Question about Marketplace points?

[bisquit]

Hola, i just got my 360 today and was wondering, is it better to buy marketplace place thru the xbox. It looks like you get more points for your money doing it that way. Thanks

Well, its more points for your money when you consider things like gas and sales tax. Otherwise, its still the same $1 for 80 Points.

They dont charge sales tax when you buy them @ the store.

I wasn't charged sales tax when I bought mine though the 360, even though there's sales tax in Arizona.

When i checked Best buys website for $25 you get 1600, but on the 360 $25 gets you 2000

I'm not sure why they're charging $25. www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Live-Marketplace-Points/sem/rpsm/oid/138280/catOid/-13250/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

They're most likely charging $5.00 more due to the ability to use a GGC .
That's why I refuse to buy them at BB .

Oh, gotcha.

No sales tax here on the marketplace points, either.
