I can't seem to play these, I like the relaxed gameplay but usually the colors light green & yellow are too similar for me to be able to recognize them which ruins the gameplay.
Lumines is the same way, i always die at the stage where the blocks are close in shades of color.
I wish developers would pick colors they aren't close in shade.

I've never had that problem. You may have some type of color blindness.DJ Sl4m said:
Speaking of puzzlers, I really wish Sega would bring Puyo Pop to XBLA. That should be a no brainer. Sega has also been sitting on Chu Chu Rocket.

Just a quick update, this guy (the first one) is now using the weird Ebay Classifieds for Xbox Points. You can now get 4000 Microsoft Points for $30 or 1600 Points for $15.
Classifieds basically get around ebay entirely (it's weird) where you e-mail the dude, he gives you his PayPAL account e-mail and you send him the money outside of Ebay.
I just did it with an 1600 Point card for my US account, got the code promptly and it works.

I've been saving my points for MvC2, but if battlefield comes out that'll screw up my savings dammit. When MvC2 coming out again? It's this month right?

GOOD LORD that sounds sketchy, but you said it works, so I'm going to email him for a 4000 point card.
Did you send an email thru eBay, or just directly to the email he has listed in the ad?
SHOTEH FOCK OP said:
I sent an e-mail through Ebay to him, and he told me how it works. Classifieds are a new way to do stuff it seems, trying to get into that lucrative craigslist market.
It is sketchy sounding (dude is in China) which is why I went for the 1600 point one. It worked, so that's all good and done. I guess just doing the classified version is cheaper for him.
I think you need a PayPAL account with this guy, but you can esily put your credit card into that.

Well holy shit. I just sent him $30 for a 4000 point card, and he emailed me the code within 5 minutes. It worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip Rlan!
I think I might order another one right now... I mean, I never see points this cheap!

Hell yeah dude has 12+1 months of Gold for $30 as well.
Emailed him about a 4,000 point card. I'll be covered for at least 3 to 5 games.

So how does one obtain so many codes to make money selling them for $30 a piece like this?
Most likely stolen credit cards+Amazon.SHOTEH FOCK OP said:
Amazon has a report on the most stolen items, XBL Codes(Specifically points) are number 1 from what I heard :lol
2nd, They use the Classified ads since then Ebay doesn't get a cut(They get their cut for them placing the ad up and that's it...its not per sale). So hes probably making an extra 3 or so dollars now on each sold. He was originally going be selling them for 35, but knocked it back to 30 with the classified ads.
3rd, Its fantastic. All games are 40% off now. I loaded up on 8k the other day instead of using that money to buy BlazBlue. I'm prepared for the summer of awesomeness <3 <3 <3. Garou, MvC2, Shadow Complex, Worms Armageddon, Turtles in Time(If good), Explosion Man, and maybe even BF1943
4th, Just noting but on 1200-1600point games, Akino is normally cheaper if you directly buy the games from him(Thats if he has the game). On 800, he is either the same price or a bit higher.
And yes, Points that cheap have turned me into a much more impulsive buyer. Big difference when the games are 10-15 dollars to 6-9dollars :lol

Whoa whoa whoa, who said MVC2 was coming out at the end of July? I was always under the impression that it was July 1.

I was skeptical too, but I have now bought two 4000 point cards from him with no issues.

It's safe to assume that we'll (only) get half of this game, with the other half being a DLC add-on later... just like Arkanoid LIVE. If you look at Taito's track record (Arkanoid XBLA, Bubble Bobble WiiWare, Space Invaders WiiWare), it's pretty easy to predict that Taito will also milk this game for additional revenue.
Petrae said:
Pretty much. Puzzle Bobble Wii / Plus is already out in Japan and from all accounts this will be another version of that. That has 2 200 Wii Point Expansions.
The strange thing actually is that SIE and Arkanoid Live both got their expansions released last week - but SIE's was a 128kb unlock file, while Arkanoid had 2-3 meg files instead!

Just bought from this guy
http://cgi.ebay.com/Microsoft-Xbox-...2BC%2BP%2BS%2BIA&itu=UCI%2BUS-BWR&otn=4&ps=57
4000 for $30.99
Really hope this works
EDIT: HOLY SHIT, it literally took 15 minutes to get my code and it worked! Might get another.
EDIT 2: Couldn't resist and bought another one. 8000 should be good for a while

Paypal no longer lets you send money to his account, so I would guess, no.

I took a big gamble with these and bought a bunch about 20 minutes ago. But at least this dude was selling directly through Ebay, so there is a record to track and it seems more legit. I hope it works.
It let me get 2 through buy it now PayPal just a few minutes ago.
Just have to check if the code was sent to me in a bit.
Too bad I don't use a US account. Might have to make one. Was thinking about giving 1 to my friend, since he can never afford points. Good thing I helped set up his gold account, because I know his password. Maybe I will make it a surprise.

Who did you buy from? I bought from kurhn_de about half an hour ago and still haven't heard anything yet. Just trusting on random GAFers that this guy is legit (which was probably pretty stupid to do).

I just got an e-mail from him saying he wanted to talk with me via phone or recieve "proof" that I am the holder of the account. I sent him a response back asking what sort of proof he wanted. I don't really want to risk spam phone calls on my cell. Hope it still works out.
