[miqspot]

Just got an email from Buy.com with this deal. There may be better deals out there but this certainly isn't bad.

12 month Xbox Live Gold subscription + a bonus month for $38.99 and free shipping!

You can also use the Google checkout deal (for new users) to drop an additional $10 off!

[typeRJ]

sweet! in for two. my subscription and my bro's just expired two weeks ago. thanks for the heads up.

[ZForce915]

Thank you very much OP, I was looking for a $30 or less subscription.

[trax]

My sub doesn't expire until January, but since the GCO offer expires soon I figured I'd better take advantage while I could. Thanks OP, $32 for a year of XBL is a great deal.

The only downside was the tax. Stupid New York. I wonder if I'll get a refund when that new Internet tax law is eventually ruled unconstitutional.

Don't forget to select free shipping.

Good luck with that, Washington doesn't care about the Constitution or the internet.

Still, isn't a year of XBL like $50 or $60? I may have to pick this up especially since the Credit Card I use for my current account will not be able to renew next year since it expires soon and I don't feel like changing information yet. Thanks OP.

[YodaEXE]

Thanks much OP! I created a new GMail account so that I could use the GCO $10 off thing again. Great price!

What's a GCO $10 off? That may push this deal over the top for me then.

Also, can I hold on to this for about a year since my account just renewed? I don't think these cards have expiration dates, but I want to be sure before buying.

You can just tack this on to your current membership and it will add 12 months to it.

Yeah, I know :cry:

Amazon and Overstock have filed suit, so who knows, maybe we'll get lucky. Doubtful, but I can dream.

At any rate, I am keeping a running tab of how much tax I'm being charged from sites that should not have to charge it and will find ways to recoup that somehow. :lol:

Cool, I'll probably pick one up then.

And trax, that's a good idea I'll start doing that as well.

Google Check Out. The first time you use it, you get a $10 discount from your order. Look at the button below the Buy button on the page. All you need is a GMail account I believe.

Cool, thanks a lot. At $30 this is a steal, especially since it just adds an extra 13 months to what I currently have. I should be set for a while now then.

[force_assassin]

Nice! Thanks OP!

[sonnyforple]

Thanks, just got one.

[zymase]

In for one - upgrading from 3-5 business day shipping to 2 business days only cost $1. Pretty nice - comes out to $2.65 per month for Gold.

[WilliamG]

Thanks OP! Awesome deal.

[benjamouth]

Grabbed one, thanks OP.

Sweet find, thanks!

GCO doesn't work with this item when I try it.

[TheCollegeGamer]

Sweet find, thanks!

GCO doesn't work with this item when I try it.

Is it because of the coupon? Someone else said it worked for them but they didn't mention using the coupon.

[Ichigo1993]

very nice! Grabbed one for $28.99

Thanks OP

[Riyonuk]

I signed up for a GCO, and when I go to purchase it from Buy.com, it say's my current payment method is not valid. I have a debit card, do they not allow those?

[miqspot]

I don't think the debit card is the issue for you. I just used mine moments ago with google check out for this deal and it worked fine.

[HomieGFunk03]

Wow great deal on this! Thanks OP! I'm still not sure if I'm gonna use the card I bought or give it as a gift to my newly xbox live addicted friend.

[sweeper1303]

I was also able to get it for 28.99 thanks OP

[Riyonuk]

What kind? I've got a VISA from Well's Fargo.

[hwong3]

Has anyone tried to use GCO with a new account after getting a "too many accounts" warning?

[mykee98]

thanks op!!!

just got this for 28 bucks!!!

[Auror]

Thanks OP!! I've been waiting for Buy.com to drop the price down to $38 like they have done so in the past. In for $28!!

[jollydwarf]

Thanks miqspot, for the heads-up. I just purchased another year of paying to pretend like I'm finally going to go online and immerse myself into that Warg Pit of jackassery and adolescent-mindedness.

EDIT: And here comes someone from my "Ignore" list to say "Gee, you should feel right at home".

[CrimsonPaw]

Damn, my account JUST updated by itself last Saturday (right before I put in the 1 month from GTA IV). This is a good price and I'll probably need to jump on this to take me to July of '010.

[One4Deuce]

Great find, my current subscription expires in August so it'll be nice to have this.

[lucao]

wow i really needed this

[mattoz85]

Thanks a lot OP! Got this for $28.99.

GCO doesn't work when you use the 5% coupon, so if you've got a choice, GCO saves more than the 5%.

[red_devil3]

Awesome, thanks! Just got a 360 and was looking for a deal for this...got it for $28.99.

It is kinda annoying to create new gmail accounts again and again...but its worth it!

[grimlock49]

thanksn OP. Stupid CA tax too :(

[TheCollegeGamer]

Is this deal one day only or can I wait until tomorrow? I'm not really sure I'll have the money available until tomorrow.

[white_s2k]

Just got in on this. $28 for 13 months, Thanks OP!

[wildpantha05]

Great job OP, I don't expire till January I think, but this is something you just have to scoop up!

[KaneRobot]

Nice. Was waiting for a deal before I re-upped.

Thanks.

[VooDoo88]

i have been in dire need of a new subscription. In for One! thanks OP!

[Megaten]

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but aren't they also having a promo going on right now where if you buy a 12 month subscription, you get the XBLA game Heavy Weapon for free? That on top of the already low price makes it an even better purchase (if so).

[morpheus47]

Got one, thanks OP

[paintball745]

thanks op i don't expire till like march but i figured i would hop on this it was to good of a deal not to.

[Quintessence]

My subscription is going to be up next month, so this is good timing for me. I picked up one.

Thank you OP!

[HotShotX]

Perfect timing, Crimson and I are due for a renew.

~HotShotX

[SlowGraffiti]

My subscription expires next month so this couldn't have come at a better time. Now I'm set for 13..no 14 months since I still got the 1 month trial that came with GTA IV.

[mikkymuffins]

Thanks OP my sub just expired!

[bearcatjosh]

Is there any way of knowing how long this deal lasts?

[YodaEXE]

Is there any way of knowing how long this deal lasts?
Not really. Personally, I wouldn't put it off more than a couple days, just to be safe.

[bobbarker24]

Thanks a lot, great deal I got it for 32.90 after tax. Thanks again op

[rmb]

Is there any way of knowing how long this deal lasts?
Not really but this is pretty much their price for this it moves around a little bit but not too much. Just check the link below for proof. I posted this a few months ago. It needed a repost though.

[WatTsu]

Alright, forgive my ignorance, but how do I actually use Google Checkout? I signed up for a new account, went to Buy.com, got all the way up to the cart and the checkout point...but it doesn't register my $10 off.

I've never been able to get GCO to work, so I've never used it. Am I missing something? Please help.

Otherwise, excellent deal.

[bsesb2003]

Perfect timing! Thanks!

[bobbarker24]

WATSU- U have to register with Google checkout through buy.com when you get to the check out page it asks you on the left hadn side of the screen to register.

I had registered on gco page before I realized that it had to be done through their page, but then I canceled it and re registered through Buy.com.

[SlowGraffiti]

I ordered mine on Thursday and I still haven't recieved shipping confirmation yet, has this shipped for anyone else? My live is about to expire very very soon.

[SlowGraffiti]

I hate to double post but has anyone else's shipped yet?

edit : nevermind guys I just got shipping confirmation

[gryphter]

score, I just got one as well for $28.99. The 5% off coupon from the bottom of page 1 will not work with this, I had to remove that from my shopping cart to be able to get the GCO discount

[mmgreenmms]

Mine just shipped today.

[bobbarker24]

mine shipped a day after I had made the purchase, but the tracking number I received is no good.

[SGT Killjoy]

awesome, in for one with my new GCO

[s00pNAZi]

Even with paypal virtual debit, they still cancel my order. How do you guys use it so many times? Ive probably used it 2-3 times so far.

[nukacola23]

Thanks Cheapy for my first CAG deal! Damn California taxed me, totaling out to $31.82, but that's still a steal for 13 months of Live Gold!

[uglyteradon]

Perfect timing! Needed this for a friend, thanks for the information OP!

[Trusty Mutsi]

Any idea how long the Gold card will be at this price?

[Serpentor]

i thought there's no such thing as 13 months card... oh wait, the one extra month is a bonus. Hey, this thread reminds of the spoon and toilet paper thread, lol.

[bone_matrix]

So, I ordered one a while ago, but still haven't received it yet. Said USPS received it the 24th.

My question to anyone that has received it, is what kind of package is it in? Just an envelope, or a small box?

[ikoraiza]

I ordered mine on Tuesday and it still hasn't shipped yet.

[benjamouth]

Got mine a couple of days ago and today I got an email from Buy.com trying to sell me an extended warranty on it :rofl:

Maybe I should get the warranty, scratch off the panel, then claim on the warranty.;)

I received mine yesterday. I had the offer for the warranty as well. I gave it a quick chuckle. :booty:

Is everybody getting the new style of card?

[grimlock49]

I got mine while I was away on business and haven't opened it yet. I'll post once I get off work today and check it out.

[kn1ghtrydr]

I got mine yesterday but instead of a gold subscription card I got 4000 microsoft live points. It's a hassle to send it back though so if my other order comes in with what i actually ordered (subscription) I might as well keep the stupid points.

[red_devil3]

They are sending it through UPS. Will probably get it on Monday.

I hate it when they use UPS for such small items...AND I have to stay at home just to get the delivery.

[mmgreenmms]

Got mine yesterday. I got the new design (if that makes any difference).
looks like this:

Haha, thats cool. My dogs will get a little enjoyment out of the package before I open it.

[TheCollegeGamer]

So these stack on my current paid subscription, right? Since I've already paid until June '09 if I put this card on now I should be good until August of 2010, right?

[uuaww]

man, i just bought my 360 for $200 on here, then 2 controllers for 45 and now this... cag is ruining me!

[Organ Donor]

In for one since my subscription is up soon. Thanks, OP!

[shujikun]

Thanks, in for one! I was relying on 48 hour free trials and random monthly free trials from games I purchased... Although I have another free month of xbox live stashed away, this deal was too good to pass up!

[gameboykid14]

Got mine today I'm good until January of 2010, now.

[SlowGraffiti]

Got mine today as well, I'm set until September 2009, now I just need for Call of Duty 4 to go on sale somewhere...

[shinryuu]

Ordered mine yesterday. :D

[rlm2112]

I'm still waiting for mine. The last delivery confirmation entry just says:

Jul 5 2008 07:31PM PROCESSED

I really hope it comes today.

On a side note this is the second time I've bought game related items from Buy.com using an outside checkout system (Paypal the first time, Google checkout this time) and if you have a problem or want info, like tracking number, ect.., Buy.com will not help you. Luckily Google emailed me the tracking number, Paypal did not, so I have some idea what's going on...BUT both times Buy.com's shipping has been atrocious. In the past i bought a Joytec 8" PS2 Screen (http://www.buy.com/prod/joytech-playstation-ps2-8-digital-lcd-monitor-screen/q/loc/108/201610390.html) from them, which was an excellent product but there was a problem with actually mounting it to the PS2. Sony decided to remove the two mounting holes in the back it used to screw on, so after waiting forever for it to come i had two choices: return it...or get out the drill. After i drilled the holes, one side cracked and was kinda fucked, but the screen hid it. MONTHS later I got an email from Buy.com saying that they had become aware of the problem with this product, and were going to send me a new free mounting kit in the mail, and I just needed to reply and say I wanted it. I did just for the hell of it. 2 Months later another email comes, this time from the head of the gaming dept at Buy.com. He explains that they are having trouble getting the kits from the manufacturer, and they are coming from overseas so it could take awhile. 2 Months later (at least they are consistent in their inefficiency) I get another email from them saying they are sending me a WHOLE NEW Screen just for the mounting kit, but I could keep the screen too free of charge. Remember this was over $150 when i bought it, so they were basically giving me $160 free. 2 or 3 months later It arrives, and sure enough it is the complete screen in retail box and a couple cheap metal brackets and screws for the new mounting kit.

So because I mounted the screen myself with actual nuts and bolts, not crappy screws, I had no need for this new monitor. Being a CAG I thought about what I could do with it, and had a great idea. At the time I had an Xbox 360 Pro that I bought off eBay for $300 with 3 games an extra controller, and other extras. Since the elite had come out a couple months later, I really wanted one for the HDMI and extra HDD space, but I was stuck with my crappy used 20 Gig from 2006. So I decided to sell the Xbox with one controller and a free copy of Shadowrun I won from a podcast (not CAGCast) and the Joytec moniter on eBay. I got enough money to buy a new Xbox 360 Elite, and a 64 MB memory card to transfer saves (and to later use for Dead Rising's retarded save system).

So here we go, I got the following for $300 US

Xbox 360 Elite System Console Includes 120GB Hard Drive, HDMI cable with digital Fiber Optic audio adapter, and standard component/composite video cable - $449.99

Xbox 360 64MB Memory Unit - $29.99


Extra Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - $49.99 (extra with first 360)

Microsoft Halo 3 Faceplate Xbox 360 - $29.99 (extra with first 360)

Gears of War - $59.99 (extra with first 360)

Tony Hawk's Project 8 - $59.99 (extra with first 360)

Sonic the Hedgehog - $59.99 (extra with first 360) (never played)

So that's:

449.99
+29.99
+49.99
+29.99
+59.99
+59.99
+59.99

= $739.93 worth of stuff that I only payed $300 for!

even if you don't count the games it comes out to $559.96 for $300

What does the CAG community think of my awesome deal?

[MIX_MASTER_ICE]

On a "side note?" That's more like both sides and both the top and bottom. lol

[Afrocious]

I clicked this thread to see if the deal is still up. It's not :(

[ikoraiza]

I got mine last week. It kicks ass.
