pretty likely it will be gone, if you do not order one once the deal goes live. Once sd gets the news, they will clean out the whole stock

awesome timing..i missed out on the buy.com deal on the 12month cards because i didnt know my subscription was about to expire.. ive got some 48hr codes to last me till sunday. thanks op.!

12 month XBL cards are selling at ~$45 on eBay right now. Even at this price point there's no sense on flipping once you factor in tax, fees, shipping, time, effort etc. It will just net you a profit of a buck or two.
You might even incur a loss. Since the the price will definitely drop some more once eBay gets saturated of these by baffoons keeping on undercutting each other by a penny lol.

Think I'll just price match Tigerdirect with their $35 12 month card this week and not risk anything next week.

Not to mention the risk is completely on the seller. If a dishonest buyer purchases one of these from you and simply says it did not work, you are out your $. All he has to do is send you back the card with delivery confirmation and Paypal will give him his $ back from your account while your stuck with a scratched off used Xbox Live card.

So no trad-in bonus next week?

Thanks OP I need another year.

does amazon ever price match xbl cards?

Will the $5 coupon that came in the mail work with the XBL card?

I'm there with you. These deals are just ass not cheap. Yet someone with low patience, or no bestbuy, or uniformed, or our favorite person to bag on, soccer moms, will go to target and buy these games. Target isn't going to stop having videogame "sales" just because somewhere else has done better.

Dude put all that XBL sub money toward a PS3, it has a better Netflix app.

PS3 NETFLIX app is complete garbage compared to 360 one lol they are not even close.

why would you flip xbox live 12 month cards? just about all the time some kind of retailer is selling them for 35-40 bucks. It's not like they are never this cheap.

Post that question on SD.

Whatever you are smoking must of fried your brain. The PS3 App is way cleaner, and less cluttered

1. GUI on the PS3 netflix app is superior.
2. Some titles allow for 5.1 audio and subtitles (360 doesn't do this)
3. Movies buffer and begin playing much faster on the ps3 compared to the 360.


Most importantly--> the simple fact you don't have to PAY to use a service you are already paying for.

People paying to use services they are already paying for is Asinine .

exactly what I was thinking...

Is there anywhere I can find the TV deals for next week...I'm shopping for a 47-55, and I'm not sure if I should wait til next week.

no way, you actually save time , I'm happy I ordered one. you also save gas, and you don't have to go to the store, and end up buying more things you don't even need.

I like earning the RZ points. My local employees let me reuse the 3x RZ points coupon during the whole promotion period too.

You're right that going in for gas and what not can be costly but my local BB is next door to my gym so I don't really go out of my way whenever I pop on by. Not to mention just supporting local B&M is good for retail anyhow.
