Notes
- Most of what you can do on your Windows Phone can be achieved with a free Xbox LIVE membership. However, if you also play games on an Xbox 360 console, you might want to consider buying a gold Xbox LIVE subscription for access to tons of exclusive content and the ability to play online with friends.
