Can you get free shipping (with Prime) from individual sellers?

Only if they sent the card into Amazon's wherehouse and amazon ships it. In those cases, it'll say prime eligible.

I don't know if anyone posted this but if you have a silver account on XBL and sign into it you can get 2 months for the price of 1($7.99) and you can a riot shield item for your avatar. It should be under the spotlight section on your dashboard.

Its "Buy 1 Month of XBL get 1 Month Free" right now from the 360 dashboard.

Pretty nice deal on the Messenger Gold Pack on Amazon right now - $55.44.

Price went back to $39.99 on Buy.Com, right when I was just about to order one.

Even better, no tax free shipping, Provantage is great, fast shipping too!!

They seem to be out of stock, but I've ordered from ProVantage before and they are fine. However, I'm not sure I recommend the Messenger Gold Pack anyway. Project Gotham Racing 4 is pretty mediocre to lousy (I hated all the "kudos" crap, in particular parts where you had to get kudos to proceed. Annoying.) The chat pad is also of dubious purpose. It's big and bulky and rarely needed, especially since when you do need a keyboard, you can plug a USB keyboard into the 360 and use that (or so I'm told - I didn't know that before buying the Messenger Gold Pack and haven't actually tried a USB keyboard myself, but if it works, that would certainly be a lot easier and faster to type on.) It is sometimes handy, but most of the time I just want the humongous thing off the controller, so it's convenience isn't all that really.

Provantage is back in stock now. My screen shows 760 copies in stock.

For those who have not seen the Kmart thread for $10 off a $20 or more coupon, it works on MS points. I picked up a 1600 point card for $10 today. You need to add a little something to your order to make it over $20. I'm sure it'll work on live subs. also

K-Mart is kinda far but for $10 1600pts I might have to make a trip. Can you use multiple coupons on one transaction?

I'm going to try the coupon tomorrow. I didn't see it earlier today, else I would have made a couple trips!

No it has to be different transactions.

yeah $20 for $10 is a steal

just don't expect that KMart coupon deal to last long before they pull the plug on it. i know people have posted that they got refused when they tried to use it recently, and just because we got away with it at Target two years ago doesn't mean that we will get away with it at KMart after they catch on...

Under what legitimate context can they refuse? Doesn't the coupon scan? If it does, there's no reason why it should be a discretionary decision.

The only time they can refuse is if it requires a manual override. I'd raise an enormous fuss if it scanned and they wouldn't allow the sale.

I think you are missing the point. It's only $3 more dollars than buying a 12 month subscription card and you basically are getting a free game and messenger pad. My subscription runs out on the 25th so I am all over this deal. I already have a messenger pad and PGR4 is an alright game, but chances are I'll take my old messenger pad and PGR4 over to my local DiscReplay and trade them in and buy a blu-ray or something.

Supposedly it was supposed to be limited to the NY area but isn't mentioned on the coupon.

It now appears that there are 3 areas designed for use of the coupon: New York City, Chicago and Long Island. There are 3 different coupons which correspond to one of each of those areas.
