good looks

[labelmeoriginal]

Thanks OP. I'm tempted to jump on this.

[yokofox33]

The total actually comes to 26.76 because of the already in place discounts. So you're actually saving about 13 and change from this deal. I might have to jump on this.

Looks like Amazon price matching Kmart ad.

Don't think I can resist a deal such as this when you manage to save nearly $14 off retail price.

I do have a quick question though, if you already have several months left on your current Xbox Gold membership and you input the code for another Gold membership, does it automatically stack? Or do you have to wait until your current one runs out before inputting the code?

Only reason I ask is I finally upgraded to Gold for the first time ever due to BC2. Any help would be appreciated.

It automatically stacks.

[Hawkamania]

It automatically stacks.

Great, thanks a lot for the help!

[coolsteel]

Tempted, really tempted. I'll have to think about this one

[Kush]

I am very tempted as well. I'll probably bite since it's basically regular price for a point card and then $2 a month for 3 months of XBL.

Except for 48-Hour codes--you have to be silver to input those, but that's irrelevant.

$2.25 per month of XBL every cent counts. But your thinking is what I'm thinking. I'll have to debate this over.

[mistrsam]

Very tempting find OP
Why does that 3 month offer have to be there, diluting the deal up. I'd even be okay with $5 off 1600 Point Card.

[Kush]

Look at you with all your exact details. I figured it would be rather obvious that 48-hour codes would not stack ...and it's technically it's more like $2.256666666... and fractions of cents count ever more!

You would be surprised as to how many people do not know that 48-hour codes stack. Sorry, I did "6.76/3=2.253333" instead of "6.77/3=2.256666."

I, for one, did not know that. I have all these 48-hour trial cards, what shall I do with them?

[Kerig]

Amazon raised the price of their 1600 back to $19.64. They were on the ball with this one. (It's been $17.99 up until less than an hour ago).

FWIW: I was curious about the stackability/usability of 48 codes for Goldmembers.

Enter a code every 2 days, unfortunately.

I was sitting on the confirm order page which thankfully didn't change so that was enough for me to bite

[ZForce]

nice, I got in on this before the price increase. I was going to get some MS points anyway so I might as well tack on a few months of live for another 6 bucks.

[DukeEdwardI]

Well I DO need points, and my Gold is almost out, so this seems as good a deal as any. Wish I would have known about it before the price increase.

I just bought a 1600 points card last Wednesday at the $17.99 price. I opted for the physical card delivered rather than the $19.xx digital code instantly since I have PRIME shipping.

[Hawkamania]

Same here, I bit on this deal right after I saw this thread this morning. You really couldn't beat the money you saved compared to their retail price.

I feel the same way and why i will not bite on this. I want points since i got a year of live already. I hope they do a points only sale soon even $5 off would rock on a 4000 point card even.

[freshzen]

I want 2 1600 point cards for $26 and change :(

[ScottieBaio]

does this give you a code instantly or do you get a card in the mail?

[Bigandtasty]

Goldmembers.

heh, Goldmembers.

Card in the mail. Here's a link to the Online Game Code version.

Anyway, I already got a 1600 when it was $17.99, so if it already bumped back up to $19.64...naah.

[Hawkamania]

Amazon currently is selling the 4000-point cards for $42.54 with free shipping. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

[PenguinMaster]

The discount applies to 2 1600 Point cards as well.

[jrhawk42]

The discount applies to 2 1600 Point cards as well.

now that's something I can get behind.

Thats awesome. Thanks for pointing that out. Just got a year sub to XBL and didnt really want the 3 months. Seriously contemplating getting two 1600 cards.
