Anyone know where/how to pick up some Marketplace Points at a discount? The best I can think of is Best Buy's GGC.

yeah i was at BB and going to pick up some points and noticed they were 5 bucks higher than at gamestop....wonder what's up b/c seems everything else is priced the same.
so is 1600 points for 20 bucks the same if you buy them straight off the marketplace? or is cheaper to do it one way or the other?

Anyone know if Gamestop employees get their discount on the point cards? There's potential for savings there, if you know one.

Yes we do, and WTF is up with people getting taxed on these cards? The Gamestop I work at doesnt charge tax for the points, just like the World of Warcraft cards.

most games cost between 400-800 points, which is equivelant to $5-10.

Is that in store only? Cause they got wacked out pricing on the site (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Live-Marketplace-Points/sem/rpsm/oid/138280/catOid/-13861/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do) (well $20, but a phantom $10 savings...yeaaah)
