Awesome, got things worked out and he sent the codes. You can only put in two 4,000 points card a day, apparently, though.

I bought 5, so I'm good for at least the next year. There is an even bigger discount for that many. It basically means every game I buy is half price now. 400 pts games become $2.50, 800 pts games become $5.

Thank for the heads up guys. It was worth the risk.
 
Live points have seriously become a beast on their own. Between the insta purchases on Amazon and then this stuff hitting Ebay it's something else.

This is going to lead to much more impulse buying....I think allot of publishers are going be very happy soon:lol

I already know that I will now by Scrabble (totally worth $5, but not worth $10), Lode Runner, Phantasy Star (already have it on Ultimate Genesis Collection, but having it on the Harddrive with achievements for $2.50 is worth it), and a few others. But after the first 4,000 are gone, I'll slowdown and become more judicious.

Too bad there are no Wii and PSN point deals that are comparable.
 
I wish they did a pre-order system or something for some of the XBLA games. With incentives of exclusive content and early download times.
 
Hey, I ordered 2 codes and it works, does MS still have a 10k cap on these points? Or can you put in all you want now? I don't want them to expire or some shit.
 
Alright, ordered one and recieved the code within 15~minutes.

If anyone is having issues be sure to check your spam box, mine went straight there.

Hum, never had this many points in my account at once before. Cool.
 
Holy shit, the code was sent to me literally a minute after purchase. :lol

Glad I got in just in time too – $20 worth of free points is pretty nice.
 
$200 worth in spacebucks for $121.98? :lol

I have 10080 points right now. Whether there's a cap above that, I can't say, of course...

I still have 18k from the last coca-cola promotion. So if there's a cap, its not 10k.

Well a long time ago I added points and exceeded 10k, so it wouldn't let me add anymore until it was under 10k, so the max would be like 14k, that was a couple years ago though.

Ah, I see!

Here I come, battlefield 1943.... whenever you get here, that is. Maybe I should grab Rocket Riot as well. Hmmm.

I'm pretty sure you can't add more than 8,000 points a day to any account (but you can add them to other accounts if you have them).

Can someone confirm this?

I ordered 2 more for 16000, when those come in i'll try to add them and post. I have 12k in my account now so, i'd have 20k.
 
Yeah I got mine maybe about an hour or so after I sent the dough.

Bought Triggerheart Exelica to celebrate! :lol

Now if only I can stop playing Peggle

Also how is that Joint Strike game?

About the nicest thing I can say about Joint Strike is that it's an easy 1CC even on the hardest difficulty. Otherwise it's like 19XX mixed with a bit of 1943 Kai but without the tight level design, great weapon balance, and absolutely entertaining gameplay. It feels bland, copy/pasted, stiff, and just a complete mediocrity. I'd recommend just playing Kai or 19XX instead(though you have to go the PCB/emu route to play that one...shame).

Triggerheart is great though. The learning curve is pretty rough but compared to Joint Strike it's night & day in terms of everything.
