only for 1 month free.
After this month you will be downgraded to Silver or you can extend your sybscription either for 1 month, 3 month or 12 month using either a credit card ( Visa card, Master card or American Express ) or a prepaid card.
Note if this is your after the third online profile on this console, you can't have this free month gold trial.
And if you create this gamertag on xbox.com you won't have the free month gold trial.
