I am just reposting what was posted by mbeno13 in the Request a Deal forum (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=195274)

The seller has been constantly selling out and then restocking, so if the deal is not there when you check, just check back in a day or so. Typical restocking times for the seller is 11:00pm - 2:00am EST, with it usually being around 1:00am. It is often everyday that the seller restocks, but not always.

see this thread for clarification: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=195274

many CAGs have already bought this, and through the codes claim to be expired, they work perfectly. the seller is very, very nice (had some problems with where i wanted it shipped, and he was very willing to work things out with me), but he only updates the offer once or twice a day, so you have to be quick on the uptake.

CYRiX
09-23-2008, 10:11 PM
Yeah I am one of those who bought it and used the 12-month, sold BSB2 for $6 on eBay, and sold the 200 MS pts. for $3, so I really only payed $21 for 12-Month's of XBL and a Headset.

I got wind of this deal in the "Request A Video Game Deal" thread and purchased one last week. It should be coming in either the end of this week or the next. I'm not worried at all, since a bunch of CAG's already reported it working on this and the last thread. As stated, the seller changes the prices from full to $30 and because of that, it sells out very quickly, just gotta catch it.. ;-)

Good luck...

If its the older bundle the codes may not work. Toys R Us and many other retailers clearanced the older Xbox live bundles because the codes have expiration dates on them. I wouldnt view this as a guaranteed great deal.

It's fairly well-known that the "expiration" dates on these cards don't actually mean much. Many, many users on here have bought "expired" cards and had them work. Hell, for awhile, people were still buying up and using old Xbox cards. Anyway, eventually, these things do stop working, but it certainly isn't according to the printed date.

Cheadyp
09-24-2008, 04:53 PM
Technically it says "Redeem by" on the cards, whereas on the mail-in rebate it says "expires," so maybe that has something to do with it.

He has been restocking every 1-5 days about. And sine it was originally posted in the Deal Request forum, he has restocked about 5 or 6 times.

And what is the TRU sale?

Can you stack another 12 month code on top of your current sub?

Yeah you can. Someone else said you can stack up to 36 months. And I personally stacked on top of my current subscription so it now ends in june 2010

Maybe it was one of these.

If it had the $20 off coupon, and didn't include the vision camera, then it would have been the exact thing here except twice as much.

Edit: Looks like Best Buy and Gamestop are reducing their 12 month kits to 49.99. Not a great deal, but in the period between this deal being active, it may be a decent alternative?

I was honestly surprised the deal was active as long as it was last night. The only reason I got it was because I randomly woke up around 2:30 AM EST. As that's around the time the deal has gone live a couple times, I just decided to stay up a bit, refreshing the Amazon page, and trying out my new Guitar Hero DS (which isn't half bad, by the way).

Considering I just bought a 360, I really needed a Gold membership, and this is a terrific deal. Unfortunately, it seems to require, more often than not, being awake early in the morning to snag it.

I believe I ordered Saturday or Sunday and received mine today with standard shipping. The guy/gal seems to keep the packages out fairly quickly. All three codes worked fine, and I'm tempted to fill out the expired 20 dollar off a 360 game voucher and send it in for the hell of it. Nothing to lose! Thanks again to the OP for the deal.

Just wanted to give this deal another thumbs up. All the cards listed an expiration date but they all worked fine!

Has anyone bothered to try and claim the $20 game rebate? It's *very* expired but everything else in the pack is and they still worked...

10-02-2008, 08:47 PM
I'm the guy that received a box without the 12 month or 200 point cards.

I emailed the seller, and within 5 days I have received a new pack, and everything inside is great, codes all work, etc.

The best part is that I didn't have to send back the old one, so I have a spare headset and Bankshot Billiards.

To summarize, this seller is fantastic, and I'm seriously tempted to buy a second bundle for the points and membership, and sell the spare game and headset.

I am really wanting to get in on this, but I cant stay up much past midnight on weekdays due to work. I am thinking about just buying the 13 month live card from amazon for the $38. Then try to get in on this when I can. My free month of live is ending here soon within a week or two, so I need to get in on something.

Do you guys know if he restocks over the weekends as well? Like tonight?

Like I said earlier, most Amazon sellers don't send shipping confirmation, and as someone posted earlier in this thread, this seller does not send out shipping confirmation. This person emailed the seller to find out the shipping status, but by default, this seller doesn't let you know when it shipped. According to folks in this thread, though, you should have it soon.

The seller is located in Tacoma, WA and ships via USPS media mail (unless you upgraded shipping). So make your shipping time estimates off of that.

I received my package the day after the person shipped it since I'm located in Seattle (30ish miles away from Tacoma).

That's what most of us have had to do. I kept waking sometime during the night for several days (randomly; didn't set alarm or anything) and checked each time I woke up if it had gone live. I always missed it. One night, I woke around 2:20 EST and decided to stay up until it was launched. Luckily for me, the seller refreshed his stock about twenty minutes later, and then the product was available for more than an hour, just due to the reduced traffic at that hour.

EVERYONE, THIS DEAL IS NOT DEAD...TECHNICALLY.

As reported numerous times by those who got in on this deal on-and-off, the seller usually restocks this item throughout the week between 11pm-4am EST. Obviously it has not been consistent, so you basically have to be checking it at the right time. Based on past experience, the seller may stock only 15-20 max at a time.

The listing still exists, so your best bet is to just keep checking this thread or refreshing the item's page during the times that have been indicated.

I saw this Vision Gold Pack for $40.97, but I asked the guy in the department to check the price on it anyway. Lo and Behold! $12.97! They had 2 left, and I snatched them both up. So check your local Sears. Oh, and did I mention it comes with the camera as well. A few weeks ago I was there and found 3 3 month starter kits with the microsoft points, the xbox live games, and the headset for $3.97 each.

Which Live set are you talking about specifically? There's about three versions of the 12-month ones and I'm guessing we can rule out the newest version with the new Microsoft packaging. So that leaves us with 2 (one with the Vision camera and one that doesn't).

Where are you located? I understand they are shipping from WA, and I'm in VA, so obviously it may take a bit longer to get to us, plus Media Mail blows as far as Delivery confirmation is concerned. By USPS regulations you have to wait at least 14 days from the date your shipment shipped to complain to USPS.
